Dixon Reception

....the gallery walls were hung with care,
in preparation for guests that soon would be there ...

The opening at the Scott Hill Gallery the weekend of June 13 was just grand. The 27 pieces hang beautifully together on the gallery walls. The paintings and prints are from several different collections of work and surprisingly speak very well together as a group. Most of the work consists of water imagery with a few land compositions... grass, one of my favorite muses.


The lovely Liz and James Fuller hosted a fantastic cocktail party at their home before the guests wandered over to the gallery reception. It was a beautiful day in Dixon. I was truly expecting the inland California heat and was pleasantly surprised that the weather felt like home, warm with cool breezes. It just couldn't have been better.


Liz is an amazing chef and the food was sublime. I'm beyond grateful for their care and support.

News from Dixon and Scott Hill

Greetings
This weekend Dixon holds one of its twice-yearly Art and Wine Strolls. From 4-8 p.m. on Saturday, May 30, downtown Dixon will feature local wines and art. The gallery will be open for the stroll and all work will be 25 percent off. The sale will continue through the next weekend as well (June 6).

I'm excited to announce as well that on June 13, the gallery will host an opening reception for Nicole Strasburg. Nicole is a Santa-Barbara-based painter whose coastal abstracts invite contemplation and study. They are truly terrific. Nicole's work is featured in many public and private collections, and has also been featured on national magazine and catalog covers.

Nicole will share the evening of June 13 with us. Please join us from 6-8 p.m.

Look for additional images of Nicole's work forthcoming on the website.

Sullivan Goss & Scott Hill Gallery

Two solo exhibitions on my calendar this year, the first taking place at Scott Hill Gallery in Dixon, California, Dixon is near Davis and not far from Sacramento. Scott is new to the gallery scene having only opened his doors last September. My show will open Saturday, June 13th.

The work will be a combination of new work, not previously exhibited, as well as some beautiful older pieces that need to be seen in a new venue. Like this image of Mt. Tamalpais that was featured in a show at the LA County Museum rental gallery several years ago and has not been out of the studio since.

The second exhibition will be with my primary dealer in Santa Barbara, Sullivan Goss - An American Gallery. I found out this week that the show had been moved from early September to early August with the caveat that it will run for 3 months through November 1st. A wonderful Fall slot which thrills me. My last show at the gallery was April 2007 so it's been 2 good years of painting and showing outside of Santa Barbara at other venues. I'll be ready with a truckload of new work... get ready!
