New Brow IV at the Alternative Cafe gallery, with David Van Gough

Packaged and shipped the three pieces for the New Brow IV show in Monterrey this week, which knocked me back over a hundred nicker.

It'll be worth it though, with such luminaries as Chris Mars, Eric Joyner, Buddy Nestor et al, my work shall be in amongst some stellar company.

No fear of this one being publicized then, I even saw my name taking equal space on an ad in Juxtapoz.
Sadly, the logistics of making the nine hour trek there this time around, mean we are unable to attend.
Sorry we are bummed about it too.

Still, anyone in the vicinity that night will still be in for an evening of grand guignol.

Let the work speak for itself.

Show opens May 13th, 6pm to 12pm at The Alternative Cafe gallery.

Osmosis-new painting by David Van Gough

'Osmosis'
Oil on Canvas24" x 36"

I couldn't tell you who said a painting is never finished, merely abandoned.

Certainly I could have tinkered with this piece for weeks. In the end, that old warhorse of time was my enemy, but having labored four twelve hour days in a row, the end result can hardly said to be rushed, or hopefully any the less for having stepped away now.

I think its a vast improvement on my original drawing at any rate.

It shall be one of three pieces I am showing on May 13th at Alternative Cafe for the New Brow IV show.
