It’s official! I dropped three paintings off at Art On Main this afternoon for their 10th anniversary juried exhibition. The show opens September 2nd and runs until September 30th. The reception will be September 18th during the gallery hop.
Upcoming Juried Exhibition at Art On Main
I’m feeling excited and grateful – three of my paintings have been selected for the Art On Main 10th Anniversary Juried Competition, which will run at Art On Main during the month of September.
This will be my second time showing work at AOM – thanks for having me back!
Lots of stuff in the works…
It’s been a great summer so far; plenty of work, parties, house guests, visits to various lakes, and festivals. I’ve been making a surprising amount of time to paint, which I’m happy about. Nothing completed recently, but I have about seven things in the works all at once that I thought I’d share.
There’s a bonus shot of my super-cluttered work space, with my partner’s spot beside it. The Milla Jovovich drawing is his.
I’m also really happy to have a new phone with a much better camera; it’s actually capturing my reds pretty closely. Hooray.
Revisiting, Re-Painting, Reworking
I try not to get too reflective or repetitive with my painting, but there are a few images in my scrapbook of reference material that keep capturing my attention – even years after I’ve clipped them. These paintings are based on a photo of what I think is a character from an Italian play. I’ve long since lost the context, but the mask and veils and the remoteness of the gaze keep grabbing me. I thought I’d redo this one, 10 years or so after painting the red and orange version. The teal one is a work in progress, and I’m curious about where it’s going to go.
642 Things to Draw: My Winter Quest
On a whim, I bought a copy of the book 642 Things to Draw last autumn, thinking I would use it to help while away the winter in North Bay. It’s been fun; I loved having a reason to pick up my Prismacolours and try some realism.
