However, AMOA is doing this great thing where they highlight their own collection now (finally!) plus works from people's private collections. This painting, tucked in a corner, literally took my breath away. It sounds cliche', I know, but it did. This image does it no justice at all, and I even debated putting it up. Just trust me on this one - it's amazing. At least it was for me. (And frankly, that's what's so great about art. It makes no difference what a piece means to anyone else but you.

Thank you very much for you post,

That is, your post. I am really enjoying the Austin art scene.
Graydon - how awesome (and random) that you found my blog post. Great to hear from you. Are you new to Austin? If you have any shows/galleries/studio tours/etc... I would LOVE to come! This painting was really incredible - I've been talking about it for days.
Moved to Austin last year. I love it here. The art community is very fresh and open minded. I have a show scheduled for 2010 in NYC. Hopefully I can do much more with Arthouse, the Blanton and AMOA.
Thank you again!
