Daily Painting

More is More Pt. 2

I decided to photograph today's painting among friends.  Thats Elizabeth's mouse over there and a magic box from Marrakech along with some fake hydrangea blooms bought in february to cheer me up in perpetuity.  A bunch of stuff has been shoved to the side and to the floor for the illusion of order.  This month there is an article in Cottages and Bungalows Magazine entitled Less is More and its about our house.  This is amusing to my husband who does not consider me a minimalist but its all relative right?   Speaking of Michael this painting of his is on display at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum through the summer.  (The more is more pt 1 to which I am referring is here.)

I forgot to mention that I had a few paintings in the Community Exhibit at Imago Gallery in Warren, RI.  This particular show is down but if you are in the neighborhood check out the gallery.  36 Market Street, Warren, RI 02885.  Hours:  Thursday 4PM - 8PM  |  Friday and Saturday Noon - 8PM | Sunday Noon - 4PM

Providence Art Windows

This morning I hung some art at 191 Westminster St. Providence RI for Providence Art Windows, a super cool program run by Rebecca Siemering.  Thank you rebecca!  (Then I came home and made a bowl of delicious soup.)

Walking to school we have gathered quite a collection.  I tried to channel Elizabeth Hutchinson.  If you are near Ontario you can see her and her work at the Ontario Plein Air Painting Show and Sale.

The Morris gallery of Contemporary Art opening

Here is yet more press for the Morris Gallery of Contemporary Art opening.  I had such a wonderful time meeting the vibrant people of Marshall Missouri and hanging out with fellow NYAA grad, art teacher Charity-Mika Woodard. (not to mention sporting costume and bag of my own design!)  

Paintings #405, 406 and 407, value studies.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to demo for the painting one class at Missouri valley College. They were a terrific bunch.  I did these monochromatic value studies.  The opening of The Morris Gallery was a great success.  I had a wonderful time, thank you so much Charity-Mika.
