Pictures From Karen's Show...

This versatile display wall was created by hammering chains from floor to ceiling. Would you believe the huge paintings on the top row are only $300 a pop?

Karen Casey at Bike Hounds

Ontario artist, Karen Casey, is having her opening at Bike Hounds tonight. Her stuff will be on display at 6 Cannon until the second week of January, but if you come see them tonight you will also enjoy the musical stylings of Terra Lightfoot and the bakery stylings of myself and Karen's mom (peanut butter balls what?).
Her large scale paintings are fantastic--warm, bright and energetic. Many of them were influenced by her extensive travels throughout Spain and Mexico. Some examples below...

GritLIT

A few of my Hamilton paintings are going to be used to promote Hamilton's GritLIT Festival this year. This spring (2009) marks the fifth year for the local literary festival and I'm quite psyched to be featured on their posters and programmes. Keep checking the GritLIT website for information about visiting and local authors and events.

More My Dog Joe

My Dog Joe

Tonight (Monday, November 10) I'm hanging eleven paintings at My Dog Joe -an excellent coffee shop in Westdale. Some of them are oldies, some of them are newbies, four of them are fresh off the brush and will dry in the car as I drive them over. Prices range from $50 (for a little roofline) to $600 (for your very own larger-than-life-sized Dan Griffin). Come eat grilled sandwiches and stare at them!

New Shows

I'm going to have work in a few different places this winter, including...
- A group of eight paintings, ranging in size from 4x4 to 60x30, will hang at Westdale's My Dog Joe for the month of November.
- The Home Recording painting I just finished will be part of the Winter Salon exhibition at Loose Canon this December and January.
- Mex-I-Can will be on display during the December members' show at Hamilton Artists' Inc.
Get out on the town and see some art!
