After 6 weeks of painting the 25 painting series “Looking Through Windows” is done.
If you live in the Sacramento area, please come and see the exhibit! It will be exhibited at the 20th Street Art Gallery. The exhibit will be on display November 11 – December 24, 2009. To see a preview of the exhibit, check out the gallery’s blog here.
I photographed all the paintings and turned them in yesterday. While I was at the gallery, I received some postcards and my sample piece that I turned with my application for the exhibit. That reminded me that I haven’t shared this yet — here is my sample piece, “Rooftops”, oil on canvas paper:
To get ready for the exhibit, I put the images together in the order I would like them to hang on the wall. I decided to order them based on color instead of when I completed them. I think it looks nicer this way. The five on the bottom will not hang in the exhibit initially, they are extras and will be hung as pieces sell from the exhibit. And thus they are my least favorites. Here they are all together (click image to see larger):
It’s amazing what a person is capable of under stress. If you remember my last update was titled “yikes!”. At the end of week four I had less than half the paintings completed and in the last week and a half, I finished the rest. Here are some larger, individual photos of my favorites that I haven’t already shared in previous posts:
Here’s my latest painting: Rosevillle
I created it for the Celebrating Roseville: A Centennial Exhibit at the Blue Line Gallery in Roseville CA. The city is celebrating its one hundredth year and the Blue Line Gallery is celebrating with the city 🙂
The painting is large (for me anyway), it’s 2′ x 3′ and very detailed. I had one month to complete it and I worked an incredible amount of hours on it. But alas it is complete!
The exhibit opens Saturday night with live music by Gypsy Standard Time and snacks from Kelli’s cookies. Should be fun!
Here is the exhibit postcard. For more about the exhibit, click here.
Happy Friday!
One of the fellow artists participating in the 50-50, Francisco Castro, created a page on his website dedicated to 50-50 and he asked all the artists to send him their personal favorites from their own 50-50 series. Not everyone has responded to his request yet, but a good number of the artists have and you can view the web page here.
Those of you living the Sacramento Area, please come out 2nd Saturday (April 12) to the reception from 6pm-9pm. It’s at the 20th Street Art Gallery, 911 20th Street between J & I Streets. It should be a really fun exhibit with 3500 pieces of art hanging on the gallery walls.
And for those of you who cannot make it to the exhibit, I will post some photos after the artist reception next week.
I am all done with the paintings and I submitted them to the 20th Street Art Gallery yesterday afternoon. At the gallery I had the opportunity to pick up some postcards for the exhibit- see image below. I was excited to see one of my paintings made it on the postcard (circled in red). As it turns out the exhibit title has been shortened to “50-50” because they accepted about 75 artists. You can see samples from many of the artists here.
The exhibit will be up April 9th – May 2nd, 2008.
Since I started the blog a little after I started painting, there are several paintings I have not posted yet and there are a couple that I replaced. So, here are the ones you have not seen yet and all 50 together in hanging order (click to enlarge):
I actually painted this a few days ago; I painted two that day. The one I was working on tonight isn’t completely finished yet. But I promise it’s worth the wait – it’s a good one 🙂
Here are my paintings for yesterday and today. I hope you like them 🙂
Only 8 more to go- yay!
