Emerging out of Frying Bacon Smell

My first Group "Exhibit!" My painting class just finished up its two-week show at Fort Mason Art Campus, in the First Floor cafe area. The accompanying photo, which my blog fans can click on to enlarge, shows six of my recent paintings hanging in my very own display case and being willfully ignored by a cafe patron who reminded me of a Duane Hanson sculpture.

I actually received an *inquiry* about the possibility of selling one of the paintings on display, titled "Escape From Queens." (middle lower painting) The gentleman who wrote the note said, "I escaped from Queens myself and this painting really touched me by connecting a visual to my experience." Needless to say, I am now doing a whole "Escape From Queens" series.

A special shout-out to fellow painter Bob B. :-)

I hope it was a thrill to do the showing. It looks great. There must be many coffee shops in the area that do showings and sell items... any interest in doing those? As a coffee-shop aficionado, I've seen some great art on the walls, from LA to NYC. Congrats!
