Chicago’s Fine Arts Building Event

Last month I shipped 5 paintings to Chicago! to be hung in the Fine Arts Building studio of Modern Classics Furniture   I’m hoping to make a trip this Fall for an opening, but in the meantime, the lovely Alison who manages the store is hosting an art event for the building’s Second Friday.

If you are in the Chicago area, I’d love for you to experience my paintings in person.

Details.

Here’s one of the paintings showing in Chicago–a bit of a departure from my moody palette, but inspired by Rilke.

from Uncollected Poems…
 
I endlessly marvel at you, blissful ones—at your demeanor, the way you bear your vanishing adornment with timeless purpose. Ah, to understand how to bloom: then would the heart be carried beyond all milder dangers, to be consoled in the great one.

Learning to bloom, 36 x 36 inches, framed in maple floater frame, $1750
