Sizzle in the Studio

It's been quite the winter in an area where we rarely see the birdbath freeze.

There was a great collection of snowmen in the paper the other day and I thought I'd share this great image.

On the art front it's been sizzling... many great projects percolating in the studio and openings galore.

There was a wonderfully attended multi-gallery opening last Sunday at the new experimental Art Space in Pembroke Mall. My work is in my friend Debi Stadlin Studio where I have one large canvas tapestry titled 'Talking to Trees', a series of mantras and three painted benches.

Tonight my large canvas titled 'The Wish Fulfilling Tree' is being shown in the inaugural exhibition at the spanking new Art/Culinary Institute here in Virginia Beach. Tonight is also the opening where I am invited guest artist in Ohio at the Tri-C/Ursuline College Art Therapy graduations exhibit and 'Simplicity Symposium'.

The opening for Shooting Star Gallery is this Friday and also the opening in Brooklyn, New York for the Art House Sketchbook #4 Project.

Sunday I'll be presenting a talk and a workshop at Unity Fellowship in Newport News.

It's such fun to simply keep on keeping on...lovin' life.

Flow-ers

Before going into the Old Donation Center art studio the 4th graders stood out in the hall and played an intuitive game that I call 'How observant are you?' In this instance the idea was to look at and talk about 'The Wish Fulfilling Tree' a large painting that I brought along to hang in the hall outside the art room during my week at the school. Together we addressed the concepts of symbolism, where artist's find ideas, varied techniques, color choices, etc.

After a good round of discussion and terrific insights we went into the art room, closed the door and I asked each artist to now see how much of the painting they could recall from memory using the colors they like and simply having fun with the process.
