THE GREAT ESCAPE

THE GREAT ESCAPE 

6x6

This months GJWP challenge is an interpretation of E E Cummings poem "Maggie and Millie and Molly and May" My painting is a lose interpretation of his poem. I used a different metaphor than the sea. I doubt if EE would mind. I mean.... what's that poem about? 

I also want to give some credit to my 7 year old great nieces Maggie and Ava for showing me how to paint a butterfly!

This is available at the  ROWLEY GALLERY in Orleans MA. It was painted in the midst of the Orleans 25th Annual Garden Tour. It was a peaceful spot. Can you hear the birds?

WEST COAST ART

I had the good fortune of meeting Marguerite Elliot on my trip in CA. She is an artist, curator and video producer in the Bay area. Her small and large scale mixed media pieces concern socio/political, environmental and feminist issues. I went up to Ross CA and saw her current exhibit at Sam the Butcher Gallery.

Other news. I will be painting at a garden in the Orleans 25th Annual Garden Tour tomorrow with a Reception to follow at  THE ELIZABETH ROWLEY GALLERY from 4-6.

I am happy to be participating in the THE COPLEY SOCIETY Summer Members Juried Exhibit. The Opening is next Saturday June 29.

This coming week-end is the SOUTH SHORE ARTS FESTIVAL. I will be missing it as I am in California doing other creative work....working with Dr. Einstein. However I will be well represented at the Festival. This painting can be seen in the ART tent and I am proud to have my painting DUET be the poster painting for the Festival and the program cover for the event.
