Lemons

Here is a new image from Kate Worm, Coral Drape with Lemons 22 x 28 $2000. It is a great abstract still life, lots of movement and color. Kate will be part of next weeks show opening May 7th with Wayne Trapp. You can check out more of Kates work at City Art. Today I finished the poster for our upcoming show with the Heart Institute. I will post it as soon as we get approval from the hospital. Have a great day, Jeff

Some New Paintings on the Way!

While Peg was visiting her daughter and son inlaw over in Winston Salem this weekend for their 5 year anniversary, she met with Kate Worm and picked up some paintings for the May 7th show. The painting to the left is Women at a Bistro Table will be in the gallery on Monday along with some more figuretive pieces and abstract still lifes. Have a great weekend and enjoy the wonderful weather, Jeff

Friday

What a great day out side, excelent start to the weekend. Here is a new painting by Wayne Trapp that we are getting in for the upcoming Trapp and Worm show. It is a great piece and sure to be a wonderful show. Both Trapp and Worm will be demonstrating their figure painting techniques with a live model. Kate Worm at noon and Wayne Trapp at 7 during the opening. It is sure to be a great night. Have a fun weekend, Jeff

Oh goodness; the week is almost over! Where does time go? I had a very successful visit to DC last weekend. In addition to trying out three "new to me" restaurants (including the amazing Coco Sala...a must try!) the galleries and museums were incredible! The Morandi exhibition at the Phillips was fabulous. Who knew you could do so much with simple objects! I discovered the Burton Marinkovich gallery...a tiny little place, up a flight of stairs, but with a BIG banner outside luring you in. They feature primarily prints and drawings by modern and contemporary masters. I was able to see prints by Motherwell, Hockney, Kandinsky, Diebenkorn and Calder. It was great fun and the very knowledgeable owner was "tending shop" which made it quite an educational experience. Above is a painting by one of my favorite "modern masters" that we carry in our Gallery, Wayne Trapp. He will be featured in the Gallery 2 weeks, beginning Thursday May 7th, along with Kate Worm. More to come on that exhibition and opening.
Cheers!

Time to Fire up the wood Kiln!

Here is a work by Jeremy Fineman, a great ceramics artist at ECU. This is a ceramic vessell aprox. 9 in tall for $125. Tonight I will be helping fire a wood kiln with him, the kiln needs to be constantly maned for 5 days, so this involves shifts of 8 hours. So from 12midnight to 8am I will be feeding wood into the kiln. The constant fuel is what creates the unique finish to wood fired pieces. After the 5 days the kiln has to cool for a week, then we can show you a few pieces that were fired. Have a great weekend, Jeff

Spring Fling Continues

The Radish painting (12 by 12 ) by Jaquelin Perry is $325 , what a great price for such a well executed piece . Everett Seafood 6 by 8 is by Mike Rooney and is $125, another fabulous price. Both of these artists are being featured in our current exhibit known as Spring Fling. Those lucky people attending the opening on April 2 were treated to a painting demonstration by Perry and Rooney. The exhibit will continue through May 2. All of you late stragglers need to get in right away to see this great show. Torrey

Stephen White

Here is a new work by Shephen White, view more at City Art. Torrey picked up A Lady with a Lute when she went to visit Stephen at his studio in Carrboro on her way to see a collection of artists in Chapel Hill. Stephen has been showing at the gallery for many years and his work is always a hit. Have a great day, Jeff
