"The solo" at The Round Top Center for the Arts' "Care for your child" Exhibit

The Solo 5 x 7 Watercolor

I received word today from the Harlow Gallery, that I am officially in the Exhibit "Care for your child"! Very exciting. My painting "The solo" will be at The Round Top Center for the Arts in Damariscotta, Maine on rt 1. The opening reception for that exhibit is October 10, 2009 11AM-5PM. The Harlow Gallery, in Hallowell, Maine, will have their opening reception October 3, 2009 5Pm- 8pm. I've decided that I will go to the Round Top Opening reception in Damariscotta on October 10. That is where my art will be hanging. This exhibit will run from October 2~25, 2009. This exhibit is to bring awareness to child abuse and to show families how children should be cared for. I'm so pleased to have a 'Child a day' painting included in an exhibit like this. It brings a whole new meaning to this project.

"Velvet and thistle" Watercolor Progress on a Buck.

 

A few days ago I started this 10 x 14 Watercolor of a Buck in Velvet, browsing around some thistle. If you remember back this past winter I worked up a graphite and colored pencil of this same Buck. Really, I just couldn't stand the green background I had put in that painting. So I decided to try him in watercolor and I like this so much better. The thistle are from my own reference images I took of them here in my backyard where the woods meet the lawn path.

This painting is the same size and orientation as the Kestrel painting. I think they shall make a nice pair.

At the moment, the Kestrel painting is off being photographed to make Giclee Reproductions. If you would like to have a 10 x 14 Giclee of  "The next generation, Am. Kestrel Falcon", let me know. The Giclee will be ordered and printed soon. Here's the image of "The next generation, Am. Kestrel Falcon" :

 

I also am working on a commission of an Airedale Dog for a client and creating the "Painting a child a day" each day, Monday through Fridays. I'm now off to ship out two Equine Paintings to the "Art at the Classic", Draft Horse Classic, in Grass Valley, Ca. 

I have a fan page on Face Book too. Look up to the side bar of this Blog and you will find a link to it. I'm up to 185 Fans! It's a nice page and I'm enjoying keeping it up to date. My Blogs also feed into those pages.

I just recently joined, as a "Sustaining Associate Member" the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society.
