New Westword Press

Michael Paglia, the Westword arts writer said this of my current show at Rule; "The festivities are finished off by Stills, which comprises edgy and awkward representational paintings done by emerging Denver artist Nathan Abels. Though technically not photo-realist in style, these paintings make wonderful companions for the photos from the other two shows."

I'm not sure what he means by "awkward", but the show is still up for almost another month so you should go by Rule and decide for yourself.

"We take good care of our bird"

Katie Runnels, 2006, Acrylic on panel, beeswax, oil

A very nice plug from a SCAD friend of mine at her blog. Check out the work of Katie Runnels on her blog or on her new flickr site. You can count on Katie for a wealth of style, creativity and a lyrical or light-hearted handling of many mediums including sculpture, encaustic, painting, and collage. She also has a new etsy store.
