OK, so more stuff fell in my lap:
Another little show at a restaurant, this one is in Niagara Falls (my city!) and has incredible food and atmosphere:

Ancestry
Stuff I'm doing.
These are portraits of my great-grandparents, my dad's father's parents. James sort of disappeared from the scene a few years after my grandfather was born, and apparently Augusta was a nasty old woman by the time she came to live with my father's family when he was a child.
The little bit that I know about these ancestors leaves me with so many questions.
(Each painting acrylic on canvas, 11" x 14", 2010.)

Stuff I am Doing
July has turned into one of those busy months... my show at Betty's got extended another week, last day to view it is on July 18th. I've also been co-curating a show over at WNYBAC, and it opens on Friday night!
Then, next week? I'm so excited, taking my final week of vacation at work and attending Type Camp as a day camper. Giddy! I'm not sure exactly what to expect, but it should prove to be very interesting, fun, and a great professional development-type thing to do. (I wouldn't mind signing up for the one taking place at the Bauhaus next year, but I seriously doubt I would be able to swing it financially!)
I've recently started thinking about the things I'd like to do and accomplish next year. Among my ideas:
• Paper & Book Intensive, which will be at Oxbow near Chicago in 2011 (totally drivable!)
• An artist residency somewhere
• Attend the College Art Association Conference in New York
• A few more solo shows — I think my focus will be on university and college art spaces, but I'll still work on commercial galleries as well
• Seek out more grants and funding
• Continue seeking out teaching opportunities of various types
• Keep my eyes and my heart open
etc. etc. ad infinitum
