New Painting: Charlie Brown Shirt

Charlie Brown Shirt, acrylic on panel, 12x16, 2009

I guess this is sort of a self portrait. I have a striped shirt like this and my wife makes fun of me when I where it, usually mocking me by singing/dancing to the "Charlie Brown" song. Thus, the title of the painting...

The show at Urbanest is now installed. I spent the afternoon today getting it hung. There's a mix of lakefront and cityscape imagery in a wide range of sizes. I'm showing both paintings and screen prints. It's the first time many of these pieces have been shown so I'm excited to see how they're received.

The Opening Reception party is Friday, October 2nd from 6pm-10pm. It's free. There will be food catered by Big Jones and wine courtesy of In Fine Spirits. It's the kickoff party for the Andersonville Arts and Home Weekend. Hope you can make it!

New Painting: Sunset on the Brown Line

Sunset on the Brown Line, acrylic on wood panel, 80x30, 2009

This is one of the largest paintings I've ever done. The scene was composed referencing various sketches and photographs I've taken in Chicago and New York. While not an actual representation of anywhere in the city, it has familiar elements - the lake, L train, water tanks, and old warehouse buildings - some of my favorite subjects.

This painting will get it's first public showing October 2nd at my Urbanest exhibit during the opening night of the Andersonville Arts and Home Weekend.

More details coming soon on the opening night party....
