On the road today, off to deliver the work for my Icons & Exiles show that opens Friday at the Octagon Gallery at the Patterson Library in Westfield, NY. It’s out in the rural reaches of far western New York, where the foothills of the the Alleghenies flatten into rolling plains that take you to the shores of Lake Erie.
It’s a different sort of show for me, one that allows me to show my most personal work, much of which has not been shown in public for twenty plus years, if ever. There’s a certain exhilaration in seeing this lesser known work that makes it a bit different than my normal shows. It should be an interesting show.
Have a good day. Here’s an appropriate tune for cruising those long empty stretches of highway out in western NY. It’s Canned Heat with Going Up The Country.

Funny to think of “long, empty spaces” in New York, but of course my experience of the state is wholly urban and I think of NYC first. It’s a great cruising tune you’ve chosen; one of my favorites.
Well, they’re not long and empty in the Texas sense of the words. But most of western NY is quite rural and sparsely populated. When I tell people that I am from NY, they naturally assume that I mean the city. Like you, they are surprised to learn there is a very rural NY.
