 April 22, 2019 Earth Day is every day.
Dear Subscriber, As ever, I appreciate your subscribing to my newsletter - thank you. Below are a few timely items, coincidentally all related to the Earth, mostly because I have rarely been elsewhere.
1. Opening this weekend (April 27) at its third and final venue, my solo exhibition of paintings from the Mississippi River, America's River Re-Explored, will be on display for three months at the Dubuque Museum of Art. [link] The reception is near the mid-point of its run, on Friday, June 7, 5-8 pm, and I will give an informal gallery talk the next day, Saturday, June 8, at 1pm. The exhibition continues through July 28. Click here for lots more information (images, videos, catalogues) Let me know if you are interested in these works. 2. My exhibition at the Dubuque Museum of Art was the focus of an article in the April edition of American Art Collector, "Life on the Mississippi" by Rochelle Belsito. You can read the article as a PDF linked here.
Kolbert starts her article the same way I finished my exploration of the river: taking off in a chartered plane from New Orleans Lakefront Airport, to see what is to be seen of the delta, a hundred miles south. My jaw dropped when I saw what she also describes seeing – vast areas of land sinking below the Gulf waters – and I painted it in Palimpsest, shown above.
