I was pleased to learn that my Pasco Hernando Community College show was covered in the Pasco Times edition of the St. Petersburg Times today. I don’t know how long it will be available, but the link is here.
The image in the Times, Three Couples, has had a lot of good press itself — Legion Paper has used it in advertising for Stonehenge paper for over a year. It’s earned a lot of recognition from being in so many art magazines. And it’s won several awards, including Best of Show in the Florida Artist Group annual show in 2006.
I have a solo show, “Water’s Edge” opening on August 27 at the Alric C.T. Pottberg Library at Pasco Hernando Community College, on their New Port Richey (FL) campus. 46 of the 47 pieces in this show feature water in some natural form. The colored pencil pieces are mostly views of Florida beaches but the show also features a group of plein air paintings of lakes, river, marshes and the gulf. In addition, there are a handful of miniatures in colored pencil — it’s one of those that’s without water, a portrait of family members at a parade.
The opening reception, hosted by the college, is Thursday, August 27, 3 – 7 PM. (Although if you want to see me, get there before 6, as I have to leave early for a class at 7!) The show remains on view until September 19; regular viewing hours are 9 – 8, Mon – Thurs, and 9 – 3:30, Fri – Sat. Private viewing and tours can be arranged by calling 727-816-3229.
I’m offering an exciting new workshop this fall, along with my ever-popular class that shows how to take the guesswork out of color mixing.
