Last fall someone gave me this wonderful Chinese calligraphy brush. I kept it on a table just waiting to figure out what kind of setup to paint with it as the main object. It all came together when I got the pottery made for me. I incorporated the way I paint my nests with the way I painted the brush hairs. It worked out and now I plan on doing another painting with brushes. One of these days I will paint the marsh landscape that I took a photo of this last summer. With that painting I plan to paint the grass with the same technique as the brush and nest so that it incorporates my style of painting.
On to the next brush painting that I have setup. Hopefully I will get it started this weekend.
The following paintings have sold: The Vessel, Birdsong, and Hi-Rise. Thank you!
I think I am ready for spring now. I know I am ready for the beach! Remember tomorrow is Daylight Savings Time. Now I have no excuse not to walk around the park after work.
Since all of my blue/spa background bird's nests have sold I have painted 3 more. This is the first one and I will post the others in the next week. I should have this one at the gallery by Friday just in time for spring weather.
This year I was asked to participate in the Huntsville Museum of Art Gala in Huntsville, Alabama. All of the artists participating have their paintings in the Museum thru March 2. There is a live auction and silent auction. The featured artist this year is Kevin LePrince. The events for the Gala start the week of February 25th with a luncheon, black tie dinner and live auction on the 28th then the cocktail party and silent auction on March 2nd. If you live in the area I hope you have a chance to stop by to see all of the wonderful artwork. Many of the artists participating are people who I have been in workshops with over the years, fellow artists in the gallery I am in or artists I have taken from over the years. Some of the participating artists you may know are Peter Max, Ken Auster, Nancy Franke, Gary Bodner, Barbara Flowers etc... The list is amazing and I am excited that I am in their company. You can see everyone's artwork at Huntsville Museum of Art You can click on the link then under Art you will see Gala, click on that link to see all of the paintings!
Here is another painting that is bigger then my usual paintings. Once again I took this picture at the gallery because of the cloudy weather. I recently purchased this vessel in High Point, NC while at the Furniture Market. There is a store there that has odds and ends and I finally had time to go check out what they had.
I have now added a bar on the bottom of each post for Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter. I really enjoy Pinterest and have many boards. One of my favorites is the food board, but I haven't made any of the recipes. At this point I think I have around 168 so you would think I would have tried one of them. One of these days. I also added a translation bar. After seeing all of the countries that have viewed my blog I decided to add this. Its on the bottom right. This painting is available at the Anne Irwin Fine Art.
