New Show

Hope that everyone is enjoying the holiday season, having fun, catching up with family and friends.

Here are a few images about a group show that I am part of in a gallery in Chelsea in NYC... I am a member of NOHO Gallery and each member had work in this show and could also invite one other artist to put work in the show... I selected an abstract artist friend of mine... it is a cool show, much diversity... if you get a chance and are in the city, check it out!

The two photographs are my pieces in the show!

More seasonal beauty...

Light is such a captivating, elusive medium...

Artist from Paris...

Went into the city last night to see a four person show/reception at a very nice gallery in Chelsea... a good friend of ours from Paris was one of the four. She creates beautiful large collages out of torn paper, old posters found on the streets of Paris, etc... great to see Anne Kolin and her husband Arnold... very pleasant people... and we love her work! -- BL

Sometimes...

Yes... sometimes it's just great and satisfying to simply look at everyday things... -- BL

Room to a view...

While taking a break in my studio yesterday, I thought that I would take a few photographs inside and outside my studio to give you a peek at where I work... you'll see a group of cards which I just designed... completed works hanging on the walls... works in progress... and my view out to the 59th Street Bridge and NYC! I enjoy working on several different things at a time... I find that if I hit a visual roadblock... I can change to another media and get away from the problem for a bit and transition into a different mode of thinking... this process seems to work for me. -- BL

Can you find objects?

Having continued fun getting up close to objects... they almost become different entities... redefining themselves... -- BL

New experiments!

Enjoy a few more cool experimental photographs. -- BL

New Photographs!

Man... this camera is such a kick to use... just have to be VERY steady when doing close up shots... enjoy! -- BL

New work!

Here are several new pieces that I have completed... a couple new collages... paintings and photograph. Collages are extremely interesting to me because they are sometimes difficult to resolve, with so many competing elements, yet can produce exciting results.

Often I take a collage through many stages... slowly adding to a piece and living with the evolutions for a while... before adding more... it is quite a process of visual discrimination and editing of shapes, colors, tones, and ultimately the working final composition.

The one painting of the bicycle parts is now in a National Juried show in Stamford, Connecticut. -- BL

New images.....

Well, Fall is here... new palettes of colors abound... enjoy these new photographs... -- BL

All is new.

Wow! Everything just got very interesting! This new Pentax camera is so much fun with the microscope setting. Little... just got... huge. Enjoy these photographs. (The assemblage is a new art work entitled...."self portrait".) -- BL

This camera... kicks... I am also starting to use my new Casio camera a bit more... a LOT of bells and gadgets on that one! Check out these! Enjoy. -- BL
