This fall my current show, Raw and Real, with Space Gallery in Denver, CO features 15 new paintings from 2019! I am excited to write that my painting, Breakfast in Belfast, was recently acquired by a long time private collector for his collection. This painting was inspired by my travels through Northern Ireland, specifically, Belfast. What an amazing city full of culture, rich history of the Troubles, Black Cab Tours, piers full of ships, the Titanic Museum, Titanic film studios, and more. I could have spent weeks there and hope to return and do just that. The light along the River Lagan was exquisite and inspired this work.
Even if I can just spend a short time in a place like Belfast I find some extraordinary experience which becomes the seed for a new painting. Upon my return home and to my studio I unpack and then settle into my studio space and paint for months.
Raw and Real continues through January 11, 2020 with Space Gallery 400 Santa Fe Drive Denver, CO
