New Figurative work

Here are some new pieces Evan and I finished this summer.

Here’s one of Dexter and Tiffany (great models) who were my characters for Adam and Eve.
This painting is called “Restoration” and is about human kind being healed and freed from sin, sickness, and death at the end of the age, and having unlimited love, life, and creativity unleashed.

Evan’s piece is titled: “How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you? I want you, why am I scared?”
I don’t want to speak for Evan, but I would wager that this painting is about facing fears. It’s a powerful painting that makes me think of the fears we have about trusting and fully surrendering our lives to our Creator.

“In the Flesh” at Bromwell’s Gallery

Evan and I are very excited to be curating the show, “In the Flesh” at Bromwell’s gallery.
We’re working with the lovely and talented Tracy McClorey to organize this exhibition that centers around the human form as its theme.
The show will be juried by Marlene Steele and also features a guest lecture on the history of the human figure in art by Tina Tammaro.
The opening is August 28th, so save the date! It’s going to be night bursting at the seams with beauty, talent, and fun!

New work, new show

Here are some new pieces Ive been working on.  They will be showing at Taza Coffee house in Clifton.  I will be installing the show tomorrow, so go down and check it out, the pictures never do art justice.
Alison and I have been getting a lot of work done lately, so we have been pretty swamped. She is working on a new series that I cant wait to show everyone! They are already looking awesome! Ill post a sneak peak of a WIP at the end of this blog.
I hope everyone out their in cyberland is doing well! Thanks so much for coming back and checking our blog out. We have so much more beauty to show all of you.
Until next time, God bless!

Conquering the canvas!

I just made three stretchers and Im  going to make many more this week! Hope I dont scare any of the children out there with my morning hair due;)
So I should have some updates soon of some works in progress and some completed work. Alison also has a few that I still need to photograph.
Also, check back soon for a show update. Ill be showing some work at Taza in the month of April. Lots of brand new stuff!
In other news, our good friend Renan picked up some of our work last week and used it for a photo shoot. She is a designer and uses us for quite a bit of work! The cool thing she only took the paintings to the shoot, she didnt bring them back. Thats because four of them sold! Yes, we did celebrate this success! Renan REALLY hooked us up. We should have photos to post soon.
Until next time, I hope everyone out there is doing well. Keep coming back, I should have new stuff to post soon!

Photo from our showing at Music Hall.

Here is a photo Litsa Spanos took of us. We were showing work at Music Hall for the board of the Cincinnati Opera.
Alison and I just happen to have Music Hall on our dream board hanging in my studio;)

New Abstract anyone?

Here is a new one I just did. Got kind of messy, I like that! 60X48 inch Mixed media on canvas.
Hope you all have a great weekend!

We have been busy!

Wow, I was keeping up with this. Things have really been ramping up.
We had a really cool thing happen yesterday. Our friend Litsa at Art Design Consultants hooked us up with a really cool gig. Alison and I got to display our work for the Cincinnati Opera board at music hall! It was such a good experience to show our work and meet many of the board members. They were all so nice and really appreciative of us having our work there. They also had two opera singers there doing a couple of songs. It is amazing that the human voice can sound so awesome all by itself. What a gift it was to hear them.
Anyways it was really a wonderful experience and we just wanted to thank Litsa and the Opera board for getting it together.
Also, dont forget to go and check out ADC on final Fridays at the Pendleton building. They are in the annex across the alley.
