Installing the show


 With my dad who flew in from KC for the opening










 
Me with Sliverstar


a couple of kinetic sculptures by Diane Landry
were installed in the office. A lovely transformation
of plastic bottles into something ecstatic and sublime
 


A view of John Torreano's concurrent solo show Dark Matters Everywhere


John's video of an art history stand-up comedy performance

a couple views of Cincinnati - very scenic with lot's of 
brick buildings surrounded by hills and the Ohio river


looks like Germany
 
 

art deco building ornament downtown



the Roebling bridge over the Ohio river - a precursor to the Brooklyn Bridge



Looking over the river to Kentucky - next time I want to check out the Bourbon Trail


John Torreano and Michael Solway at Scotti's restaurant
one of the oldest in the area with a great atmosphere
 



a recently renovated building in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood


 At Tucker's - Thomas had to try Goetta which sounds German, 
but is a Cincinnati invention combining oats and pork into a breakfast delight
I had shrimp and grits


A gallery in Over-the-Rhine called "We are all Vikings"
 

one of many beautiful brick buildings in the OTR
 

I wanted to try this tiny new restaurant Abigail Street
but never got a chance - next time!

Forms of Abstraction


Here's a few photos from a group show I am in at 
Irvine Fine Arts Center curated by Carl Berg. 
There are 21 artists in the show!
I just photographed a few things.
The show will be on view through Feb. 23
Cheers to Carl for his thoughtful curation.
The show looks great and I am thrilled to have been included.



A lovely monochrome by Carolee Toon. The photo does not do it justice!
