Finders! Keepers? Art Project

Finders! Keepers? Artwork #: FK56
In December 2006, I began an art project called Finders! Keepers?. It's essentially an arty version of "message in a bottle."

Here's the premise -- I create small original artworks, number and package them, and leave them in a public place somewhere on the planet. Then, I trust that someone finds it and emails me to share their experience.  To learn more about the project, click HERE.

Two more pieces will be left in a public place before the end of 2008. I look forward to dropping more art around the planet in 2009. Keep your eyes open -- they could be anywhere!

PBS Launches New Arts Blog

Last night, PBS' The News Hour launched a new arts blog called Art Beat with visual arts as one of their main focuses. Journalist and Art Correspondent, Jeffrey Brown heads the team. I think it is just incredibly positive that a major news outlet is dedicating air time and featuring extended arts coverage on their new blog.

For years I've enjoyed arts-related documentaries, artist features, and how-to shows on PBS. In fact... (Honey, don't read this!) ...Santa is bringing us the DVDs of  Rape of Europa (the fate of art during WWII) and the entire series of Art 21 -- both documentaries originally aired on PBS and we just had to include them in our art library. Christmas Day in our house will be spent in an artful viewing marathon, me thinks.

If you have a moment over the busy holiday season, check out the Art Beat blog. I think it will grow into a great resource and another great arts-related community.

Holiday Miniature Show Update

"Pentimento", 12" x 12", Oil on Canvas
I'm delighted to report that five of the six paintings I delivered to Abend Gallery for their Annual Holiday Miniature Show have already sold and the show is not even open yet!

On Black Friday alone, four paintings sold -- so, it seems that art collectors are still active despite the gloomy economic news.

Today I had to make an emergency delivery of four new paintings so I'd have something to show on opening night.

I am truly honored when someone takes one of my paintings into their homes. Many thanks! 
 
The show runs from December 5 - 31, 2008, with the opening this Friday from 5:00 - 9:00 pm.
