A new painting today just finished. Totally from my imagination. I saw a perfect summer day in a valley with a lake and a stream. Painting is unframed as yet, but will be soon.

BTW: Scottsdale didn’t pan out. oh well.

Update: New York Show in Chelsea is upcoming. Opening reception is August 4th, 6-8pm at Agora Gallery. So excited. If you’re in town, stop by and say hi.

Just got an email requesting me to be a visiting artist at the Gallery Andrea in Scottsdale, Arizona. (Photo above from website)

Here is a blurb from their website: “Gallery Andrea is named after international artist Andrea de Kerpely-Zak and is located in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale’s Gallery District.  Gallery Andrea offers not only Andrea de Kerpely-Zak’s artwork, but also pieces by several prominent artists from around the world.”

This will be very exciting if it pans out. I LOVE Arizona. Look for details soon if I can make it happen.

Also, just sent in “Bleeding Hearts” and another smaller painting for framing. Will be added to website soon.

I’m really looking forward to my trip to New York for the opening of my show: A Step Beyond Ordinary. We’ll be in NY in August with family and friends. I will be posting lots after we get back. Hopefully, everything will go well: the paintings reach the gallery in one piece, the plane flights to and from, lots of people attend the show. Crossed fingers. I’m nervous about the evening. There are videos taken during the ceremonies - hope I don’t look and talk like an idiot. I really hope I SELL something. Wouldn’t that be a hoot! If you’re reading this now, I hope you can come by and say hi.
