I won’t have a booth at Edmonds Art Fair this year, but I will have one of my images in the juried show. My piece, Ice Fans, was accepted and will be in display in the juried area inside the building while the art festival is going on.

My piece in the Larson Gallery show won a prize and was purchased by The Hearing Connection in Yakima. Here are some pictures from the opening.

I have been juried into the 2009 Bellevue ArtsFair (the one in the Bellevue Square parking garage).   I’ll be there from July 24th – 26th with lots of new work to show you!  

This year, 940 artists applied for 320 spots, so I’m very happy to be a part of the show. I hope to see you there!

I just found out I had a piece accepted in the Larson Gallery’s 36th National Juried Photo Exhibition. The exhibition takes place from April 3 through May 2, 2009.  The Larson Gallery is located in Yakima, Washington. The accepted piece was Forest for the Trees, one of my ice abstracts.

I’ve been working on a new series of pictures. I’m usually not too motivated to shoot in the winter, but this winter has been much colder and drier than usual. I’ve been enjoying getting out with my macro lens and exploring the ice.

One of my watercolor paintings was juried into a watercolor show today. University Unitarian Church is having an exhibit comprised of the work of Molly Hashimoto and her students. I painted a raven I photographed in Banff, Alberta. I was thrilled when it got juried in. The show opens tomorrow and runs through January 29th.  Although there is no particular theme, most of the work is landscapes or animals. There are about 20 artists in the show, and the paintings are amazing.

Come by on 1/4 between 1-3pm and see great art, eat food, drink wine, and listen to live classical music. Should be a great time!

I have five pieces on display until September 13 at the Clarridge Gallery, located at the East Shore Unitarian Church in Factoria. This gallery displays work from the members of Group f/5.6, an Eastside photography group.

The pieces are:

• Two Paths
• Hidden Stairway
• Waves
• Frozen Lightning
• Steer

Each piece is 27″x39″ framed, and is priced at $450.

The Clarridge Gallery is located in the Office/Bookstore of the church, and is open from Monday to Friday from 9-5. For directions, see http://www.eastshoreunitarian.org/directions.htm.

Come and see my work at Parklane Gallery in Kirkland!  The gallery is on Park Lane in downtown Kirland, across from the “Cactus” mexican restaurant.  I’ll have new pieces up every month. This month I am showing “Steel Sunrise” and “Wall”.

 My artist page at Parklane is http://www.parklanegallery.com/artists/todd/.

I was notified yesterday that I have been accepted as a member of the Parklane Gallery in Kirkland. 

This means I’ll have my photography on display in a gallery year-round!  My work will be there starting in early August.  Stay tuned for more details!

Thanks to everyone who visited me at the Edmonds Arts Festival in June. It was one of my most successful shows ever!

The weather was gorgeous, and I hope I get the chance to participate again next year.
