A few days ago Rockwell (Sense Fine Art, Menlo Park, Ca.) installed this new painting in a San Francisco high rise with a nice view of Alcatraz through the window on the right.

This painting below was the first one to sell from my current exhibition at Schmidt Dean Gallery in Philadelphia and I just heard that two more have been sold to N.Y.U. Medical Center in Manhattan.

Maren Bargreen Mullin (Gallery Mar, Park City, Utah) just placed this piece in a house in Park City.

Innerwoods, 40" x 60", new painting by Kessler

Here is another new painting based upon my observations of the aspen forest groves up in the mountains just east of Santa Fe, New Mexico. This series really is humming nicely and I am in no hurry to see it pass.
