The Task.

Tomorrow January 28th I will have the honor of being a part of the Jury panel for the Junk or Genius II Competition. I am really excited about this opportunity to be part of the selection process. It should be interesting to see how myself and the fellow jurors respond to the artwork. I am also eager to see the range and variety of work which we will be presented. Look for the results at www.galloregallery.com after January 30th.

Show info is as follows:

January 12th- February 19th
Opening January 12th 6PM-8PM

I love this Image. This is about five hours into this work.

New painting Four hours in

This is an image I've been wanting to paint for a while. I like trying to achieve the different textures ranging from the sand, to the water, and then rocks. Hopefully will be done soon!
