I have been painting a lot to get ready for an upcoming gallery show.
It opens on July 3, 2014 at the Chaffey Community Art Museum 217 Lemon Ave Ontario, CA
I had to pick a theme and work from there. I had done this painting after coming back from Cuba and it had a couple of birds and a woman, so that became my theme for the rest of the series. These are the paintings that will be in the show.
This crow one is a bit moody, but the day I painted it this is kind of how I was feeling. If you are into Goth it is perfect for you.
The story behind this one is: We all had to do a self portrait and I loved the skin tone as I painted this and before I knew it, though fully clothed while painting I was nude. OH DEAR! I wrapped a length of my signature silk chiffon around the body and there you have it. I have titled this one.
"Good Grief, It's Grandma!" No bird in this one just and old chick.
I will send out more details about the show later. It's been great fun to paint this series, which actually has about 8 finished paintings in it.
Meanwhile the Photo and Quilts class continues. I will post about it when I get more done on my quilt.
