Mural for Norhteastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic Hanover Street , Wilkes Barre, Pa When I ring the Singing Bowl my aunt and uncle gave me, I realize the power of that sound. Somehow the sound permeates the walls and joins another vibe in the universe which grounds me to the present moment. I recently did this mural for the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic. The image reminds me of the crossing of the senses which often is heightened through and by art.
Today YesterdayAfter and Before..... Market Street Murals for Allstate and A Shoe Boutique by Arch Comfort......Last week was a perfect week to be painting the murals on Market Street Kingston, Pa.The idea started when Ivan and Cheri of 'Shoe Boutique' wanted to put their shop on the map. They have great shoes- what makes them 'great' is they are comfortable and cool. Now when people are driving by - they will take note of two businesses that were otherwise fading into the background. Like my dad always said " it's amazing what a little paint can do..... !"
I'm excited to deliver the four Eiffel Towers at the end of August ... and sample some authentic french food!
Mary Therese of the Times Leader newspaper wrote a super article giving the flavor of the Moldova experience I had with fellow artist Sharon Bowar.
Last night was the final exhibition of Arts Alive which took place at the Scranton Cultural Center. Earl Lehman and I had a great group of high school painters from various Lackawanna schools. I think they were quite impressed with the paintings they did which made a bold statement hung in a pentagon shaped tower. I know we were proud of them - and glad we got to know them......
I am painting with two artists from Romania- one from Moldova - and twenty from Turkey. We are being sponsored by Summa company and by Pittson, PA based Linde International, Inc. The images are of us painting in a mall - Mall Dova - in Moldova. We each have a big canvas to create whatever we want which will be sold to help a local art school.Yesterday Aylin from Turkey remarked that people looked like their paintings – and she's right!
