As Spring arrives, so does the 2024 art show season. I am looking forward to a great new season of showing, telling and selling my art. First on the docket, Broad Ripple Art Fair in Indianapolis. The dates for this gem of a show are May 18 and 19. I love being a part of this show because it is in a beautiful wooded venue and has a serious following of art-loving patrons. I will once again have my series "Of the Woods", which has expanded and evolved quite a bit since last year. Here are some of what I'll be showing. The first two pieces are mixed media collage painted on canvas and embellished with handmade papers, tissue paper and canvas. They are each 30 x 40". The last piece is a watercolor painting embellished with wax resist, acrylic paint and handmade papers. It is matted and framed in my signature frame. The size is 24" x 36" under glass. Which one do you like the most? What would you like to see at the show? Please share in th
Coming soon to the Gaslight Art Colony in Marshall Illinois ! I am so excited to return as the teacher for this fun workshop. It will be similar to the format of last year's workshop, but the materials, format and the end result will be very different and one of a kind. Here's a little bit of the process we'll be following. We'll start with a blank 12 x 12" canvas. We'll learn about building up an underpainting with sepia tones and lay in the basic design. Next we'll start building, using a combination of acrylic paint, painted papers, burlap, canvas and yarn. As it evolves, other layers and materials may be added or subtracted. Glazes will be available to tint or tone the colors until the desired look is achieved. The last and most important step is that the path of light through leaves will be established and refined. I would be delighted for you to join us for this all day event. To register, go to Gaslight Art colony. See you there!
