Hello all.
Painting Is Dead Gallery is nearly ready for its grand opening. We have spent most every warm winter and spring day cleaning the derelict building out, doing our best to kept as much of the original patina and character in tact. My father has spent many days up at the farm bending conduit and running all the wiring for the granary/gallery. My cousin Jim has graciously driven up from Jeffersonville Indiana to install a heat pump for climate control. A group of dudes helped us move in the 1930's back bar I got at an auction years ago. So we are going to have an opening on August 23 and 24th. We will have new and old works up for viewing. Stuff from our own personal collections and the newest things we are working on. Work for sale and work not for sale. Friends are making a keg of beer, and the garden will be in full force(despite all the stupid rain) ready to feed us. All are welcome to attend.
Friday Aug 23 2PM until dark
Saturday Aug 24 11AM until dark
If interested please contact me: heavyweather1977@gmail.com and I will give you the address.
Also... I know I have said I am not doing this full time anymore before, and I know people are rolling their eyes when they read this but we will NOT be doing a full schedule next year. Last year life was crazy and I didn't have the mental energy to reinvent myself, so I wanted one more year full time. All winter I have very focused and determined. This spring and summer has been going wonderfully. Katie and I are probably on pace to have our best year to date. It has been an absolute blast, mostly, and we are both very very thankful. But I just am tired of scrambling, and want to do other things. I will still keep painting, just not showing as much and the gallery should help us get off the road a little bit. So this is my remaining schedule unless I run out of work, which is a possibility.
