Today I hung 19 paintings at the Red Mug in Superior, WI. Each diptych and triptych is one piece, so it’s actually 23 canvases. Reception this Saturday from 5-8 pm.

Pictured: Dream Diptych, Hoop Cave Triptych

Everyone keeps talking about these being the final days of summer. That, of course, means only one thing. The Donut Shop will be closing in Grand Marais. For the better part of 20 summers, a certain booth in the Donut Shop has been displaying photos of the Young Family on a vacation out west with their Donut Shop cups. The Badlands, Thermopolis Wyoming, the capital building in Pierre. The donut shop will close on Madeline’s birthday this year, and we’ll make it through the winter with the help of my new deep fryer.

I’ll be hosting shows on WTIP from 7-10 pm Central time on September 6 and September 13, 2007. You can tune in online at www.wtip.org.

I had originally named this for the Giant Anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) that seemed to wander right into the middle of the painting, but then Madeline pointed out the birds.

I had posted this painting earlier, but now it’s framed, and I’ll take it to the Red Mug.

This painting was inspired by one of the two Thai masks I bought at the local budget shop.
