Fort Worth Fall Gallery Night 2012

Paula Kornye Tillman and Kelli Cotten have worked hard to put together a great show for Gallery Night at Galerie Kornye West.  Gallery artists have been asked to provide a couple of new paintings and Paula has invited seven artists from around the country to exhibit their work as guests for this show.  Here's a map of all the venues that will be participating in this popular event from 2:00 to 9:00 tomorrow, September 8.  See you there!

Duet

"Duet"   36" x 24"   Oil

Here's my completed painting of Carolyn Judson and Lucas Priolo, performing a duet in "Love Always Remains".  On Gallery Night I had fun hanging out with some of the Texas Ballet Theater dancers - including the lovely subject of this painting.

Dancers

I'm currently working on a couple of paintings of Texas Ballet Theater dancers.  The larger painting is just about finished and I've started the smaller one that I also hope to complete in time to display on Saturday for Gallery Night.

Finished!

"Evening Light on Bass Hall"   36" x 27"   Oil

I finally finished my Bass Hall painting!  Although my "A Year in Fort Worth" show will be on Spring Gallery Night 2012, this painting will be on display at Galerie Kornye West during the upcoming Fall Gallery Night, September 10th, 2011 -- a preview of things to come.  

And here's where it started, a few thousand brushstrokes ago.

Ballet Duet In Progress

On Fall Gallery Night, some of the dancers with Texas Ballet Theater (including Allysin Hsieh, the lovely subject of my painting below) will be across the street from Galerie Kornye West at Winslow's Wine Cafe.  They will be in costume promoting the Ballet and their school, as well as selling tickets for their upcoming performances.

I will be showing a couple of my ballet paintings at Winslow's, including the one above that I just started (the pressure is on to finish it!).  I'll be doing "double duty", spending time at both the gallery and the cafe.  Hopefully I'll see some of you at one location or the other!
