The new agenda

Hello again, a couple weeks ago i decided to put an ad on Craig list to have some local gathering with some artists who might be interested on Saturdays at 9:00 am at Starbucks coffee place right before Shakespeare festival to discus some art.I did receive a couple responses but I'm still waiting to see if any more people could join us in this fun gathering.We can talk about all kinds of activities in art or exchange ideas and also have group painting or sketching as well.We also can go to the fields around Ashland for sketching or visit the Galleries to have critics.

This is what happened when my wife Erika and I finished school in Idaho and we decided to move to Oregon. After two months living in Ashland, Oregon, I got in Living Gallery which is located in downtown Plaza in Ashland.

I was very excited and it was unexpected for me to getting to the real gallery in new town that soon. I took that as a good welcome to us in a new town.My first one man show was very successful and i presented about 8 or 9 big paintings regardless of limited of spacial in this Gallery managed to hang number of paintings on two long walls.At first the owner of Gallery was not quite sure to keeping me as a contracted Artist because of the size of my big paintings, her place is not the huge gallery to have a wall size paintings hung in there.

A few months later i found one of the Restaurants in down town Ashland named Pilaf with huge long walls where i could place all my big paintings hung there with no problem.The owner of Restaurant was happy and i covered all her walls with my colorful paintings.I sold a few paintings until a six months ago when Restaurant owner decided to sell her place and at the same time Living Gallery decided to have me back as a regular Artist. MY second show was on July 1th to Aug 10th. Ashland Barn was one of my best eye catching peace that captured lots of interest on viewers eyes.I also, presented about 7 small size paintings 11x14 .

An Introduction

Hello everyone! I'm an oil painter and I have been painting for at least 10 years. I mostly paint landscapes either from pictures or I do sketches of my favorite scenery. Sometimes I paint from memories , places that I have never been in person but I do feel that I have. My motivation is every day go to my studio and get busy with my work and it wouldn't make any difference if my painting was good or it was a bad day of painting, my work it goes on no matter what happens. However, if it's a bad day in painting, for some reason I would have a hard time to move on. A day like this it would effect my other activities but life goes on. I completed my BFA studio art in 2005 from University of Idaho and now live in Medford, Oregon. I currently present my work of art in Living Gallery in Ashland, Oregon.
