Between Head and Hand

Here's the card for my upcoming exhibition, Between Head and Hand, at Dolby Chadwick Galery this coming September. 

'Hello, Goodbye' at Dolby Chadwick Gallery

For anyone in the SF bay area, I'm one of 15 artists in a show titled Hello, Goodbye at Dolby Chadwick Gallery near Union Square in San Francisco.  The opening reception is next Thursday, December 12th from 5:30 - 7:30.  Click this LINK for more information on the show including text and images for all the participating artists.

I've wanted to work with this gallery for the last few years and this will be my first time showing with them.  I also just scheduled my first solo exhibition there for September 2014 (more to come on that in the coming year).

New Paintings in Progress

Here are a few new paintings I'm working on, two are 36 x 30 inches and the other is 48 x 40.  I started using a thin sheet of metal to paint with in addition to my arsenal of brushes, it's added a great texture and surface quality.

The End of the Beginning, in England and Online

For anyone in the UK area my new show titled The End of the Beginning opens tomorrow at The Cold Press Gallery in Holt, England.  It will be up until September 28th.

                                                                                                      
For those not able to make it (including myself unfortunately), I updated my website with the new work as well as a few other pieces from this year, you can view it HERE.

I'm taking part in this years Art at the Source open studio tour. My doors will be open this weekend and next (June 1-2, 8-9) from 10am-5pm. For anyone in the SF bay area stop by my studio in Jenner for some art, tequila and a view!

Here's a map of all the studios (I'm number 87 in the middle section)

New Painting in the Works

Started a new painting yesterday, it's 48 x 40 inches, no title yet but I'm excited about how it's progressing.  Still has a way to go but so far so good.  I took some photos along the way to show the process, in the first few you can see a glimpse of an older piece (never finished) that I painted over.

The Dreamer, new painting

Here's a new painting I finished this past Saturday titled The Dreamer.  I've been working on my website and other projects for the last few weeks so I'm very exciting to be painting again.

Studio, Painting area

A few paintings that have been finished and a lot more on the way. 

I used to only work on one painting at a time but lately I've had dozens of pieces going at once.  Some end up completed, some get painted over and others wait in purgatory.

New Website

I just completed revamping and updating my website, kaisamuelsdavis.com.

It includes new work from 2012 and new studio images.  I've also compiled all the archived work into the main site so it's a bit simpler and easy to view, there are now gallery sections for 2011, 2010 and 2005 - 2009.

Please take a look and let me know what you think.  I'm excited about the new paintings I've been working on and it would be great to get some feedback.

Thanks!

A few new ones

Here's a few paintings I've been working on lately.  The first three are finished and there's a shot of my studio with some more in the works.  I'd love to get some input since I haven't shown any of these yet.
