One performance down, one to go. I wanted to share the image from our Google Chat just to remind us of just how far we have come since November! The crazy winter weather had us meeting remotely at times, and yet somehow it all came together. Last night was SO FUN!!! We had a terrific turn out, and it was fantastic to see the work from Arches and TBD! With sincere gratitude to everyone,…

The Reading: More Choreography

These paintings are preliminary works. Oil on paper. They are a response to a collaboration I am doing with dancers and other artists. To learn more about this project, read up on our blog: Intersections: Inspiring Influences.

One of their books began to come apart at the seams, so I decided we needed some reading paintings. Ella is usually a gray cat (not orange), but D-Jay is true to life. We love our furry friends!

While the kids were away, I had a nice long stretch of time in the studio. More to come…
"Impasse" 24"x30" oil on canvas. This is a reading painting from my tarot project. I’ll be talking about this work at Studio Hop in Providence, June 18. I’m scheduled to do a gallery talk there for Third Thursdays, in conjunction with Providence’s Gallery Night.
"Cabins" 24 x 24 Oil on Canvas was done for Camp Nellie Huckins in Freedom NH on Lake Ossipee. Huckins is a girls summer camp that is part of the YMCA system. Alice and Lucy go every summer for two weeks. This painting will be shown all summer long on change days and will be raffled off to raise money for the camp. Also, on an ongoing basis, I will be donating 10% all of the sales from any of the other Huckins Paintings on the Rufo Art website http://www.rufoart.net/john/. Enjoy and have a fabulous summer everyone!
"Sagamore Bridge" 12"x12" mixed media on canvas. Memorial Day making me think about heading over the bridge to the Cape. Few things change my state of mind more than a trip across that bridge!
"Will Love Prevail?" 30"x40" oil on canvas. This will be with me in Providence on Gallery Night, June 18.
