AVAA Show-Bucking the Texas Myth

Greetings!

I'm very excited to announce that I'll have two paintings in the upcoming AVAA show, "Bucking the Texas Myth." The first painting is one I posted last month and renamed "Wide Urban Spaces 2." The second is also an urban scene. I'll post an image of it tomorrow.

The show will be held at the Austin Art Space at 7739 Northcross Dr. here in Austin. The opening reception is this Saturday, August 13th from 6:30 to 8:30. If you're in town, please do come by and say hello.

El Mercado at Sunrise

I love painting urban scenes of my favorite city, Austin, TX. Especially at those quiet times of the day like very early in the morning. Today's posting is one I did this past Spring. It's the back of El Mercado Restaurant on 17th and Guadalupe. Catching the early morning light in combination with the street lighting really intrigued me.

Paris Cafe

I did painted this Parisian street scene over the summer. I love Paris and if I can't be there, I'll create paintings of that wonderful city. This cafe is actually the one featured in the movie "Amelie," the one she worked at.
