It’s Heating Up out there
Hello dear friends and art lovers. I write to you from Andalusia, where I we are “enjoying” our fifth week of temperatures between 95-105 degrees. Let me assure you that we do all our errands and exercise before 10 am or after 9 pm. The balmy nights are the reward for surviving the sizzling days. We are well. We hope you are, too.
Family book of paintings, coming this winter
Hard-back book in conjunction with a large exhibition at Cutter & Cutter Fine Art opening January 26. Book to pre-order now for delivery first of the year.
I write with news.
We have a new book coming out, published by Cutter & Cutter Fine Art to accompany the 2024 exhibition in St. Augustine of the same name. Oliver Price at Komodo Creative designed it using around 50 images from each of us three artists. He also designed my last book. “Parallel Journeys” will be 168 pages about Daud, Timur and myself and the miracle of being able to work as a family, with overlapping vision. Essays by three gigantic women of words: Ann Patchett, Jennifer Jordan and Tamera Muente. Hardback, $50, available for pre-order now. The official release will be on January 26 at Cutter & Cutter Fine Art, but pre-order books will ship in time for Christmas.
Other news
Sothebys NYC sold Daud’s Pastel “Glance” at their recent ARC auction. He sends thanks to both institutions, and looks forward to the next ARC Salon competition. We both do.

Eastern Regionals
I’m sending this small rabbit to Oil Painters of America’s Eastern Regionals exhibition and competition in Birmingham, Alabama.
In the Red Boudoir. Oil on Panel. She’s small…. maybe 8 inches wide. I need to measure her, obviously!
In Closing
Daud and I hope that you and your loved ones have enjoyed the summer thus far, and that you will be in touch with news of your lives and projects, ideas and memories. We humans are story-seeking creatures! (quoting Samir Selmanovic.)
All the best!
