xxmas

Greetings all,
Kat, Herschel and I will be heading out on our holiday trip this week. First stop is Harrisonburg VA to visit Kat's folks then to Knoxville TN to visit a good friend of Kathy; then Christmas in Arkansas with my family. I can hardly wait to show Kat Hot Springs. Hot Springs has Bathhouse Row and many art galleries. I also want to go looking for crystal while in Arkansas or maybe the Diamond Mine. I'm very excited I haven't been to Arkansas to see my family in almost three years.

Please feel free to email me at bmcswscw@cox.net

I have been getting ready for the upcoming Fabulous Forgeries show in January at The Artist Gallery. The show opening night will be at 7pm on 12 January, 07 (address 608 Norfolk AVE Virginia Beach).

Also I will be showing in a pastel show at Town Center and have been offered a one man show at the Barry Robinson Theater and Fine Arts Center for the month of January Opening Night will be on the 19th JAN07 at 7pm.

I do have some new finished work to show now. Enjoy!!!

Freedom's Golden Sunset
Oil on Canvas
32" X 48"


Boggy Marsh
Oil on Canvas
24" x 30"

The above work is all my finished works. Oils are funny, which is to say I have many unfinished works due to the nature of oil painting. Unlike acrylic paints oils take a very long time to dry. When I paint in oil I tend to get too much paint on the canvas and the oils start getting muddy and I have to set the work aside. I have 5 unfinished works in my studio which will have to wait till the new year for me to finish. lol.
