Final Painting for the Upcoming Show: Waiting Forever

Sometimes, we’ve been spurned. Or, we’re stuck in an existential funk as in Bunuel’s film “No Exit”.  Why do we feel that we have to stay for the ending?

My show of studio work is coming up on April 4th.  I will also be showing a few of the coffee house paintings. If you are interested in coming to the show (Katie Pipkin will be there, too!), click on my rep’s link here:

    I wish you the very, very best in this show. Another beautiful painting. The mood, and in some ways the subject, put me in mind of an Edward Hopper -not a specific painting of his but the general feeling evoked.

      Hi, Owen.

      Sorry that I have been out of touch. Good to see you over here again. I’ll be able to come up for air, soon.

    Hi, Mohsen!

    Did you complete your thesis work for your MFA? Please let me know. Yes, I wish that you could be here, also. It is going to be very fun – a lot of people will be there, from all walks of life. I know a lot of people, since I paint in so many different coffee houses.

    “I Painted Geneva in the Bruising Sun” is my very favorite. I think that I have hit my stride in that painting.

    Yes, we will have to get you some photos!

    Take care, Oh! and I finally caught on to the butterfly that you made in one of your post out of key strokes! Isn’t my name, Lavanna, “butterfly” in either Farsi, or Arabic?

      Thank you,
