Liquidambar in Pittsboro---Showing new work

I'm headed out the door to Art of the Carolinas.  

The Carolina Mixed Media Art Guild works in the demo room providing demos using vendor products and provides hands on (cleaning tables, changing out water, etc.) support for the workshops.  It is a wonderful experience for our members to enjoy each other's company and to experiment with all kinds of art supplies.  Thank you vendors (too many of you to list here) and thank you Sharon DiGiulio for giving us this opportunity. I think this is our ninth year to work at AOC.

I am one of the featured artists at Liquidambar in Pittsboro from now until the end of the year. The 3D featured artist is Sylvia Coppola. I will be at the December reception on December 4, 2016 from 2:00 to 4:00.  Please stop by to say hi!

Here are a few images of new paintings in the show.  Unfortunately, the photos don't show the depth of the paintings, but you can get an idea here.






Elemental Energy II
24"x24"x2"

In Elemental Energy II, I developed my own gold metallic ink that creates the almost snowflake pattern. Click to see a close-up. 



Yugen
20"x20"x2"

In Yugen, I used a word for a title that I found this definition--an awareness of the universe that triggers emotional responses too deep and powerful for words.  I suppose this could be extremely good or extremely bad.  I hope this one shows the good.



Between waking and dreams
Triptych
24"x6"x2" Each

This triptych required much restraint on my part to stop when I felt I had painted enough. It was hard to stop as there are always more possibilities of patterns that may show up that I have never seen.


This weekend at the former Carolina Artists' Colony in Sanford, we are having an arts and crafts show on Saturday and Sunday.  This will also go on for the month of December.  I delivered some new work there as well.  Stop by and check it out!
