This is me at the sculpture garden at the Strathmore Mansion. Last Sunday, I dropped off my watercolor painting and four other artists paintings for the Baltimore Watercolor Society’s 2010 Mid Atlantic Regional Watercolor Exhibition. (It’s a two hour drive, so we car pool.)
My painting, The Garden Gate, was chosen by judge for an award!
I joined the Strathmore Mansion as an artist member. I was impressed by the number of paintings they had sold at their juried membership show. I’m always looking for good places to sell work.
My husband, John, took my paintings to the Yellow Springs 37th Annual Art Show on Tuesday – (I was teaching class). The sale is open to the public April 24 – May 9th and well worth a drive just to take in all the great art.
At Yellow Springs, I’ll have four paintings for sale, including Buchanon Ave, here on the left. I painted this from another Lancaster scene during the fall of the election. I wonder if anyone will spot the tiny Obama sign I put in.
And today I’m hanging a small, one woman exhibit of watercolor paintings at the York Art Association, which will continue through June 14. YAA has a brand new look in it’s gallery – fresh paint, new flooring, ceiling and lighting! I’m planning to be at the opening (for at least part of the time) on Sunday, April 18.
And about the new beginnings part, I’m looking into how to do some oil painting on the side. I haven’t done it for years, but think it might be a nice addition to my portfolio. Many of the shows and galleries exclude watercolors, so I’m thinking a few oils wouldn’t be so bad.
