Our good friend and long-time regular, Tom Miller, will be debuting his Upslope Portrait Project from 4-7pm.

About the artist:

Tom has been drawing and painting all of his life. When he retired in 2015 he decided to learn the art of screen printing.  To learn the process of screen printing he decided to print portraits of individuals he has met at his favorite watering hole – Upslope. On view for one evening only will be portraits of over 100 friends of Tom.

Artist Statement:

Through out my life from early childhood through my professional career I have always been drawing and painting. I have always loved “… taking a line for a walk” (Paul Klee), and putting colors on canvas. When I retired in the fall of 2015 I decided to learn the art of screen printing. Screen printing is a perfect medium to combine line, color, and make multiples of an image.    

Upslope Portrait Project:

To learn the process of screen printing I decided to print 10 portraits of individuals I have met at my favorite watering hole – Upslope.  At this point in time I have printed portraits of over 100 people. To say the least, the Portrait Project taken on a life of its own. I have been using two different types of processes: CMYC (reproduces full-color artwork, and Posterization (poster like reproductions having solid tones or colors and little detail from photograph).  The Upslope Portrait Project will continue as long as I keep visiting my favorite watering hole.
