"Orpheus" by Doug Blanchard
From Doug aka Counterlight:
Dear Friends,
I will participating in the Artists Alliance Open Studios, together with the CSV Center, part of the New Museum's Festival of Ideas for the New City. The event will take place Saturday May 7 from 5 - 9PM, and Sunday, May 8 from 12 - 6PM at the CSV Center, 107 Suffolk, at the corner of Suffolk and Rivington on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The nearest subway station is Delancey-Essex on the F, M, J, and Z lines. (My emphasis)
My studio will be open to all, as will the studios of scores of other artists in the building. This will be our 15th annual open studio event.
I hope to see you there.

Pictured above is one of my favorites of Doug's paintings. Details of the painting may be seen here.
Doug's "Gay Passion of Christ" series is now featured, along with commentary by Kittredge Cherry and passages from Scripture, at the Jesus in Love Blog during the Lenten and Easter season.
Last time I was in New York, Doug promised to take me to his studio to show me his etchings, but he never did. We lingered too long at lunch after church with his friends from St Luke in the Fields.
