Photos from Seance

I finally made my way back into The Belfry just before my show came down to snap some shots of the work on the walls. There are a couple of blurry images, so please forgive me. It seems the camera I was using is a trickster, lulling me into a false sense of sharpness and clarity.
 After an amazing trip for a behind the scenes tour at the Burke Museum, I picked up the remaining pieces from the show.  
And as an added bonus, this little guy.


We're the best of friends.

 Below, the gauntlet of images.

Autographs

While searching among booths and booths of antiques this past week, I came across this beautiful old school autograph book. I have a collection of old photo albums that I love, but have never come across a blank autograph book before. I decided it would make a perfect little sketch book.

Conjuring ideas...


Working on ideas for my upcoming show in February. Animals and spirits, ghosts and nature.  Building my own occult symbols... a magick of my very own. 



Skulls and bones, smoke and ectoplasm.

Dropped off my piece for the upcoming " Death and the Maiden " show at Roq La Rue Gallery in Seattle. It's shaping up to be an amazing array of work!

The Night Procession

The Night Procession
acrylic on matryoshka


Not the best photos, but it should give a clue as to what I've been up to for the past few weeks.  I realized over this process that I really enjoy painting in acrylic.  I still love watercolor, so we'll see what happens. I had been working on a series of large drawings before I had to set them aside to work on these.
Looking forward to getting back to them.

The opening for this show is this Thursday, December 8th at Ghost Gallery in Seattle.
Should be interesting to see the turn-out and the other artists' matryoshka.

Matryoshka

It's been at least a couple of years since I've worked in acrylic so this project has become an exploration of the medium for me.
So far, so good.

  Plugging away for a group show in Seattle this December at Ghost Gallery. Curated by the talented Michael Alm.

Miniature animals.

Working on a group of small paintings of animals for an upcoming little show/sale in my neck of the woods. Putting ghostly things on hold just for a bit. 




"Scout Hall" is a very cool little location here in Bremerton. A couple of friends with a wonderful eye for design and all things lovely have converted a vintage Scout meeting hall into a wonderful venue for shows, dinners and just hanging out with good people. 


I'll have a total of 8 animal watercolors available. 
And of course, I'm always sketching, regardless of what I'm painting. Here's the latest from the sketchbook.



Lastly, it looks as if my work has made it onto the Hi-Fructose Magazine Blog!
