Exhibition time again

Currently working on a large painting for an exhibition in Early October, I will update with dates and things closer to the time. I will also update the progress via the ‘paintbox’ page. Other than that nothing too exciting is going on, however a possible trip to the homeland is on the horizon for the end of August (hence the haste with the painting) and a new nephew. Also trying to update the website and make it faster, so if anything isn’t loading, it soon will (looking at you Galleries).

Summer

Teaching Yoga in the summer is kind of a new experience for me and a bit of a shock. A shock in the sense that as a teacher your classes dramatically drop off due to summer schedules/peoples holidays (even mine) and whatnots (hopefully not due to duff classes).
What is good about them though is you can really get to know students a lot better which is always a learning experience. I have so far been invited to a Buddhist chanting celebration and two Jazz evening this week and learned a heck of a lot more about Jersey city (the City I live in) this week than the whole 3 years I’ve lived here.
Also I have given some very dedicated students some much needed one-one time that they might not necessarily have the time/money to seek out. Which has been a joy for me also.

Anyway not really sure there is much to this post, but I wanted to add a little something, something to my site.

a beginning is a very delicate time

Yay the website is new and improved

Back to work, I am back to the painting, I have an exhibition (group one mind, with ‘Pro-Arts’ here in Jersey City. I have been on a bit of a sabbatical with the old painting recently (last completing a painting in March). I have dedicated my time mostly to CD covers, a music festival and Yoga teaching. Since March I have been teaching with NYSC and Kneaded Bodywork's in NYC and soon to be ‘Steven's Institute of Technology’. Maria played saxophone and sung in Natchez Mississippi and David’s CD cover is going down a storm. So yes finally back to the paintings with an exhibition burning my ass in the direction of hard work.
Will update as soon as I have anything new.

Ode to a cold

I have had a really bad, drawn-out, painful, tiring, draining and end of the world educing cold all week and haven’t been able to do ANYthing. So I tinkled around with the piano and wrote a little piece called ‘Ode to a Cold’ the recording isn’t great and if you listen closely you can here me sniffing (no kidding) and for some reason I just can't play consistently with it's being recorded. So yeah this is probably the first piece of music I have ever written so any critic would be welcome, you may crush my soul, but it will be a welcome crushing.

Love
