Swallow Sonata for the Open Studios Group Show

Thursday I dropped off my new painting, Swallow Sonata, at the Canyon Gallery in the Boulder Public Library.

I’ve had a 26” round table top sitting around the studio for years and I finally tackled it for my 2016 submission.  At first, I was a little timid about painting a “rondo” as they called those round paintings in the Renaissance.  I felt the round composition might need some circling subjects and, eventually, these swallows swirling toward Long’s Peak helped pull it all together.

The preview show will run from Sept. 9 through October 9.  The reception will be Friday, Sept 30 from 6 to 8 pm.
