Getting Ready to Hang A Show

It’s a pop up art show curated by Maggie Bandstra and it will be at Loutit Library tomorrow evening.  A Window At Lavender Hill Farm is one of the pieces that I will have in the show…

A Window At Lavendar Hill Farm

It’s one of the pieces I worked on when I was up north.  Two more of those pieces are also going to be in the show, Conch Cottage #2

Conch Cottage #2

and The Garden Gate

The Garden Gate

All three are 8”x8” and 1 3/4” deep so they can either hang or stand.  The price of each is $95. 

I’ll also have 6 of my 4x4 pieces in the exhibit.  And, if you can make it to the show do come because there are 9 other outstanding artists in the exhibit.

Still More Of Last Week’s Work

This time more of my Little Gems Series.

The Little Gems are 4x4’', all non-representational.  I’m learning to just let go and let God.  One idea leads to another as the series continues.  This one is similar in color and pattern to the earliest gems.  As the progression continues you can see it evolving…

Some Teeny Tiny Art

mini is that an owl in there

Often when I’m working on a piece that just isn’t coming together I find little snippets that I like.  This little owl is one of them.  They are always between 2 and 3 inches square.  Here are a few more that came out of last week’s marathon session…

mini more circles

mini on the plain

These will likely end up on notecards which will sell for $5.00 each.

More of the Monoprints

 

monoprint artisans

These are the other monoprints that were done, ready for adding the other elements that will make them mixed media pieces.  The Artisans Gallery above is a favorite subject of mine and I’ve done it in watercolor, monotype, monoprint and acrylic.  When it’s done it will be one more version.

Here are the others…another conch cottage

and a church on Marathon Key

There were a couple more but for some reason they are not showing up on my computer.  So you can be surprised when they appear with the finished works.

Some Daily Sketches

Sunday Spider Wart

I’m back from an Art Retreat in Harbor Springs, Michigan.  It was a productive week for me, lots of new work and several starts completed. 

I still have to photograph and scan most of the work; however, I did get some photos of the morning sketches.  Every morning started with a daily reading, morning journaling and then a sketch.  The Spider Wart was Sunday morning, before I left. That one is already gone to a new home.  The rest you can see here….

That last one is the top of the fridge….

That’s all I can show you now,  As soon as I get the others scanned or photographed I’ll share.
