First-First Friday

Dani E. Day -aka- AjaiThe First Friday of 2016 was a bit slow as many folks were still trying to recover from the celebrations from the New Year’s Eve parties all over town the night before…but somehow, a few folks still made it out! Thanks for stopping by and it was great to see some old friends from my old TV days. Dani E. Day -aka- Ajai It was really nice to see my large paintings on a wall that fits them. They really need a good home with large walls and maybe even high ceilings! If you are interested in buying either of these large paintings, get them while they are still at the gallery. Contact me before they come down and I will work with you on the price! Wheelin’ and dealin’…that’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout! Dani E. Day -aka- Ajai These pieces aren’t small…each one is 96×48…that’s 8 feet wide for those who don’t know it.

After realizing that the First Friday wasn’t a big success for turn out, the gallery decided to have another Fake First Friday on the second Friday. Much better turn out and it was great fun to participate in a large scale live drawing with lots of other artists! Red Wolf Gallery wall-allwall-doodle

December Salon

Dani E. Day -aka- Ajai What a wonderful show set salon style by the fabulous Maddy Jane at Red Wolf Gallery! So many works of art to look at and only a few hours to see it all! It was a really great show and many friends showed up to support all the artists including of few of mine! Thanks guys…you know who you are! Dani E. Day -aka- Ajai Red Wolf Gallery is a creative space dedicated to fostering connections between local and visiting artists of all disciplines and is THE best place to go to see art of all kinds and for every pallet and sensibility you can imagine!

November First Friday

redwolf11-6-15November’s First Friday at Red Wolf Gallery was full of folks and great conversations and fantastic art by some maslows2of Denver’s best! I was privileged enough to be a part of the event maslowswith some of my recent works like Maslow’s 2, a recent painting fashioned after a painting I did a few years ago called Maslow’s that was featured here in this article from Westword.

totemsI also had some totem paintings that seemed to attract a bit of conversation and interest…

But the paintings that seemed to strike up the mostopression-croped conversation and bring the most interest were the set of 8 that I call Oppression.  All 4 pieces, Maslow’s, Maslow’s 2, Totems and Oppression, hung together to form a sort of yin yang and represented the essence of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs with my own spiritual twist on what’s happening in the world right now.

Many thanks to the many friends that showed up to hang out and help me show off my work…Vanna White style! redwolf11-6-15wtina
