St. Augustine, FL

St. Augustine is one of my favorite places to travel for a show. Vanessa & I pack the kids up for a great weekend and head down to Florida to enjoy some warm weather before the holidays.

I love that I can travel and work from anywhere – even the car! Jimmy and I share the back seat so I can stretch out and paint on the drive down.

Whenever we travel, Vanessa and I try to choose places that are a little outside the box . . . somewhere that will be great for entertaining, comfortable for the kids and more fun than a hotel.

For St. Augustine, staying on the boat was the perfect option – we enjoyed the laid back atmosphere of marina life and the kids had a blast exploring the boat.

Galeria del Mar hosted an amazing show, as always. Dinner was excellent and I enjoyed seeing my old friends and spending time with the Cutter family. My work looked great in the gallery and with special pours of Quintessa, Cakebread and Silver Oak, everyone was happy!

Maggie, Vanessa, Cathy & Merry had a great time getting dressed up for an evening of great art, wine & food.

What I really like about staying in the marina is the entertaining: after the gallery show, we invited some of our friends over to the boat to hang out and play some great music.

Mike and Ryan helped me entertain the crowd while Len and Rob surprised us all with a great rendition of “A Boy Named Sue”.

Vinings Gallery in Atlanta

I spend a lot of my year traveling so I look forward to the Vinings Gallery show here in Atlanta – it’s a treat to only have to travel down the road! I had a great time catching up with my local collectors and friends in my home town.

The Friday VIP collectors night is one of the best wine events of the year in Atlanta and most people don’t even know about it. Everyone brings a big bottle to share so you have all of these great wines – Hartwell, Diamond Creek, Caymus, Sineann – to taste and talk about. Gary opened a 6L of an older Silver Oak vintage that really got us going! It was a fun night and I’m already looking forward to next year.

Thanks to Gary & Cindy, Denard, Micky and everyone at Vinings Gallery for a great event! Here’s to 2008!
