A dream within a dream

Well, the gallery exhibit (A Dream Within A Dream) at Healthy House Art Gallery is officially in the books. The two months flew by. I’d like to thank everyone who took time out of their busy schedules and stopped by, especially on reception night (Oct. 7th, 2022). Being able to have my art hanging there, seeing your faces, and discussing it with you was a dream come true. Even after reception night, I chatted with several of you through email about my art, and that was just as rewarding. From the bottom of my heart, “THANK YOU”.

Also, a giant shoutout to those that decided to take some of my work home. My first gallery exhibit ended up being quite the success, and I owe it all to you! Whenever someone finds meaning in my art enough to purchase it, and hang it in their home— well, let’s just say it brings a tear to my eye. I’m one lucky guy…

an article so exquisite (Thank you, Kenneth!)

Kenneth Woods, of Refresherpoint, wrote an absolutely beautiful article about the exhibit. I encourage you to check it out when you get the chance (and please share it with anyone else that may be interested). He described the exhibit in ways that I’m unable to.

Until next time

I hope to do it all again soon, but until then, I’ll keep painting away. Stay tuned for another blog post in the near future. I just finished a painting that took a couple of months, and I’m in the process of framing it. I love the way it turned out! I hope to post about it before the end of the year.
