This is the third painting that sold at the 20/20 Show at the 20th Street Gallery. The scene is Lover's Point in Pacific Grove, CA. It was a rare day when the ocean was calm.

Point Lobos






















Point Lobos oil on board 8" x 8"

This is the second painting that sold at the 20/20 show at the 20th Street Art Gallery. I received several compliments regarding it and one of the other participating artists was nice enough to tell me that he thought it was the best piece in the show. The scene is a cove in Point Lobos, a California state park located just south of Carmel and just north of Big Sur.

Gown






















Gown oil on board 8"x8"

I was recently in a group show called the 20/20 at 20th Street Art Gallery in Sacramento. The show has closed so now I will include some of the work I did for it. I thought the show was very good with some very interesting, varied and excellent work. Sales in general were only so-so because of the bad economy but a few artists did have about half their paintings sold. The gallery sold three of my paintings. The painting included here is one of them and I believe it sold on the first day because I never saw it hanging. It is one of my personal favorites and one of the most difficult for me to paint because it is a quite complex image and I wasn't sure how it would be received. It's a shop window with dresses and a suit displayed in it and the window has the reflected image of the scene across the street. I'll be posting the other two paintings that sold but might not show the unsold paintings because I may approach other galleries with them first.
