My First Sale!
So, at the closing reception for my show, I sold one of the Small Fall series: Small Fall 2. I was quite pleased as you can imagine.
I break down the show this week, so if you’re in the NYC area, get down there before March 1!

Where Did I Go!?!?
So, I was hanging the paintings and drawings for my first ever public show, and I had two left over. One was an oil painting, Small Fall 5 (Whole Foods), and one was my favorite self-portrait, done in charcoal, called Self-Portrait, 2003. I also took Sunday Morning over there, but I hung that one and didn’t have to carry it back home.
In preparing for the hanging, I had to mat the charcoal drawings and the watercolors, and just for extra precaution, I sprayed the charcoal drawings with fixative yet again. I get paranoid about that stuff. I figure I’ve fixed Self-Portrait, 2003 about three times over the years.
So, in carrying this stuff back home, I wrapped the drawing and the painting in some old sheets I had, threw them in a trash bag and humped it back to Brooklyn.
And whaddya know? When I got home, my self-portrait was gone! As you can see here.
I laughed until I cried. And then I cried some more. But at least I could laugh about it. I always did have a self-effacing sense of humor.

First Public Showing
Yet another milestone! I am hanging my first ever public showing of artwork tomorrow: Friday, February 2, 2007, at the
7th and 2nd Gallery
50 E. 7th Street
Middle Collegiate Church
New York, NY 10003
Of course, it’s at 7th Street and 2nd Avenue! It’ll be up for the entire month of February! I would like to invite anyone in the NYC area to swing through and take a look. Believe it or not, I haven’t decided yet what I’m going to put up (!), but a selection of new and older stuff, I’m sure. Some drawings, too.
