Tailgate Party Tour, art party in my trunk

Here’s how it works:

I come to your home, office or venue and show my newest paintings and prints. I bring a basket with baguette, cheese and a pear and something sparkly to drink.

New paintings are now available to anyone at tailgate prices through November 3. Some paintings are orphans from previous series along with hidden favorites stolen from the archives. Prints start at $22, oil paintings start at $100.

The catch is:

You let me give my thirty-minute spiel on watershed awareness and I try to turn you on to loving northwest light and the benefits of noticing the changes of the day. If you do not live within driving distance, order a painting or commission a piece of your own. I accept paypal.

My goal is to:

Remind you about your right to “pause”. Also, I’m interested in the surprise of healthy water and what you can do to honor something we all agree on. It’s my thing to look at what’s right with the system and celebrate the ones who made it that way. I think it is by seeing the process of healing that we become motivated to become a part of the solution. Otherwise, it’s all just hopeless. Instead of whining about the problem, I’m trying to focus on the solution.

I’m not an expert, but I know how to talk about the rhythm of water and light, the poetic importance of respecting its flow and how to care about the water in your own neighborhood. I’ll do this if I meet one on one in a parking lot or in your home with twenty of your friends and family.
