Campello Art Talk This Sunday!

This Sunday I will have the honor to discuss my piece "Obama as Atlas" which is part of the very cool LINES DRAWN: America's Artists Look Beyond the Politics of Red and Blue exhibition at:

CHARLES KRAUSE/REPORTING FINE ART 
1300 13th Street NW
Washington, DC 20005
202-638-3612

Sunday, Nov. 16 @ 4:30PM
For all you grubs, refreshments will be served

I will also have a very cool piece of art that I will give to the person who asks me the best question during or after the talk!

"Obama as Atlas" by F. Lennox Campello (2008 -  2014)

Please come ready to discuss (and debate) the piece... beware that I am a Virgo and thus inclined to use facts (with references) in all my arguments.

Also, Art and Circuses, a very cool new DMV art blog by artist Michele Colburn has published a very eloquent review here. Please visit this new blog frequently!

See ya there!

Good Day,
How is everything with you? I picked interest in your artwork and
deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I will like to know if
you have shipped internationally before and if you have a merchant
that enables you to accept Visa Card or Master Card for payment?.
Could you please respond with your recently updated website so we can
proceed from there
Best Regards

Heading to the UK

Because I work my ass off, and because I am lucky to be represented by five very hard working galleries in the US and Europe, and because I am perhaps the most reasonably-priced (and needless to say uber talented) artist on the planet, I manage to sell a lot of work each year.

As a result, I don't usually note individual sales here, but every once in a while (such as in this case) a sale stands out. And the small drawing below is heading to the United Kingdom to the collection of one of the top ten art collectors on Earth!

Happy Veterans' Day!

To all American fellow veterans, both those who have served and those who are serving in all corners of the planet while we're home with our families. A well-deserved thank you to all the soldiers, sailors, airmen/women, Marines and Coasties.

This Veteran's Day is especially important in view of increased operations in various parts of the world where our men and women are in harm's way, and we should be even more thankful to those who wear and who have worn the uniform with honor.

And then Lieutenant Commander Lenny Campello back in 1992!
