Come on out next Friday and hang out with me at Scout Gallery!

Twice a year in Bay View, nearly every business becomes a gallery. On Friday, May 29, 72 restaurants, bars and stores will adorn their walls with local art for the spring edition of Bay View Gallery Night. The 15-year-old event gives artists a casual setting to showcase their work and makes art approachable.

“We’re planting seeds and trying to get people to be excited about the art scene,” says Jeff Redmon, co-organizer and co-owner of Scout Gallery.

I forgot about this fella...I used to take part in a recurring show series called Culture Jam which served as a great opportunity to explore different formats and ideas. I've always enjoyed sculpture when I do it but already have a lack of space that doesn't lend itself well to 3D art. I'll have to work on that...

I haven't tried to do a "large drawing" with the same techniques as the little 9x12" floods I've been doing for the last few months but I think it translated well and will keep getting better as it keeps getting more complex.

Overturned Boats. 24x30" Acrylic on foamcore.

Brand new from over the weekend...

Painted this canvas red some evening last week with a lot of water mixed in leading to some great variations in transparency...Let it sit for a while unsure of what to do until I saw the inklings of a horse and watchman in the shapes late Saturday...spent most of sunday working it out.

Watchman on a Red Day. 16x20" Acrylic and water on canvas.

Been putting this off for a long time but finally getting an archive page on my website started...60 paintings in to 2012...this is gonna take a while. Interesting to go through the old stuff tho so at least there's that. This would be a lot less fun if I didn't really like my art 🤣
