The GREEN Art Opening, Robert Berman Gallery

The Modlins photo by Mark Murphy
I am slow to get my photos up, but Mark Murphy (I finally got to meet the man -very friendly and nice!) has posted lots of photos from the Green Show opening on his blog. So, follow that link and have a look. Bergamot Station in Santa Monica (where the show was held at Robert Berman Gallery) has dozens of galleries all in one complex. Saturday night, Nov 17, was fully packed with people as there were many other openings that night and people walked from gallery to gallery. Erling Wold, the composer from S.F., was in town and stopped in at the show. He has blogged about meeting me here. (Flattery will get you everywhere, Erling.)
I also talked with Mark Frauenfelder and my friend George from Eugene. I met Bob Dob, Cathie Bleck, Nathan Ota and more. I just missed Lisa Mertins (who drove all the way out to meet me, but didn't know what I looked like) and who knows who else. It was so packed that it was hard to meet everyone. Mr. Robert Berman, the gallery owner, was absolutely the coolest guy. The Modlins entertained us with their music.

Back From L.A.

I just got back from L.A. and I had a wonderful time. It was hot down there! I'm going to tell you more about it as soon as I unpack and catch my breath. Meanwhile... here is the original pencil sketch for my "Deja Vu Waltz" painting.
I will post photos of the Green Show art opening in a few days.

"Banana Eater" painting by Amy Crehore (click to enlarge)
Dan Koeppel has written an interesting book called "Banana, The Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World". It's about the history of the banana.
He posted my "Banana Eater" painting the other day on his blog. Check out his books and his blog here:

This is one of my favorite blogs about art and the cinema. Lloyd has reviewed my new painting and I love the way he writes about art. See what he has to say:

Back to Work

Sketch on Canvas "Honeybee" painting by Amy Crehore
I'm back to work on my little "Honeybee" canvas today. This painting is for the Know Exhibition with Murphy Art Books at the Art Now Fair, Art Basel Miami. It will take place on December 6-9, 2007, 10am-8pm, Claremont Hotel, 1700 Collins Ave. (17th St.), Miami Beach, FLORIDA. There will be a special website for this show and I will blog about it later. Once again, Mark Murphy has invited a list of amazing artists to participate.
I will head down to L.A. this Thursday for the GREEN show opening on Saturday where I will exhibit my "Deja Vu Waltz" , a large painting that includes all of my recent characters.
