An old painting

This painting dates back to 1978 and has been selected by a new Gallery in San Severino as part of a group exhibition entitled  'Tender is the night'.
It was spotted at an Art Party we held a few weeks back; I had it propped up against a wall in the garden and I hadn't given it any thought for years, although Lili has always liked it.

This is the exhibition which opens July 27

Death Valley

It was unusually cool there, not the 100F they expect. Reason being the West was hit by a major storm which blew us out of California and across Nevada and dumped a metre of snow onto us wherever we stopped to rest.
Here is an image of Death Valley, one of eight I exhibited in the Marmaris show

Great times with Jack and Judy and Mimi and of course Liliana

Our show in Marmaris, Turkey

Colin Tracy, Steve Bray (the author of Photography and Zen) and I, shared an exhibition in Marmaris, Turkey. It was great to be fussed over and welcomed in such a heart felt way and we wish we could have stayed longer. The gallery is superb as you can see and I think it was the nicest opening I've ever experienced. In fact it was.

Stephen and Irem the most perfect hosts and the Turkish guests so sincere and charming.
I have this idea of buying a boat and living there ;O)
You can see us on TV tonight (Wed) at 630pm UK time

Concerto in Civitanova Alta, la pianista Lorenzo di bella, music Rachmaninov

Our paintings from the exhibition Isola dei Morti were projected onto a huge screen behind the pianist.
Here is mine, looks ominous on that scale, which I think is nice.
                                                                

The Island of the Dead

This is a painting I have contributed to an Exhibition which opens at the PerMariMonti Gallery next weekend. And this is the text which goes with the painting in the catalogue..

'Ogniuno di noi ha la sua isola dei morti.

E un luogo freddo e abbandonato senza alcun significato,
che non si preoccupa ne del nostro arrivo, ne se rimaniamo li

per l'eternita, o se ce ne andiamo verso ad una vita nuova.

Meglio non indugiare troppo e stare li a lungo.

La cosa migliore?

Navigarla e oltrepassarla'

Each of us has their own Island of the Dead.
A cold and abandoned place with no meaning
and which cares not if we arrive, stay for eternity
or leave to live anew.
It's best not to stay too long there.

And best of all
To sail past the island.

The show is a tribute to the Swiss artist Bockiln and his series of paintings
on this theme

My Exhibition

It's called 'Omaggio alla Sibilla', 'Homage to the Sibilla' and is about my years spent 'neath her watchful gaze. Was up there on Midsummer's night with friends and we climbed her mountains to her cave. A stunning experience

It opens July 6 at the Per Mari e Monti Gallery in Civitanova, vialle Vittorio Veneto 59, just a short walk from the Piazza xxx Settembre.
I'm exhibiting a bunch from this series
