I delivered paintings to the Travis Gallery this morning for Peter's upcoming show with Greg Bennett, "Light Observed". It was such a beautiful day, I couldn't resist a walk along the tow path before I left Bucks County.
Paul and Lisa photographing from the Milford Bridge
Lisa and Paul are home for the weekend. We were up very early this morning to go out photographing. Our original destination was teaming with hunters, so we raced away looking for a new location to catch the sunrise. As we crossed the Delaware River and headed into New Jersey, the sun was just starting to break. Peter stayed with the car as Lisa, Paul and I headed out onto the bridge to watch the sunrise unfold. It was cold, beautiful and well worth getting up to see.
We walked out to one of Peter's favorite trees today to photograph it in the last light of the day. We missed the golden light he was looking for by just a couple of minutes. It was disappointing but still beautiful. We'll go back tomorrow -- much earlier!
Today is the last day of the workshop. It was a fun few days and I think everybody learned a lot. Now it's time to pack up and get Peter home so he can teach in NYC on Monday and Tuesday. When is he going to paint?
I left the workshop this afternoon to visit the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. I really enjoyed Jun Kaneko's sculptures. I wish had taken a photo with all of the sculptures together, but you can see them online here.
Peter is teaching a 3 day workshop at Brazier Studio in Richmond, VA. Nice space, nice people, what more can I say. I'll try to post some more photos over the weekend.
Peter has 2 shows this fall. The first one opens at the end of October at Kerygma Gallery in Ridgewood, NJ. Learn more and preview the show.
The second show is at the Travis Gallery in New Hope, PA and opens November 6th. He is revealing a painting daily on his blog, peterfiore.blogspot.com and on Facebook. Enjoy!
