What’s up at the International Artexpo
Of late I’ve been taking a little dip into the art world, just a bit. But first, some background. Sinclair Stratton, an artist and a good friend, gave Heather and me this painting as a wedding gift:
"Fierce Love," by Sinclair Stratton.
It’s a watercolor portrait of us that she painted from a photo that Bil Zelman took of us from an earlier photo shoot at his studio. It was an astounding gift, and we love it. Normally, it’s on prominent display in our living room. Not today though.
Today it’s out on loan, and you’ll find it at the International Artexpo in New York. Sinclair is out there right now, and this work is among others she has on display there in her gallery. She’s out there to get herself noticed, and I hope it helps. (And yes, as a matter of fact I do think it’s pretty damn cool a portrait of us is out there!)
This all came about because of Sinclair and another friend of mine, April Game. She is the CEO/Executive Director of the San Diego Fine Art Society. I think it’s going to transform the San Diego art world, and I’m proud to be a member of its board of directors. Anyway, April and Sinclair asked if we would loan them this painting. After a little trepidation, we agreed. April is out there with Sinclair, and to judge by the SDFAS tweets, things are going pretty well. Good luck guys!
