Gerhard Richter

I saw this painting at the small private gallery that the MOMA operates out of the 1st floor of the Gap Corporate building here in San Francisco. I think the only way you can see it is if you have a willing Gap Corporate employee as your escort. Anyway, it's my favorite Richter painting, and breathtaking in person.

When I was at Utah State Robert Coombs was the one guy that should have been showing at galleries instead sitting in class. Now he's taken home the $15,000, Best of Show Award, at the 2006 Oil Painters of America National Juried Exhibition. (Tony Pro won this award last year.)


"First Leaves of Autumn", Oil on Raymar Panel, 16" x 11"

Robert was also awarded the $10,000 Grand Prize at the Raymar's First Annual Fine Art Competition for the painting shown above.

Congratulations Robert!

Let Us All Press On, 24" x 36", oil on linen

Opening today is the 7th Internation Art Competition at the LDS Church Museum. I wish I was in Salt Lake so I could go to it tonight! The exhibit will be up until this fall.

I was pretty excited when I found out that my painting had been juried in. If anyone goes to the show, let me know where they have hung it...
