Del Ray Artisans Opening Friday 4-Mar-2011

This is going o be a fantastic show!   Del Ray Artisans in Alexandria has put together a bumper crop of exciting abstract art.  You don't want to miss this one.  From smaller encaustic and acrylic pieces to large acrylic figure paintings, even some abstract photography teat will blow your mind.  Here's a pic of some of the art being hung.  This is just one small corner of the gallery.  There is lots more to see than this and much better in person than my cheapo camera can show.  Shop opens Friday 4-Mar-11 at &PM to 10 PM.  Runs thru 27-MAr-11.  Rumor has it that wine and treats are going to be provided to the art lovers who come in.  This is a great chance to get original local art for your home at reasonable prices.  A show this good doesn't come long every day, so don't miss it!  :-)


Del Ray Artisans gallery is located near the intersection of Mount Vernon and Commonwealth Avenues in the Colasanto Center—a white building between the City swimming pool and the elementary school playground.

Action Painting Tater Art

Action painting is more random than much other art.  The process is takes center stage and directly affects the resulting art.  I like action painting methods where the randomness of nature has a major influence on the art.  If you'd like to try your hand at a little action painting, you might enjoy tater art.  Take a look at he Art projects tab for ideas on how to do it.

I have 4 works in the Feb-2001 Abstract Art show at MOCA DC.  The show opened Friday night and was a great time.  Quite a few people stopped in and hung around to enjoy the art and atmosphere.  The gallery next door (Parish art) was also having an opening so that was an nice extra.

Parish Gallery Proudly Presents
Anacostia River School of Photography Revealing the Treasures of the East Photographers -
Bruce McNeil, Zandra Chestnut, David Harris, Melanin Douglass, Marlon Norman, and James Holiday

They have a photography show of scenes around the Annacsotia Riverfront area in East DC.  Some real interesting photos too.  Well worth taking a look at them.

The MOCA abstract show includes a variety of styles.  Pure abstracts and representational abstracts both.  Also some spray art from Kevin (Jazi).

The show is running for the next 3 weeks at MOCA DC.  I have 4 pieces in the show, 1 new 3-D piece titled Un-bubbles, another recent 3-D piece titled Pre-D2, and 2 others, Morning Birds and Broken Path 1.  Here are a few pics from the opening on Flickr:
