Abundance Lesson

Few things are more satisfying for an artist than a well executed redo. I had this abstract piece called Abundance for sometime and ironically, it was lacking. So I added a blue jay and some sky and it all came together. Focal point. It now has one. Focus. I believe I now have more. Synergy. The  whole is now greater than the simple sum of its parts. Hasn't that always been the lesson of abundance?

Little Slugger

Finished! Little Slugger got worked on at my demo for the Leesburg Art Association at the Leesburg Center for the Arts. This was a great example of the balance between what to cover up and what to leave revealed. I just loved the pattern of the outfit but it was seriously clashing with the original background patterns. Think this works...

I had a great time at the demo for the Leesburg Art Association today at the Leesburg Center for the Arts. There are still a few spots available for my workshop on Feb 21-22, 2015. Click here for more info.  Thanks again to Penny and Sharon!

Check out the show there of Richard Colvin's work called Local Colors. Wonderful!
