Last night was the opening reception for the 20/20 show at the Academy Square Galleries, 33 Plymouth St., Montclair, NJ. The show will run until December 15, 2017. I have 2 oil paintings in the show, "Hummingbird" and "Tulip". That's my artistically perceptive grandson, Harry, with me in the Hummingbird picture. He knows how much I love hummingbirds!! The show was very impressive. The concept is that all paintings, and other media, are at eye view and are 20" X 20" in honor of Studio Montclair's 20th Anniversary. The curator, Pamela Moore , wanted to create a show that included humor, beauty and innocence. She said my paintings personified "innocence". I am quite happy with this designation, as I look at the world with the eyes of wonder, and hope that is revealed through my paintings.
Sylvester is my muse. He loves to go up on the roof and survey his realm below. I love his tuxedo blocks of color which I extended to the roof and the leaves. I purposely limited the color palette and chose acrylic for bold color.
