Works in progress, graphite on paper, prismacolor on gessoed board, and oil on canvas
I’ve been working on a few pieces to get ready for my upcoming show in February at Smalter Gallery. The sketchbook and graphite have been off to the side for a while though, so I thought I’d bring them back in the loop. There are only so many hours in the day, so it’s hard to find time to explore all that I want to do, but I’m happy when those little nuggets present themselves. I have a couple commissions coming up to work on, but I like throwing in a few personal pieces to keep the creative juices flowing. I like the way these smaller works on board are turning out (inspired by arts on fire 6×6). Feels good working with graphite again though.
I’ve been working on several pieces on panel lately. Experimenting with my technique and I’ve been happy with the results so far. The work is pulling me in a direction of discovery and heritage. I’ll continue to push the materials and ideas until something else inspires me.
This Friday is the big fundraiser for the Interuban Arthouse, the place I call Art Home. I’ll have 6 multimedia pieces in this show Arts on Fire!. Its a completely free exhibition you just must see.
Included in the night are not only over 700 works available but also a bevy of entertainment and delights including aerialists, and fire wielders! It’s truly a fun night and opportunity to raise money for an incredible organization that does so much to support the community, the arts and myself.
All 6×6 pieces are to raise money for the arthouse and are marked at $40. That’s 4 of my original works at only $40 a piece. These were inspired by my nature walks and a visit to the aquarium. I’m a big proponent of stopping to smell the flowers and these 4 pieces reflect that.
Alongside the 6×6 is also the 12×12 members show with over 200 works included. I’ll have 2 pieces available for sale based on trips I’ve taken scuba diving. I’ve been hard at arting this year and it was nice to reminisce with these 2 and think of when I can get back in the water. These two if purchased will go directly to help me continue my art practice. Make sure you don’t miss this amazing event for both art and fun!
I hope you can make it!
