As we enter the new year, my thoughts turn to the past year and what will be forthcoming. 2019 brought a lot of personal growth but my family and I also experienced loss of friends and relatives which bring with it a recognition of our mortality. So, I had decided to try and make a book including my artwork produced in 2019 accompanied by some of my personal writing and descriptions. Not quite sure how this will get done as the challenge is to bring together the writing more than the images. That said, I think this is a decent idea in that it will help my children and grandchildren and future generations know a little about me, Joy, and our family. I will keep you posted.
I am very pleased and proud to be exhibiting in the new exhibiting Member Show having been admitted in the last year as an Exhibiting Artist Member of the Providence Art Club. Currently I am working on some socially conscious painting primarily having to do with human destruction and forced migration. There will be a very short pop up show entitled “Art Speaks Out” February 1st and 2nd at the PAC Mill Gallery, 560 Mineral Spring Ave. Pawtucket, RI. Please contact them for details. I hope to have at least one work in this show emphasizing the migration theme. I also intend to include a different migration series painting in the upcoming Providence Art Club Winter Members show this February.
Please feel free to contact me at any time if you want to chat about my work, or things in general. I wish you all a happy and healthy 2020.
Best Regards,
Charlie
