Once in a Blue Moon over Provincetown

 $110 plus $10 S&H

In 2009 the moon was full on both December 2nd and December 31st which is the blue moon. I was visiting my friend Irene who lives on the edge of Race Point and Provincelands. We took a walk in the dunes and on the way back I shot photos of the moon which was visible before the sun set that day. There's just something about the moon that enthralls us.

I am busily working on paintings for my Provincetown gig but I do want to give a heads up about the 4th Floor Artists Open Studios this month. I'm not back from Naples until the 10th of May so I won't be able to participate.

Provincetown at Dusk

I applied and was chosen to show my work in a Trap Shed on McMillan Wharf in Provincetown for the week of July 18-24. About a half dozen of these little sheds are rented out to artists with the approval of the Pier Corporation and are fairly new to the Wharf scene.  I visited with some of the artists this past summer and wanted to go for it since I've always felt a connection to Provincetown and love painting there. The beauty of the location is that everyone who comes by boat has to walk right by these sheds. That would be many hundreds of people each day :D This scene is from Bradford Street looking toward the Pilgrim Monument. I never get tired of the beauty of this place.

Michael Costello Opening at Julie Heller Gallery

I'm taking an overnight trip to Provincetown to attend my friend Michael Costello's "Gods and Monsters" show at Julie Heller Gallery.

Michael is seriously good at both representational art and the kind of art that really stops people in their tracks. He tends to portray his models as the 'not conventionally beautiful people'. He's a hardworking fearless artist. Check him out.
