The gallery representing my work recently sold 2 of my paintings and has asked me to bring in more work. That was the motivation I needed to get back in the groove.
"Big Bowl"
2.5 x 3.5 mixed media
"LaSalle Street"
2.5 x 3.5 mixed media
I have also started a large 30 x 30 encaustic painting that will not include an image transfer but will be painted free hand. Several layers of wax into it, I have established the composition - pussy willows and marsh grass in the foreground, pond and sky in the back ground, and most likely dragonflies will be strategically placed. There is a lot more work to be done but I had to put this aside in order to create new work for the gallery. I have a 2nd panel the same size and depending on how things develop I may end up with a large diptych.
Before you know it, the festival season will be here and I will have a 10 x 10 booth to fill. It's almost show time, folks, and I have lots of work to do.
Oh these are so beautiful, Robin!! I love your scenes of Chicago, always. If you need any help for prepping for your shows, do let me know. I'm great at organization and at helping. No pay needed; I'd do it for the fun of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the offer, Sherry. I have gotten the show routine down to a science and will not need help but would love it if you were in the neighborhood and could say hello (I am still waiting to hear back from several more of my submissions). I will keep you posted.
DeleteCongrats on the sale Robin! Would look forward to this big piece you are going to start soon!
ReplyDeletepadmaja, spent the weekend working large and plan on posting my progress later today (or tomorrow). Still not finished, but I needed a break to see with fresh eyes.
DeleteThese are great, and congratulations on the sales. I'm just catching up with blog friends and I've seen some of your art on FB.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to keep up - Facebook, blogs, pinterest, twitter, it's endless! glad you stopped by.
