Echo Art Fair in Buffalo was a great success- sales, purchases and new friends.

The month of May opens with a great group show at State of the Art Gallery in Ithaca on Friday May 6, then an open studio from 10-3 pm at the Mink Gallery, 614 North Cayuga Street.
One week later I'm in Buffalo for the Echo Art Fair at the OSC Manufacturing, 1001 East Delavan in Buffalo NY. The first Echo was held at the old Central Train Station on Buffalo's East Side, then moved to other locations. Now it's back in what promises to be a great setting.
Feeling the weight of history these days, the untimely death of Cornell's president Beth Garrett, the passing of our son Dan three years ago last month, my mother three years ago this month, my father in June of 2014- feelings of nostalgia, as much as loss, and as I age, the sense of a limited horizon. So why not put some thoughts down?
I just can't stick with one approach, whether medium or style, forever. There are too many wonderful approaches to creating new pieces. This year I'm going back and forth between the warmth of raw canvas, which I used exclusively in 2011-2012, and resin and board, which results in a glossy but more distant result. Feels like a reflection of the many facets of personality...
