Gallery Newsletter #1

Porta Gallery Newsletter View this email in your browser Welcome to My Gallery Newsletter! I'm giving away a few original paintings, a handful of books, and some prints, so skip to the bottom to find out where. Books are the story of the day. My first novel has been out for six months now. I'm giving it away for free on kindle to promote the sequel which should be out early 2016. There's also book of poetry called Jet Trails Over The Gulf. It's not out yet, but I'm hoping to enter it into Amazon's new poetry contest. If you'd like an advance copy send me an email. Now on the art side: I've had a busy year full of commissions. Most of my best work has been the result of special requests. Here are some more commissions I've finished this year. I got into two new galleries this year, Coastal Magpie in Ocean Springs and Art-ology in Pass Christian, Mississippi. I'm also in The GCAA gallery in Orange Beach, Frame Corner in Daphne Alabama, and three restaurants: Portabella's Restaurant in Foley Papa's Pizza Fairhope and Big Daddy's on Fish River.  Our move to Mississippi has been good. I had to leave my old workshop behind, but I gained a big living room and a cat who thinks he's an art critic. I'm missing my favorite morning markets in Mobile, but I've been able to do the night market in New Orleans instead. I'll miss my Fairhope friends, but I still hope to visit from time to time. Here's a picture Zach took of Jenny and me in his pottery workshop a few years back.
