Art Exhibition

It's a beautiful day for art!

For the next several days I will be posting about a few pieces of art, that I have made recently.  I hope you enjoy the art of serenity. 

Most of these have been in exhibition. An art exhibit is when you apply for a spot in an art show or gallery and you are selected. 

This piece is one of many Arizona landscapes I have created. It is done with chalk and ink. The substrate was textured so it brought forth the hues.

This piece is one of several in a series called, The Crow Chronicles. It is a mixed media piece and is done on canvas. The top strip of crows comes off, to be used as is, or to fly to another piece in this series. Mixed media is when you use multiple ways in which to create and tell a story.  On this piece I used acrylic, chalk, oil pastel, and collage. It has several layers of paint on it. When I paint and add lots of layers, something in evidently shows up. I step back to look, and I let it sit for a day or two, in my view.  This way helps me to decide if it is finished or not. 

Enjoy the art all around you!
