From EBK Gallery: In collaboration with the art web site CT ArtList we are very pleased to have selected artworks from the artists hosted on the CT ArtList site. These young and very accomplished artists have produced some great pieces which are quite affordable for the art collector or soon to be art collector. Please feel free to call, email or visit to see these wonderful pieces of artwork.
“This will be CT ArtList’s first curated show in a commercial gallery setting. Of the six artists selected 5 have M.F.A. degrees, and 4 attended Connecticut Universities. This group of artists is a clear reflection of CT ArtList’s mission - to provide exposure for working, professional artists in the state who are immensely qualified, yet often under-exposed. We would like to extend our thanks to The EBK Gallery for presenting a professional caliber exhibition of work by CT ArtList artists.”

Willem De Kooning, Sag Harbour, 1964. 203.1x91.2cm, Oil and charcoal on canvas. Hirshhorn Museum of Art. #painting
This painting always reminds me of my years living in DC. It is like an old friend.
The painting I’ve been working on over the last week. A wound or a rose depending how how big an optimist you are.
30 by 30 inches, acrylic on panel.
