A new Gallery is about to open at Gallery Row here in Oakhurst, Gallery 5. The new gallery is the effort of Jon Bock. This will be gallery number three for Jon, behind his thriving Williams Gallery West and Stellar galleries.

I was honored to be asked to mount the opening show at Gallery 5, a solo exhibition of my work, which will include equal amounts my representational and abstract works, the reasoning behind the show title, A Pair of Trowzers.

I’d like to take full credit for the title, but in the interest of full disclosure, it was originally coined by my friend, award winning photographer and fiber artist, Kerby Smith. Seeing my large paintings hanging in the trees, 11 years ago, during Sierra Art Trails 2006, Kerby asked if he could come by and photograph them the following day. The result was this photo of me bookending my work, which Kerby titled, A Pair of Trowzers.

The title was too perfect a fit not to ask Kerby if he’d mind my using it for the upcoming show.

A Pair of Trowzers will be up at Gallery 5, 40982 Hwy 41, Oakhurst, CA 93644 beginning this Saturday, February 18th and will run through March 26th, with an artist’s reception on Saturday, March 18th.

I hope you get a chance to stop by and see all I’ve been up to.
