Current and Upcoming Exhibitions

2014 has shaped up to be a busy year for showing my art.

I just delivered six paintings to the Redwood Foyer Gallery of the Marin Veterans' Auditorium for an invitational watercolor show that will be up until early June. So if you are attending an event there, be sure to check out the show during intermission.

I've been invited to be part of Marinscapes in late June. This established annual Marin landscape show raises funds for Buckelew Housing. It is always well attended and garners lots of sales. Hopefully with the economy recovering, that will be even more true this year, as it is an excellent cause.

Then in November-December, I will be in a three-person show at Falkirk Cultural Center in San Rafael, titled 'Three Different Views of Water: Paintings by Nelson Hee, Will Noble and Mary Wagstaff.' The gallery is divided into three rooms and each artist will have a room. The reception will be like visiting three artists' studios.

Completion, acceptance & small works

I recently finished work on the large pencil drawing titled Peggy's Pond, perhaps the most detailed piece I have ever done. The drawing alone took a year. It was just accepted in the Artworks Downtown Drawing show juried by Donna Seager and Suzanne Gray McSweeney of SeagerGray Gallery. The show will be up from May 24 to July 5. Public reception will be June 14, 5 – 8pm. I don't have a photo of this drawing either here on the blog or on my site yet, but I hope you will come to the show to see it!

Before I get involved in another large project, I am enjoying working in my sketchbook, doing small pencil, ink and watercolor works. Below is one of them, a view from Kehoe Beach in the Point Reyes National Seashore.

With an image size of 9" x 13" I was able to draw and paint it in a number of days, not months. This frees me to transition to other images and experiment with techniques.
