I’m exhibiting at the Visual Art Gallery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, in the first comprehensive UAB Art Alumni Exhibition. It runs through Nov. 6. Looking forward to seeing what's taken place at my undergraduate alma mater since leaving there in 1978.

My submission: Untitled (Encounter in the Foyer), 2007, egg tempera, silverpoint, and gold leaf over casein on panel, 16 x 20 inches

I’m very happy to report these new acquisitions for my museum, the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art: two paintings by the late Roger Brown (1941–1997), a native Alabamian who made it big as a Chicago Imagist.


Hank Williams, Honky Tonk Man, 1990, oil on canvas, 72 x 72 inches
