a crappy photo of some of the paintings in my solo show currently up at Amy's Place on Wickenden Street in Providence, RI.
there are 23 paintings in all included in my solo show, "A Song for Nancy, A Song for David" which will be up through mid-October.
An out of town, artistic friend stopped by to see the show earlier this week...and I found myself a wee bit uncomfortable prior to his viewing of the work. The root of my discomfort being the fact that I know these pieces were not afforded the time & space necessary for me to really dig deep and honor them properly.
He laughed when I explained this and asked "why did you invite me to see them then"?
I invited him because I find it a good check & balance...(sharing the work with someone I know who really gets art...who can distinguish between soul work & surface work and isn't afraid to call me on the carpet about it. He is someone I can be artistically and personally vulnerable with and he will not judge me, but rather support me as a fellow creative soul and friend.
So rare to find, such a shame I only get to see him briefly about once each year...fortunately, his timing is impeccable.
That said, getting ready for and releasing this show was good for me in many ways...there is much to be proud of...
I really enjoyed the process of creating a show to live in this space which has such a great vibe...and kick-ass food & smoothies...
