Hot, hot baby!

Summer is here.  Last weekend it was HOT, well Alaska hot.  The sun was big and bright and Alaskans were in a great mood.  The tourist are here enjoying our world.  Festivals and fairs are popping up every weekend.

What does the paragraph above mean to artists?  Get your buns in GEAR!  This is the season where your bank account gets in the black and you get inspired with new ideas.  With so many new eyes seeing your work, there are many opportunities to listen to customer feedback.  This helps the old grey cells spark to life with new ideas.

The above painting is 12" x 12" on a wood frame.  The background is done with a paper collage.  Inside the frame is a MDF board placed on mat board.  When all that is done I place Greve and Celli with oil paint.  This allows an affordable and suitcase friendly piece of art.  I hope to sell the pieces for $125.  Hope being a key phrase.

Come by the Girdwood Forest Fair July 6-8th and see all three designs plus two new original canvas paintings.  I will be working the Girdwood Center for Visual Arts booth on Friday afternoon.  It is an art, food and music filled weekend. 

Thanks for listening and checking out my new work.  If you'll excuse me my buns clearly need to get in gear!
