Sunday, April 3rd from 2 to 5 pm. will be the opening of our Designing Women show. Today we were there hanging the show and noticed many more brightly-colored paintings will be hanging in this show than in recent shows. This gallery of some 20+ women exhibit a large number of abstract paintings, but recent newer members are adding more representational work to the shows. There are a number of florals and even some human forms in this exhibit.
The exhibit runs until the end of May and features an assemblage of paintings on 5 x 7-inch canvases of shoes which will be raffled off and will be a real coup for the winner to be announced June 1st at the opening of our next show, Canvas and Some More. Raffle tickets sell for a mere $2.00 apiece, and the assemblage is stunning.
Members were given a 5 x 7 inch canvas and were told we were each painting shoes. Not everyone complied, but we ended up with an amazing variety of little paintings which have now been joined together and are hanging as one assemblage at Studio 1212.
The assemblage to be won is shown in the center section of the poster at left. We also will be selling posters like the one at left, without the raffle ticket information.
Studio 1212 is located at 1405 Cleveland Street in Clearwater, Florida.

One of the things people have said about my artwork is that it tends to evoke images of past scenes or hopes of future dreams and destinations in the thoughts of the viewers. Translation: Dreams about Art! This blog will be a launchpad, I hope, for enjoyable experiences for many viewers as I share my thoughts and paintings with you. Copyright 2007/2016.
