Recycled Art Show

Please join us in Schuylerville NY to view the Hudson Crossing Recycled Art- Salon Show

April 1^st to May 31^st 2013 at Espressohuis- 31 Ferry Street, Schuylerville NY.

If your out cruz'in for the day there's also General Knox and the Train of Artillery sculpture on Rt 4 headed towards Gansevoort NY to stop and see. 

I enjoyed the re-acquaintance with Pastor Jason Proctor of the Espressohuis, as I installed 2 small sculpture pieces. The space overlooking the water has good coffee with deep and smooth flavor for us coffee hounds, but also lends its self-atmosphere for art to engage and expose good conversation, in a free environment outside the gallery or museum atmosphere. 

A big Thank you goes to John and Phyllis Borel, (Hudson Crossing Park Art Committee) and Pastor Jason Proctor.

Golden Retriever Wall Sculpture

Metal dog sculpture painted in copper fashion, with green translucent mountains in the background, was installed yesterday. Goldie the dog looks awesome in person and seems to lose a lot in the picture transition.   

Thank you Matt and Wanda.

Spring into art !

I am glad to say this spring has shaped up to be like no other. The collector parties (sales) and private invites to travel, show, teach and speak have been wonderfully exhilarating.

I wanted to extend my grate appreciation & thank everyone for sharing and making all the fun.

Life is supposed to be fun!
