"Metal"

Today I finished painting a "Foil Series" watercolor titled "Metal". It was fun to paint but this subject has a very limited palette of mostly burnt sienna and blues. I really love the way the light hits the foil and makes the glittery look!

Frasier attends "Art on Millionaire's Row"

I am looking forward to this Friday evening and Saturday's "Art on Millionaire's Row". Besides entering the "Salon" exhibit part of the Festival (see my May 11th blog post), I also am also entering "Eyes on Art" in which participants incorporate eyeglasses as a theme (supplied by the Altadena Library) into an art piece. These creations are a donation to the Art on Millionaire's Row" committee for display and sale at the Salon Show and the Library will receive the proceeds.

I think it is a great idea and hopefully my piece, "Frasier and His Morning Paper", a shadowbox assemblage, will sell and benefit the Library. Fun and a good cause; I couldn't resist!

Come and enjoy a fun filled Art Event!
