The printing of my latest series of woodcuts is drawing to an end at Sharptown Press. The series was printed using ten carved wooden blocks, printed in various orders and orientations. Some images use two blocks, some five or six. Some are printed in black ink while others were printed in custom mixed colors.

You never know what or who an opening reception will bring at Thompson Giroux Gallery. The “OUTSIDE INSIDE” reception was no exception. Check out these jimokes. I definitely should have gotten a release from these friends of mine – an attorney and a REAL photographer. They’ll never see this blog anyway. 
A glimpse of the gallery before the opening. I have three oils in the show. It’s a wonderful selection of landscapes from 5 painters paired with the sculpture of Roger Phillips.
One of the stops (and a high point) on a recent trip to Holland was touring the Royal Talens factory in Apeldoorn, Holland. Royal Talens makes the “Rembrandt” line of oil colors I use in my paintings. The tour was arranged by Olaf Burgers of Talens 
and conducted by Don Nederhand
, the color specialist at Talens, also an artist. What an amazing experience! We toured the pastel and artist paint factory and saw every phase of production, from research and development, testing, production to packaging. Talens does a really good job of integrating art and arcane knowledge into a high tech, modern process and facility. They have a good website that doesn’t do justice to the amazing paints: www.talens.com/english
Alison Hill will graciously be hosting a display of my “Elemental” Wood Engravings
at her Studio/Gallery on the island for the months of July and August 2012. Alison is a very talented
artist who makes her home on Monhegan. There will be no formal
opening reception but you are invited to visit the Gallery anytime it’s open. Please stay tuned for more
specific information.
