Yesterday I took more art to Green Plow Coffee Roasters, downtown Redmond, OR. Stop in if you missed the show at COCC.
Passing through Redmond, Oregon anytime in December? Stop in at new and charming Green Plow Coffee Roasters and enjoy some coffee and art. On Saturday, Dec. 5th, I’ll be adding the new art from the COCC gallery.
Today was a happy and rare day- I actually completed three paintings.
This one is called “Ophelia’s Coffee Break”. The original is by Waterhouse, the same artist who I’ve paid homage to with my “Lady of Chocolat”.
And this one, “Rx Espresso”, was commissioned by the new shop of that name, near a hospital in Juneau, Alaska. Perhaps I’m starting a medical series- a few years ago, I was commissioned to paint the famous nurse Florence Nightingale.
And the third painting has to remain a secret for now. I’ll let you in on it when I’m allowed to.
All of these and the ones in the previous post will be available as prints by Christmas time. If you are interested in the originals, please contact me.
I’ve been hard at work in my new studio; here are some of the results. They aren’t quite ready for prints yet, but should be in time for Christmas. Contact me if you would like to purchase something.
This is “DaVinci’s Barista”, about 32×36″. His original includes text about the measurements of the human body, but since this was for the COCC gallery’s “Show of Words”, I changed the text to be coffee related. He holds the tools of the Barista’s trade, and is standing on bags of coffee.
DaVinci's Barista
I was honored to have several new pieces included in the show “The Nature of Words” at the Central Oregon Community College gallery. I created “DaVinci’s Barista”, “Vermeer’s Barista”, and “Beans 1″ and “Beans 2″. The show went along with the college’s literary event and the art needed to include words in some way, so I reworked da Vinci’s “Vitruvian Man” text to be about coffee, and thought the origin words on the bags of beans would count as well.
