Sense of Vastness

I have a First Friday Art Show at Stephan's Fine Art Gallery  in the Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage Alaska the First Friday of April.  The title of the show is  Sense of Vastness.  I will be having around 15 new paintings, they will be highlighting the Vastness of Alaska.  Alaska has over 5000 miles of coastline and if placed in the continental US it would stretch from the east coast to the west coast.  The incredible beauty and different types of climates is amazing.  Come to my show to learn more about my artwork and say "hi".

Lynn Brautigan Boots Art Show

Lynn Brautigan Boots at Stephan Fine Artst Gallery in Anchorage Alaska (Captain Cook Hotel).  My artist friend Lynn has a great showing of 40 paintings at Stephans Gallery this month.  They are all wonderful.  She is a very talented artist and I highly recommend that you see her show if you can.  Stehpan Fine Art Gallery just click this link and you can see some of her paintings on their website if you do not live in the Anchorage area.  Her art talent is only exceeded by her kindness.

Emotional Ups & Downs

Wow what a Roller Coaster week- We had the Plein Air Art Show all last weekend, despite the weather we had a good turn out and raised a higher amount of money for the Clare House then the last 3 years. 
  My Mom and Dad ( 85 & 90 ) came.   

Then on Monday afternoon Dad called me at work, Mom had fallen and broke her hip.  Tuesday she had hip surgery and is in the hospital now.   

Friday I took some paintings down to  Stephan Fine Art Gallery in the Capt Cook Hotel in Anchorage Alaska.   Found out I had recently sold some more paintings.  Always a good thing.

Yesterday Donna and I went and visited Mom in the Hospital.  Found out she had tried to stand up on her own with out calling for help and of course fell again.  This going to be a rough ordeal for Mom and Dad.  Chris my brother and I are trying to help as much as possible.   But there is only so much we can do.  Painting has been put on hold for a while until there is a little more time.

Glad Mom made it to our show though that will be a special memory for me.
