I get to be in two places at once this month. At the Trident 🔱 cafe and at the Great Frame Up in Longmont, these pieces and more will be available for viewing. Opening receptions are tomorrow May 8th, 5-8pm for the Great Frame Up and Saturday May 9th, 6-8pm for the Trident.

My annual Trident show is up! Life drawings of course. Mostly done in the last 8 years. It took longer to cull them down for public consumption than to hang them.

Experiments in my sketchbook mostly end poorly but sometimes things work out and I learn something new. And sometimes it becomes something that I like to look at again and again. That's all I can hope for. I made this from memory and imagination.

Some thumbnail sketches from one of my trips to Boston last year. I'll be teaching an urban sketching class again this spring with the Louisville Art Association. Hopefully my arm will be working again after shoulder surgery.
