Fear Hope and Longing III: Paintings of the Pacific Northwest
Visual Space Gallery
3352 Dunbar Street, Vancouver, BC
November 23 – December 8, 2016
Dear Friends,
Plans for this Fall’s exhibition of my new landscape paintings of the western coast of Vancouver Island – Fear, Hope and Longing III – are coalescing nicely.

Visual Space Gallery will be the location. The show will last a full two weeks, last week November – first week December and will be open daily, noon – 6 pm. I’ve invested in new LED lights (much cooler – for those attended my last show in the Dunbar location) with special LED spotlights for smaller works.

I finished a number of the paintings while in Tofino with Lyne the last two weeks of April. Images of the works were captured by master art photographer Ted Clarke of Image This Photography
The next set of finished works have just been posted on my website in Upcoming Exhibitions.
I have confirmed the venue. I’ve set the scene….. now I need some company!
Opening reception will be Thursday November 24th, 5 – 8 pm. Please plan on coming. Put it in your appointment book and calendar.
I will also be hosting dinner parties at Gallery (it has a small kitchen) on Saturday November 26th and Friday December 2nd. Pencil in those dates!
Let me know if you can come either evening. I guarantee good food, good wine and very interesting people.

OTHER NEWS
At Gallery 110 in Seattle during October 2016, I will be showing a series of much darker, figurative works– a series of portraits of “Bad Guys” – acrylic paintings exploring the ‘Face of Evil’. The first images of the two series can be viewed at Mug Shots and Evil in Disguise.
“We love mug shots. The newspapers show us the faces of “bad guys”: serial killers and wife-beaters, terrorists and animal abusers, pederast priests and gang-bangers, rapacious corporate scam-artists and nasty racist small-town sheriffs. We find it endlessly absorbing, searching in the facial bone structure, or the skin color, or the facial hair for a pattern we can recognize as dangerous, trying to discover some clue of expression that would identify and warn of evil within.“
