New Frontiers

No updates from last month since I was out on the road for the most of it - somewhere in the middle of America...

On this journey, I began at the frontier lands around Colorado area, then took in the mid west of the USA upwards and acrossways to cover the great plains, including the Dakota’s and finally over to Minneapolis.

I managed to complete plenty of new sketches and photo’s during this trip, with lots of new ideas to create back in the studio. As is customary on such trips, I took the chance to visit local galleries and museums. The Denver museum of Art was particular impressive with a great collection of work displaying western american art.

Here's a watercolor postcard I completed en route, for one of the best selling iconic postcard images circulating in the South Dakota region - Mount Rushmore

Summery View

For the month of August, the summer themed exhibit 'Hot Hot Hot' continues over at Evers' Place Gallery in Long Beach. The show will continue until the end of this month.

Here's one of my paintings that features in the exhibit and was inspired from my travels while driving through Nevada's, Valley of Fire State Park.

Hotspot

The most recent show featuring my artwork kicked off last weekend at Evers Place Gallery, Long Beach, NY. The themed exhibit entitled ‘Hot, Hot, Hot’ opened last Saturday night and the exhibition will continue until the end of August.

Here’s a photo from the last opening night at the same gallery, for the blues festival show which featured in June. You may be able to pick out my artwork on the right hand wall which is a painting of Reynolds Channel in Long Island.

The Bluez Tones

Commencing this Friday on Jun 26th I will be participating in the 'Blues' themed art show occuring across the city of Long Beach. The 'blues' themed show is a joint show with collections displayed from Long Beach Art League, Artists in Partnership and WEA.

One of my blue's themed works will be exhibited at Evers Place Gallery at 949 West Beech Street with the gallery opening being this Friday Wed Jun 24th between 6-9pm. A cheese and wine reception will be held this Friday to commence the event, so hope to see you there!
The show will continue through to July 10 (gallery closed on Wednesday)

Almost opposite Evers Place gallery on Beech St, I have some more oil and watercolors paintings in the display window of Beach West Realty who are kindly showing my artwork throughout the busy summer months (thank you Megan!)...

My new web url has been set-up this month under http://www.jasonpritchardart.com/. Although not yet fully finished, check back regularly for new updates.

On the show side of things, after a successful gallery opening earlier this month, the exhibit at the Jackson Hotel @ 405 East Broadway, Long Beach continues through to the 20th of May.

Manhattan Mutts

The next art show that features my work is scheduled to go up tomorrow at the Jackson Hotel, 405 East Broadway, Long Beach. The display arranged by West End Arts will be up for public viewing until May 20th and will feature a couple of my paintings. The reception will be held April 5th between 3-6 pm.

Meanwhile in the studio, I’ve just finished a recent painting from my ‘commuter life’ series called ‘The Dogwalker’. This guy I often see on my way to work, walking a pack of Manhattan mutts that are assorted shapes and sizes.

Coming next month (hopefully) will be the launch of my new website (version 2.0) which is currently being crafted. Link to follow…

Upscale Fish Market

My recent oil painting of Pike’s Place Fish Market, Seattle, is now finished and will be freshly displayed in the Art Students League of New York, class Concours show all this week. The reception night is this Friday and the work will feature alongside two other of my larger oil paintings which are on display until Saturday morning. The event is in the Phyllis Harriman Mason Gallery on the second floor of the Art Students League building at 215 West 57th Street, Manhattan.

Some great turn outs for the recent January shows last month despite the freezing weather. The Postcards From The Edge exhibit was very well attended in Manhattan with a wine opening reception held on 9th Jan .
