has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.
"The Upper Pasture", 2015, acrylic on canvas (gallery wrap), 20 inches wide by 16 tall (50 x 40 cm).
A lone figure walks a familiar path up toward sunlit fields and woods. Overhead hot, turbulent clouds build toward sunset, and along the path the late-summer weeds and grass turn yellow in the hazy afternoon light.
This painting is built on recollections of my childhood in rural Alabama during the mid-1960s.
The painting is on triple-primed cotton duck canvas, stretched on standard 3/4" depth stretcher bars, framed in a wood “floater” frame, ready to hang; it is signed and dated both front and back, with title on back.

"The Burden of Our Names", 2015, acrylic on canvas, 16 x 20 inches (40 x 50 cm).
The child seems calm and unharmed, yet he is voiceless and alone, standing outside the home, excluded from the room we barely glimpse through the window behind him. What is the narrative, the story that he cannot tell?
