A solo show of my paintings is coming up soon (in 10 days but who’s counting), on Sunday February 1, at the Rancho Linda Vista Gallery in Oracle. For the past two years I’ve been focused on creating all new paintings for this show. Weeks ago, I had the postcards invitations to the show printed and was just getting ready to mail them out when guess what—I overheard someone talking about Super Bowl Sunday. Coming up on Sunday, February 1. Imagine my horror when I realized I had inadvertently scheduled my opening for that very day. Too late to change the date.

In deference to the Super Bowl, I decided to start the opening earlier, at one o’clock. That way the Super Bowl won’t loose any viewers—they can see my show early and head home in plenty of time to take in the game. And in addition, I’ll be providing plenty of chips & dips and libations, so visitors to the exhibit can do their eating at my show and not have to worry about food distracting them from the game.

And for the rest of you, if you’re feeling left out, come to my opening and join in on conversations about art and other fascinating non-game related topics. And you, too, can have your chips and dips.
