Iowa Bound

Back in April I painted 8 mid-size canvases of buildings and places

located in the city of St. Louis. The paintings were specifically

created for a show from Jun – Aug at East Central College

Gallery in Union, MO. After that show I wrapped them up

and promptly stored them on a canvas rack in my studio.

About a month or so later my friend from Iowa, Karl Haglund,

emailed asking about the paintings. Karl is a painter, well

known for his guitar paintings but he’s also a photographer

and has recently opened a new photography studio in his

home town of Charles City, IA. The studio will not only house

his printing/painting empire but also serve as a place for him

to focus on photography and as it so happens, it’s a great

place for art openings and that’s exactly what he’ll be having

on Friday Nov 6, featuring, yes, you guessed it, 8 mid-size

canvases of buildings and places located in the city of St. Louis,

painted by, me. The show is to help celebrate the grand opening

of his photography studio and I'm delighted to be a part of it.

In addition to the paintings there will also be a special musical guest

star, the phenomenal Chris Grabau (Magnolia Summer, Cave States)

will be on hand to perform live at the opening.
