2022 Shows in Spring and Fall

2022 Shows in Spring and Fall

Coming soon! Newton Open Studios is heralding Spring this year with a show May 21 and 22 throughout the town. With over 190 artists, find me and ten other artists at New Art @ Trio, 245 Walnut Street, Newtonville, a well-lit large gallery space, corner of  Washington St. 11 am to 5 pm both days. We are on the second floor accessible by elevator. 

Date still to be announced is the second annual “Pop-Up Art Sale”, in West Newton this Fall (Sept or Oct). Located at 52 Sewall Street in West Newton, it was a huge success last year. The open grassy green space with shade was perfect for visitors to stroll and take in the photography, painting and crafts. Stay tuned!

Travel Inspires Art

I was editing my Perugi Studio Website and placing photographs. This involves going into the media folder and picking out the images. I noticed a photo I took on a trip to Italy three years ago that clearly inspired one of my recent paintings, Arches. The place and image must have been in my subconscious. The photo at right was taken at the Florence Leather School in 2016. The Cold Wax Painting was made in 2019. Take a look and see what you think. Here is the painting and photo:

Buon Giorno Italia!

Buon Giorno Italia!

We visited Italy for a week for sightseeing and visiting relatives in February, during a surprisingly warm eight days last year. First stop was Venice, then Florence and finally Rome. Our two children came as well, and so it was a grand family trip. Photos from all three cities in the gallery below!
