My Artists News Letter March edition

"News from the studio"

March Edition 2010

Well were on the tail end of winter and spring is just around the corner.


I again would like to thank you all for making this month again the highest traffic month ever on my website eclipsing last month's new high.


Gallery Exhibit

First up for March Starting Saturday March 6th I will be representing my artwork at JH Miller Picture Framing & Gallery (413) 732-9128

86 Elm St West Springfield, MA. I hope this will be an ongoing relationship with them.



In the Works

I've been quite busy as of late adding two more new paintings to my Nostalgic portfolio. Radio Days ~ seen in the Photo above, and "The Old Victrola" ~ a representation of music and the vintage phonograph it was played on in its time. Currently I've started on a new piece with a touch of the Big Band era.

Speaking of Radio, in the days preceding television the family's sole source of entertainment was the radio. Parents and children would gather around the small wooden box and delight to such programs as the Green Hornet, The Shadow, and Lil' Orphan Annie. And to remind you of just how powerful radio programs gripped their listeners there was a News Report in 1938 about a strange object that crashed outside of a farm in New York State, the program was Orson Wells "War of the Worlds" and so believable it was to listeners that it caused a nationwide panic! Now we have television, cable and the internet to that for us.





Paying it forward

In the past months I've heavily promoted my website in the hopes of advancing my artwork and reaching new goals. This month I would like to pay it forward and introduce you to some other artists worthy of recognition, please give them a look if you could.
