Sensing the Unseen
“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley

Friday is the opening for my show, Sensing the Unseen, at the Kada Gallery. In my opinion, it’s a strong show with some interesting groupings within it. For instance there are several snow scenes, something I normally have done only once in a great while in the past. There was something different in painting these scenes this time however, something I can’t really identify except to say that these seemed more expressive right as the paint left the brush.
I really just enjoyed painting these. Finding the subtle colors in the white of the snow and sky was fascinating and rewarding. It just felt good as I definitely was immersed during the process.
Time is short today as I am delivering the show at the Kada Gallery, but I thought I would show the group of snow paintings together here. Come out to the gallery to see them in person. They always look better up close, in front of you, rather than on a screen.

I read your blog everyday, and have watched you put this show together. I have been moved with every posting. I marvel how you manage to bring a fresh view to every show you hang. I often wonder how you manage to find the energy to remain inspired at this level.
It’s wonderful to see these gathered together like this. I can attest to the importance of seeing your paintings in person, and have a sense that this will be one of your most effective shows ever. I’d love to be there, but I’m glad for the chance to see these paintings this way.
