The Art Gallery in historic
downtown Willoughby, Ohio, is offering a large collection of my
prints. We have added new images on the walls and in the print
racks. They include 11”x14” and 18”x24” matted prints and
framed prints from 11”x14” to 30”x40”. You can also order custom sizes and nearly any other image on
this website at the Art Gallery with no special order charges. This
includes bare prints for your own custom matting and framing. The
Art Gallery offers competitive prices on a huge variety of custom
matting and framing along with countless other fine art items ranging from
sculpture to paintings to jewelry and more. Stop in and check out
all of the great artwork. The Art Gallery is located a few doors
down from the Arabica coffee shop at 4134 Erie Street.

Art by the
Falls 2012
will be held on on June
9 and 10. This has always been a great show in a great location. The Valley Art Center staff
works hard behind the scenes every year to make Art by the Falls a
success for everyone. I hope you'll put this event in your weekend
plans. MAP |

The West Woods
Nature Arts Festival
will be
held on August
4 and 5. I will be the show's featured artist this year, and there
will be a raffle for one of my framed prints. This is a unique show
because all of the artwork is nature oriented and the show proceeds
help further nature education and conservation in the Geauga County
park system. I hope you’ll plan to attend.

| The 33rd annual
East Shore Invitational Art Show
will be held on November 10 and 11 in Kirtland, Ohio. This "must see" show is among the first shows
of the Holiday season. Unlike most of the others it features fine
art, not just Christmas oriented crafts. If you're looking for gallery
quality art in all media and price ranges, this is a show you
shouldn't miss. It's really that good, and I'm happy to be a
part of it. MAP |

The 32nd
East Shore Invitational Art Show on November 12 and 13 was

year. |

Our first time ever at
The West Woods
Nature Arts Festival couldn't have been better. I was honored to
receive the 2011 "best of show" award, and I'll return in 2012 as
the festival's featured artist. This is a unique show because all of
the artwork is nature oriented and the show proceeds help further
nature education and conservation in the Geauga County park system.
I hope you’ll plan to attend next August. |

We spent July 16, the day of the Willoughby ArtsFest at the Art Gallery.
We had a good time, and the day was topped off by meeting an old
high school friend I hadn't seen in about 40 years. For those in the
area who might not know, the Art Gallery is on Erie Street, right
in the middle of historic downtown Willoughby, Ohio. They have lots
of unique things, from painting to sculpture to clothing, to
photography. Check it out sometime! |

We had warm
days and blue skies for the Cain Park Arts
Festival in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, this year. We met some
wonderful people among the other artists and show attendees, in
addition to seeing a few old friends. With about 150 artists from
around the world there was some amazing art at the show, and as
always the Cain Park staff made the show a joy to participate in.

The Waterloo 7
Gallery in Willoughby Hills, Ohio, hosted a great indoor and outdoor
art show on Sunday June 26. As always, there were numerous works in
the gallery, including a few of mine, and artist's displaying their
work in tents outside the gallery. It was a nice sunny day (for a
change) and everyone had a great time. |

Art by the
Falls 2011 on June 11 and 12 turned out great in spite of
threatening weather that ranged from sweltering on Saturday to cold
and breezy on Sunday. The Valley Art Center staff, who work their
tails off behind the scenes every year, make Art by the Falls a
success for everyone. Given the quality of all the the paintings,
drawings, prints, and photographs displayed by artists from across
the United States, I was very happy to receive the third place award
for 2-dimensional art this year. My wife, Lee, deserves credit for
her perfectionist-level archival mounting and matting of all the
photographs. No one notices a great matting job but everybody
notices a bad one. She also takes care of all the "business stuff"
that makes everything happen. |

A large
exhibition of my images titled "Photographs from American Parklands"
ran for the month of May 2011 at the Cleveland Metroparks North
Chagrin Nature Center. We got a lots of great comments, people
seemed to enjoy it, and some learned a little about the diversity of
America's remaining natural landscape and its wildlife. That was the
point of doing the exhibit, so I think it was a success. My thanks
to the Cleveland Metroparks and everyone who works at the North
Chagrin Nature Center for hosting this. |
