“Shadowbox” Wins Honorable Mention Award

My latest painting, Shadowbox, won an Honorable Mention ribbon at the 9th Annual Art at the Library show held by the Art Institute Group of the Merrimack Valley.

Two New Paintings Completed

I went back to my favorite subject, still life.  I had several of these objects in the studio.  The wood shoe, glass insulator and small black jar were found in antique shops, the birds and scissors were my Mother-in-law’s, and the Hot Wheel truck is my grandson’s.

The shadow box and other items were from my imiganation.  A fun painting to do with all the different surfaces and textures to paint.

I attended the ninth annual Native American Pow-wow in Haverhill, MA  on September 11, 2010 and got some great photos. This is a painting of Native American Head Dancer Don Barnaby.   There were several other dancers that I hope to paint in the future.

Jerry F’s second painting, October, 2010. Jerry took elements from a couple of drawings and arranged them to produce this very good painting. This is Jerry’s second painting in this class. I’ve posted this is Student Works. Good job, Jerry.

Good News! Student Works Page Repaired

We have rebuilt the page for the Student Works from August 2009 through June, 2010.  You can see the good work the folks did by clicking on the link at the bottom of the Student Works page.

The work is grouped by artist, and shows the good progress the emerging artists are doing.
