Projects nearing completion

Hello everyone,

I'm here to tell you that this has been a very active month. I am almost finished with my second chair for the Chair Affair http://www.thechairaffair.com/. And nearing completion of the Serenity Series http://artbybradgreek.com/thrive.html , For the Thrive in '05 project. I have been out lining up locations to tour this set of paintings for viewing and to get pre- orders for the canvas giclee prints.

I have been working on press releases for an up and coming show that I'll be in called the "Variety Show". This is a 3 artist show at the Arts & Design Society in Ft. Walton Beach http://www.artsdesignsociety.com/. The show will be from June 8th-26th, with a reception on the 10th of June from 5:00-7:00pm. I will be Debuting the "Serentity Series" paintings at this show. I'm hoping to pack the house with friends and associates, so please try to make this show if at all possible. This will be my first trio artist show....so I hope to see you there.

The Outside Art Fair in Pensacola was a very good experience for me. I was set up in a public park for 2 days, I met alot of great people that showed alot of interest in my work. Some of you are here now because you took the time to sign my guest book and I appreciate all of your support, Thank You. I sold several prints and had a chance to set up and paint an old victorian style house across the street from my booth. Come to find out from one patron that grew up in the area....this house is suppose to be haunted....calling it " The Ghost House". So that is pretty cool. Only I can pick the haunted ones LOL.

I have been setting up at the Gulf Island National Seashore (Naval Live Oaks Area) in Gulf Breeze http://www.nps.gov/guis/pphtml/facilities.html , trying to capture a plein air painting for entry into the Arts for the Parks national art competition http://www.artsfortheparks.com/.

Two weeks ago I set up at Baytowne Wharf and did a painting of the marina area. Which had the "Blackbeard II" pirate ship docked at the very end of the pier. The owner of the ship, Captain Joe MacKenzie, introduced himself and wants to see the painting when I finish it and to get together for future projects. I've finished the painting and now am scheduling a time to meet back up with the Captain.

On May 5th I will be set up at the Arriaga Originals and Wild Women Art Gallery http://www.arriagaoriginals.com/ From 4-8 pm. This is part of the Arts Quest's Champagne Shopping Tour http://www.culturalartsassociation.org/aqdetailsnew.html. I will have originals and prints as well as set up painting into the sunset.

I placed 3 paintings in the Arts & Design Society's "Out to Lunch" show, now hanging in the gallery. The reception will be on May 13th in conjunction with the Artist Studio Tour. I will be set up painting on location at the gallery during this event. 5-8pm Friday evening.

I sent in 3 slides to the Artist's Magazine Competition today.
I'll be picking up my painting "Standing Guard" from the frame shop next week and delivering it to the Arts Center Galleries at the Okaloosa-Walton College for the 13th SE Regional Juried Fine Art Exhibition. The reception will be on May 15th, 2-4 pm. The exhibition is from May 16th - June 9th.

Well I've been pretty busy to say the least, but enjoying every minute of it. I hope our paths cross within the following month.
