I have officially completed the 20 paintings for my June show. Between Anthropologie and J.Crew, I honestly didn’t think I’d meet my goal. It feels mighty good to have accomplished so much in the last 6 months and I’m looking forward to seeing all the pieces hanging in the gallery.
I’m pleased and honored to share a review of my solo exhibition this past June by American Arts Quarterly. Click here if you are so inclined to give it a read.
It’s the 1st of January, 2010. As a kid, I thought that was an impossibility. 2010, the number alone looks so futuristic.
I’ve been plugging away in the studio and have many paintings and ideas on the go for my June 2010 solo exhibition. I’ll also be participating in two other shows after that, so my calendar is full for the year.
I look forward to sharing all the paintings I’ll be doing. I also have plans to share progress photos and snapshots of the studio (like the “class photo” below of all the dusty clocks I’ve got hanging around).
Happy New Year!
I finally got my hands on the June 2009 issue of Southwest Art magazine… where I’m referred to as Christopher Scott. Still, I must say it is really an honor to be in the magazine! Click on the image to see it large and give it a read.
I’m working away in the studio, quietly and contentedly. Larger pieces, slower process. All for the show in June. March, April, May will be exciting. Well, okay, there’ll be pangs of anxiety and stress, but I’ll get over it. When I was a student, I convinced myself that I worked well under pressure. I’ll go with that theme again.
I won’t be posting any new paintings for some time. Instead, if you’re so inclined, check out my paintings on Flickr. It’s a great way to see the paintings at a glance, and get a better sense of my palette and designs I’m working with.
My friend Karin Jurick already mentioned on her blog that she spotted my work, along with another friend of mine, Neil Hollingsworth, in the November 2008 issue of Southwest Art Magazine.
I’m on the bottom right of the left page (the bubble gum machine). Neil’s work is the PB&J on the top left of the left page.
It’s kind of exciting to see your work in a publication.
