I forgot to mention that a catalog will be available through the gallery for $20.

You can place an order now, but they probably won't be sending them until January.

Alex,

I so wish I could be there! I'll definitely be ordering the catalog...

Congratulations!

Congratulations,Alex. hope you get lots of sales

I just love your landscapes, Alexandra. I saw the ones at Dowling Walsh this summer and was very impressed. I definitely plan to get the catalog of this show. How did you get your aerial views? Were you in an airplane? Reminds me of Eric Hopkins but I like your atmospheric approach.

David, Julie, and Mary,

Thank you all!

It would be nice if traveling to each other's shows were as easy as talking online. Mary, I didn't realize you had seen my work at Dowling Walsh. I think it's a great-looking space and in a good location right across from the Farnsworth. How long does it take you to get to Rockland?

I fly with Sandy Reynolds, the pilot who runs Maine Scenic Airways, out of Belfast Airport. Coincidentally, he also flies Eric Hopkins around for photo shoots.

Alexandra I posted something last summer about my trip to Dowling Walsh. I guess you didn't see it. It is an elegant space to be sure. From where I live it takes me about 2 1/2 hours to get to Rockland.

Mary, now that you say it I think I do remember you saying something. My bad memory has gotten me into lots of embarrassing situations.

Exciting news, Alexandra! Wish you all the best in the show. Your work looks like it would have lots of success always.
Wish I could go personally to see the show.

Congratulations!

Thank you, Carlos! Wish you could be there, too.

Good luck in New York, Alex !

Your landscapes are wonderful, they show that you look for the personality of the motif, the individuality.

That's what I look for, Allan, so I'm glad to know it comes through in the paintings. Thank you!

I wish I could be there, too, Alex! Your landscapes are incredible. (How do you manage to produce so many terrific paintings... !) I wish you many sales and a great turnout at the gallery.

This looks like it will be an excellent exhibition, Alex. I wish you the best of success - you really deserve it!

Congratulations indeed!

Thanks, Linda and Thomasin! With the economy the way it is, who knows about sales, but I'm hoping for the best. Wish you two could be there.

Three to Watch
 

I wanted to let you all know that my landscapes, and this show, are mentioned in the Jan-Feb issue of Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine. The artlcle is:

"Three to Watch: Artists Making Their Mark" on pp. 33-35. (I'm on p.34.)

The text is by SOG Forum member Nancy Bea Miller, who is also a fine writer!

Yay! Where does one find this magazine?

Well, that can be a problem, Julie! I have never been able to find one at our local Borders, but I think I have seen it at Barnes and Noble. Every area is different, though.

I went to their site to see if I could find a link to the article online, but the new issue is not up yet. As soon as it is, I'll post a link.

I'm so happy for you, congratulations.

Thank you, Patty!

BTW, Barnes and Noble definitely carries Fine Art Connoisseur magazine. I'll let you know as soon as the Jan.Feb issue is out.

You continue to inspire me and to knock my socks off with the breadth and depth of your abilities as a painter! Congratualtions!

Congratulations on your solo show!
 

Hi Alex, congratulations on your upcoming solo show. I've always known that solo shows represent an artist's arduous journey towards building her collection and thoughts about her work and inspiration, and indeed having one is a milestone set in your illustrious career journey.

I'm sorry that i cannot be there, but always look forward to seeing your next challenges. My heart and support will be there for you on the opening night!

Your friend from Singapore

Chris, your appreciation means so much! I hardly know what to say in response. I've learned so much from you, and other consummate artists, since joining the forum, about everything from color and technique to marketing and good business sense. So if I knock your socks off, you had a hand (foot?) in it.

Thank you, Marcus! Your words of support are very welcome, and I know you understand first-hand the artist's journey. Singapore is a long way from New York, but the distance is easy to forget when we are online here.

Jeez Louise, that's a beautiful painting. Wonderful color.

You go the extra mile to get a point of view that's beyond the norm, and it really makes for interesting land and cityscapes.

Best--TE

Thank you, Tom! :) Your appreciation means a lot!

The Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine website doesn't seem to have links to the articles--well, of course! Then why would you buy the magazine?--so I'm linking to my blog, where you can click on the image and get an enlarged version which should be readable. Here's the link:

Opening Reception
 

Here are some photos from the reception.

1) That's me with my husband Steve.
2) Here I am with my sister, Sue Ann Kahn (a musician).
3)You can see there were some paintings I had forgotten to sign. Those last-minute details! My friend Diana Ansley (an artist) is watching.

Here are a few more. . . .

1) My sister talking with some friends. That's Wolf Kahn (no relation) with his back to the camera.

2) Deep in conversation (L to R): Peter Trippi, editor of Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine, Brad Marshall, another Fischbach artist, and Nancy Bea Miller, artist and SOG forum member, who also wrote the text for the article on my landscapes in FAC magazine.

Alex,
this looks like a nice clean place to exhibit.

Your out of door paintings rule the wall and show us why we have to take care of this our only planet, it's beautiful !!!

The larger views seems to incorporate the roundness of it, reminding us how fragile this limited place is.

Congratulations and good luck :thumbsup:

Thank you, Allan. You are so right about our fragile planet. It is so vast, yet small. I think the reason I like painting aerial views is that, from up in the air, I see how land and sea are interconnected, and how much beauty there is when the human presence is kept in balance with nature.

The Fischbach Gallery has a great space with a view of the East River. A very nice place to have a show.
