Thanks for Coming out on a Rainy Night!

In spite of the fact that the rain was coming down and the Rangers were playing game 6 of the World Series, many folks turned out for a great evening of art at David Dike Fine Art last Thursday. I appreciate all of you and enjoyed seeing lots of familiar faces and also meeting many new people. Chris Mano of ManoFilmWorks continued shooting the documentary he is working on and got a number of nice still images of the show as well. - Thanks to Anne Kelly for helping me install the show! - "Western Movie" will be up until November 25. Please stop by the gallery if you have the chance and let me know what you think of the new work. - Thanks again!

Jon Flaming to Exhibit Work at David Dike Fine Art, October 27.

Over the past several months I have been preparing for an October 27, 2011 show at David Dike Fine Art. I'm calling the show "Western Movie" because the majority of paintings will be based on my collective memory of the friday night TV westerns from the 60's & 70's. Here are a few pieces I've been working on recently for this solo exhibit. Please mark your calendars for Thursday evening, October 27, from 6-9 - and if you are in town stop by the gallery and say hello. -
