nothing out of the ordinary

I like Robert Walsers writing a lot.
Here is a good example, an excerpt from a short text from 1914 that feels close to my artwork, my imagery and my thoughts in general:

from: A Little Ramble

by Robert Walser.

I walked through the mountains today.

The weather was damp, and the entire region was gray.

(...)

We don’t need to see anything out of the ordinary.

We already see so much.

Open Studios Spring 2010 - save the date!

studio update

small figures, acrylic on board, some based on pictures of strangers I took over the years, some are old family photos.

It is interesting to me how people carry themselves, posture reveals much about a person.

end-of-winter-update 3/16/2010

dear friends-

I thought you should be the first to see the ten new (small) paintings that went online today at Hang Gallery ... Also, more (big ones) are in the works.

Some fun things for you to do this spring:

Join me in supporting Art For City Youth at ArtSpan's grand fundraising event and art auction on Saturday, March 27.

If you happen to be in New York City from May 6-9, check out the Affordable Art Fair- Hang Gallery will have a booth there along with over 70 fabulous international galleries and I will be there too. Let me know if you go!

SPRING OPEN STUDIOS will be here before you know it - and this time the seven major Mission Studios got really organized so you should expect a great weekend full of extra fun previews, parties, art and street food. April 23/24/25 2010. Download the full event guide closer to the date at missionartistsunited.org.

If you are into movies, read the story of what was recently happening with Clint Eastwood, Matt Damon and "City Sky #21" in Hollywood.

Hope to see you at one event or another, enjoy the last days of winter

all the best
