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.

Abstract art at MOCA DC Feb-2011 02/06/2011
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.

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:

Well, somehow I managed to delete my blog, so here I am starting over. Computers are sure fun! :-)
Ok, just a warning, I am a lousy typist anymore, so please forgive any typos I miss correcting. Funny what just a little nerve damage can do to your manual dexterity.
Tonight I spent some time at Big Bear Cafe in Washington, DC. I attended a fund raiser for Clark Ray, hosted by Cheryl Edwards. Big Bear Cafe was generous enough to provide a meeting place and we had some fine iced tea and iced coffee too. Some people snarfed down some tasty looking pastries too. I avoided those myself since I am on the gluten free diet. They sure looked good though.
Cheryl emceed the art auction to raise funds for Clark Ray's campaign and did a great job of it too. Lots of art was sold including a couple of my minature encaustics. I missed out on one of Cheryl Edward's New York water tower paintings though, danged if someone didn't out bid me at the last minute.
Mr. Stu Davenport, proprietor of the Big Bear Cafe purchased one of my minature encaustics. Thanks Stu! Another one was bought by a fine young couple whose names I didn't get. Duh..!
Clark Ray talked about his campaign for at large council member for DC. Clark had good points and of course my ears really perked up when he talked about funding for arts programs in the city school system. Not that I have kids myself, but it sure seems like an important way for kids to learn a creative outlet for self-expression.
Hopefully I won't accidentally delete this blog page anytime soon...
