"I'm Off to the Gala. Don't Wait Up"
8"x 8" oil painting on gesso board ready to frame
I have an online gallery at Daily Paintworks, click HERE, and each week some artist will issue a challenge to paint a subject and anyone can contribute a painting. See the current challenges HERE. Recently, Carol Marine issued a "pare your apple challenge", draw off the apple and divide it into areas of color before painting. This is my entry and in my setup I used one of the handmade batik napkins I made in the 80's? Anyway it was a long time ago and they are hiding in a drawer because I rarely use a cloth napkin anymore. During the many dips in a dye bath I'd add a square of white muslin to help keep a record of the colors used. I ended up with a lovely assortment of napkins. Now the colorful squares are oils painted on a gesso board panel and today I'm framing it for the Graham show.
I found out that my Green Apples won Best of Show for the CFAI March challenge. Click HERE to see the painting. It is in a private collection. And good news non-members can contribute their paintings in this monthly challenge. The April challenge is "All Things".
Shows:
My hand painted paper and torn paper collages have been delivered to the FWCAC in Fort Worth, TX., for a show that runs from April 6 to to June 29, 2012. There will be 14 pieces in the show in the Cafe. Click HERE for more details.
