Call for artwork

If I haven’t seen you yet this summer, I just want to say hello and share our summer news. Gallery 100 already is busy this season, creating a permanent exhibit for a business that has an ideal public space to showcase fine art. I’m looking for regional artists to include in the collection, which will be local. Specifically, I am looking for paintings, prints, and mixed media works that reflect the beautiful region where we live. If you have any pieces we can consider for this project, I encourage you to drop me an email and send a jpeg file to: gallery100ss@aol.com I look forward to your updates and to seeing your work.

Consulting Work at Last

I've just been hired to put together a collection of artwork -- they want local artists - meaning artist from Saratoga County, Washington County and vicinity. This is such good news that I can hardly believe my ears. Someone is actually interested in purchasing original artwork -- this must mean something. That maybe the economy is changing and getting better. I'm excited!!!

Recent Paintings



I am finally getting down to business and I've started a new series of St Thomas paintings. Working from photographs, which is an entirely new thing -- I am developing a cast of West Indian personas. People I would love to know better.

St Thomas Paintings

I just returned from a delightful trip to St Thomas. I spent 3 weeks enjoying island life and ended up painting a series of 9 oil paintings on board. Since I haven't painted in over a year, it was intimidating at first brush stroke. But, as I progressed and started experimenting with paint, Kunstler's famous wax medium, etc. everything started falling into place. I painted a series of some of the beautiful West Indians I met during my stay. I will post the work soon.

Life After Gallery 100

It's been almost four months since we closed our doors at Gallery 100 in Saratoga Springs. It was bitter sweet -- I loved the gallery but it was apparent at the time that we were in for tough economic times. So, the decision was made and we closed. Now we are ready for a new venture. My friend Lynda and I are starting Sterling Home Watch in Bonita Springs Florida. It is not exactly the most creative endeavor but it is something that is needed in southwest FLA. And it will leave time to paint -
