For the next couple months, ten of the still lifes - including the pair of unmentionable meats, the new pork chop and drum stick - will be on view at Susan Maasch Fine Art in Portland, Maine. They are being shown in conjunction with a much bigger exhibition of work by William Bailey and Walter Horak. Bailey's work can be found in collections ranging from the MOMA to the Smithsonian. This is, for me, a big deal. The show opens tonight but, alas, I will not be able to attend.

I am especially excited that my paintings will be shown alongside the still lifes of my old friend, Shawn Kenney. He and I have known each other for nearly 19 years having met the first days of college. 19 years. -gulp-. I'm now balding and he's now fatting (ok, me too). While there are some strong distinctions in how we paint (he being the man of light and air, I being the guy that can't have enough chewy form), we share many of the same ideals, heroes and aspirations. I am honored to be sharing a wall with him.*
*Even if he does ride a Harley.
