The Harbor

New painting! In fact it is still quite damp... This is from an image I saw several weeks ago. In real life the bay was not nearly as interesting, it was a flat grey day with this random ray of light. The light is what I was after.

The bay is different each and every time I see it. Within an hour the light, the waves, the tide, everything changes. I could spend the rest of my life just watching the light change out there.

With this piece I was trying to capture a sense of longing and isolation I felt when I saw these boats looking towards the far horizon.

"The Harbor" is 24x36, oil on canvas, and is for sale for $795.

Horizons Art Show

Here are a few pictures from the art show at The Art Mine. It's a nice, big space and a little hard to convey just how it feels. I have 27 images up to give you an idea of the scale.

The art opening went really well; there was a good turnout and I met a lot of people. It was a great introduction of the range of my of art to this community.

As far as I know the art show in Colorado was also well attended; my art friends back there tell me it was a great opening.

Back to the studio; I am working on a 24x36 landscape this week. It should be ready for viewing by the end of the weekend. Yay!

February is a crazy art month for me! I have two shows opening some 1500 miles apart from one another.

The show in Washington is at The Art Mine in Port Hadlock. The show will be open for viewing from Feb 2nd through March 20th; the opening reception is Sat Feb 6th, beginning at 5pm. It is an eclectic show featuring many new pieces including some of those I have previously blogged about.

The show in Colorado will be at The Art Center of Western Colorado in Grand Junction. The dates for this show are Feb 5th through March 15th, opening reception Friday Feb 5th from 7pm to 9pm. Alas I will not be able to attend this show opening as I have not figured out how to be two places at once... The work for this show features my black and white pastel series, including several large pastel diptychs on wooden panels. Here is a link to their website: I am showing with an amazing glass artist, Andy Martin, who ironically lives in Seattle now!

And other than that I start grad school at the end of the month as I start to chase down the elusive MFA. Art art and then more art--life is good!

Let me know if you make it to one of the shows; I would love to hear feedback. Thanks! Dawn
