I am the featured artist this month at The River Gallery on Trenton Street, West Monroe. I'll be hanging my show this weekend. The title of my show is "Enjoying the Journey" and the pieces are a variety of my latest work which is mostly floral. The June 5 art crawl is going to be HUGE! In addition to the usual galleries, the shops on Trenton Street / Antique Alley are going to be open till 9pm and have local artists in the shops. Don't miss this family friendly FREE event!
Here is one of my larger pieces, 24" x 24". It's more of a doodle that has come to life with color. I call it "Saturday in the Park"
After this photo was taken, I covered the piece in resin which gives it a glassy surface and intensifies the colors.
My most recent piece was influenced by the hit TV show Mad Men. I just love all the art used in the show. Most of them are abstracts, but I was drawn to the Michael Weidmen print in Peggy's office.
So, me loving flowers, couldn't get it out of my head until I painted my own interpretation of the piece.
"Mad About Yellow", 20" x 20". Contact me for purchasing info on this or any other art.
Mixed media artists - have you seen this INCREDIBLE giveaway at the new Mixed Media Monthly Challenge? What a great prize package. Be sure to hop over and enter!
Monday is another class with my mixed media students. They are incredibly talented and full of ideas. If you are taking the class, bring your surface, papers, paints and textures. If you have alphabet stickers.... One inch or larger, bring them. If not, then come and see the demo and if you like the look, you can try it at another class. Have some ideas sketched out and we'll have some fun.
Here is the canvas that I have had waiting for art to be put on it.
I hope to have it finished for class.
Check my blog TOMORROW for some exciting news!! :)
Have a great weekend!
