Lots of time passed, many things done, a bit of a breakthrough in the art area. New Mexico was frustrating -- couldn't settle down and do anything worthwhile. Finally doing some reasonable things now. Need to photograph them and get them on the website.
I'll be part of an SOAG group show in 191 Cedar Arts in Corning, NY, from Nov. 20 - January '10, will have 4 paintings up at the Rogues Harbor Inn in Lansing, NY, from 11/1 to 12/15, and will be in the Ithaca Holiday Market on Dec. 12th at the Women's Community Center in Ithaca. As always, showing in th State of th Art Gallery in Ithaca.
Unfortunately the Tin Moon Gallery in New Mexico has closed. There had been 8 paintings available there; the 3 paintings which were unsold will now be available through me in Ithaca.
I never indicated that the wood reliefs I had made are now on the website, in the Other Media Category.

More exhibits: 2 small paintings at the State of the Art Gallery here in Ithaca, and one, also quite small, at the Sola Gallery.
Been making arrangements for a painting trip out to New Mexico. Really missed not being there at all last year.

It's been quiet for quite a while, then many things at once:
* My Breast Cancer Series was shown for the first time with all 6 paintings at the Rude and Bold exhibit in Binghamton the first weekend in October.
* I have a painting at the Upstairs Gallery in Ithaca as part of the Ithaa Artists Exhibit -- on till Nov 14th.
* I decided to do 26 small sketches for the Community School of Music and Arts Marathon fundraiser; that came down Monday.
* I'll be part of a joint exhibit between the Ink Shop and CSMA faculty through November, and
* will also be one of the artists who painted with an informal plein air group and who are exhibiting at the Tompkins regional airport Nov. through January.
This after doing some interesting reliefs with found wood. The first one is on a 24-inch diameter aluminum disk, and is entitled "Prayer"; the second is a 46" long panel entitled "Litany". As soon as I get a category for them, they'll be up on the website.
The religious theme was not the motivation -- it presented itself after I began working with the wood.
