9 x 12Gallery canvas
Acrylic/Mixed Media
I am currently involved with a very exciting artistic opportunity and thought I'd share a little bit about it. The project is an art exhibit/festival on May 16, at the 5 Rivers Nature Preserve here in Delmar, NY.
I wasn't going to post pictures of my paintings that I'm working on for this project, but I decided I wanted to share my excitement and use this painting as kind of a "kick off" to start getting the word out about this exciting event that I have the opportunity to be part of. This painting is actually done in more realistic colors but I had such fun using some cool filters and brushes to alter it with some fantasy colors for my Blog.
This event promises to be a fun-filled, whole day of art for sale as well as demonstrations and workshops that will be offered by all of the participating artists. We currently have 6 exhibitors (including me). We have a sculptor, photographer, painters, collage artists. I am going to be working on nature print demonstrations for adults and children. Another artist is going to conduct a floor-cloth workshop, and there might even be some woodworking demos! All the art presented, demonstrations and workshops have to be 5 Rivers inspired/nature theme. What fun right?
I cannot wait and on and off, here, I will share more details as I get them. We are now working on flyers, programs, and advertising opportunities with local newspapers, radio, and television.
Thank you for visiting my Blog and always know I so appreciate your supportive words and your friendships. Without you, I just couldn't do what I do with such enthusiasm and passion. I love sharing art and life with all of you.
Stay tuned; as in near future, I'm going to offer another Blog challenge. :)
Love to all; hope you are having an artful weekend and wish you a safe and happy week ahead.
Spring is in the air here! YES! Love to all - Marilyn xxoo
