Principle Gallery, Geoffrey Johnson, Martin Poole and Holiday Small Works Show

Opening Saturday, December 3, 2011, 1:00-4:00pm
I'm happy to have couple pieces in this show!

“Veni, Vidi, Vici”, 14x11, oil on panel

“Fire Dance”, 8x10, oil on panel

Veni, Vidi, Vici was a really fun painting to do. I love it when I smile through the process! 

Fire Dance is a bit of a trek to our darker side but I enjoy going there too.

Geoffrey Johnson

From the Principle Gallery website, Geoffrey's Artist Statement:

A native of North Carolina, Geoffrey Johnson received his classical training at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia.  Since his time there, he has established himself as a true innovator, successfully capturing the alluring space between abstraction and realism.   A fascination with both the human figure and the powerful architecture of a modern city play a large role in his oils.  Through a feeling of anonymity, figures become suggestive shapes and the skyline of New York materializes mysteriously in the background.  The paintings embody the mood of each urban experience.

Martin Poole

I enjoy both these artist's work very much. They are spectacular in person. Here are links to the gallery's page for Martin Poole, and  Geoffrey Johnson.
