86th Grand National Exhibition at the Salmagundi Club in New York City

My oil painting A New Ophelia has just been accepted into The American Artists Professional League 86th Grand National Exhibition 2014 at the Salmagundi Club in New York City.

The exhibition will be held at the Salmagundi Club, 47 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10003 from November 10 through November 21 and will be open to the public 1-6 pm Monday to Friday and 1-5 pm Saturday and Sunday.

A New Ophelia is a new take on the story of Shakespeare's Ophelia.  Ophelia, struggling across the sharp stones of the path of her life collapses before her final hurdle, a large wall of rocks separating her from peace.  Red poppies trail in the water behind her, a request to the viewer not to forget her.
