wow - quite exciting, Afternoon Candy is off to Brooklyn for the summer. I can't wait to see the piece on the postcard below - "Lost Gained" by Christine LoFaso - you know how I love noodle boxes and fortune cookies! Might have to spend my prize money on some Art instead of Pie!

For Small Works 2013, Trestle presents the work of 33 artists from the United States and abroad. In keeping with Trestle Gallery's past Small Works exhibitions, all of the work on display is 12 x 12 x 12 inches or smaller. This limited scale allows visitors to have an intimate experience with the art before them and showcases how relatively small pieces can make a strong visual impact. Despite the unifying scale of each piece, the artwork is extremely varied across media and subject matter.

Art on the Avenue Bloomfield Avenue (I shall be between Gould and Brookside) Caldwell, NJ 07006 caldwellmerchants.com
I seem to remember a time when carrots where long and muddy and some of them had leaves too. And they were somehow more carroty than the carved perfection of these cute carrots poured from a plastic bag. Or am I just getting old?
The old fashioned carrots are less convenient though Oh and the chlorine leaching slime story that does the internet rounds now and again turns out to be an Urban Myth - see snopes.com for more than you ever wanted to know about the fascinating process of carrot whittling.
Now if they could just work out how to carve little faces and cute animals into the carrots wouldn't that be cool.
Question: Does the spelling Vittles (instead of Victuals) bug you? It is a legit spelling but it is an old one.
what will the holiday weather bring us tomorrow? Will it be a Backyard BBQ Burger Bliss : ) or a Miserable Soggie Frownie Burger : (

Warm Pears in Burgundy - still life oil painting | SOLD
Day off for you today. This one named itself as the pears slowly toasted under the hot studio light and filled the room with their delicious autumnal scent. Not at all the thing for a cool spring day!

blueberries still life oil painting 8x8" | SOLD
At LAST! the juicy new oil paintings are making their way out of the studio, onto the scanner and out into the wwworld. They are gradually making their way down to the basement for a coat of varnish, ready for framing for the summer art fairs.
I have about 20 new pieces to share with you over the next few weeks, and I might be needing just a wee bit of help with all those titles.
This little chap got a head start into a frame and out into the real world. Blueberry Rinse will be part of TEN, an exhibit to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of The South Orange, Maplewood Studio Tour. (psst - I'll be sneaking in as an honorary Maplewoodian again this year)
