December Already

This has been a heck of a year - we just had the anniversary of the Thomas Fire, and California has suffered through way too many destructive fire's since then.
I've had a full year of exhibitions with the Rose Compass and "The River's Journey", SCAPE as well as the two-person show of plein-air paintings that Libby and I had at the Architectural Foundation.
The River's "Wider View" just closed at Sullivan Goss and we will be opening the last venue for the Rose Compass at the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art on January 10, 2019. I'll post the images that are in that show when we finish the installation. That exhibit will run until June 22, 2019.
The installation at the Santa Barbara City Hall will continue to be on view until March 30, 2019.
The energetic and always fun "100 Grand" show opened at Sullivan Goss on December's First Thursday. This is the painting I'm showing there:


green pool, gouache, 3"x3"


I'm also showing a painting at the Santa Paula Art Museum's 11th annual "Art about Ag" show. The exhibition runs from November 10 until February 24, 2019. There will be an artist's talk with many of the participating artists on the 15th of this month.

Then there is another exhibit coming up that should be a great representation of images of our State: a California Art Club exhibition at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History "Magnificent Migrations: A Journey Through Central California"
I'll be showing a painting I did of Pinnacles National Park:


pinnacles path, oil on panel 16"x20"


This exhibit will open on January 18, 2019 and run through April 14, 2019. 
It's an exciting start to the new year.
