I donated two paintings to the VAE's 'For the Love of Art' Auction & Gala (2/4/12) being held at the Raleigh Marriott and took one of my newest paintings to the VAE for the 'Open Source' exhibition. It's not a juried exhibition but it is a good way to get my name out there. Who knows, maybe someone will want to take my painting home. (I can dream - LOL)
The newest painting is the second to my first painting 'Sentinel'. I have mainly worked in brighter color palettes and this is my foray into more muted color schemes. I've always been a very spiritual person and this ties into that part of my personality. There is an etheric quality about it that I really liked so I thought, what the heck, I'll give a shot at a whole series. Wish me luck. :)
So what really cool things are you working on?
Have some canvases that are calling my name upstairs. I have cleaned up my paint space and canvases are laid out and waiting for some color. Still need to go by Jerry's and pick up more canvases. I had said that I wanted to try my hand at some smaller paintings...so that will help me accomplish that one. I still say that I feel much more intimidated by small canvases than large...not sure why. Very curious indeed. :)
Well, really tired. Had a busy but really great weekend and I need to get some sleep. Hope you all have a great Tuesday!
