This is Blue Wall, 16"x12", oil and wax on board. The studio marathon continues, though tonight I am knocking off early to celebrate meeting the first of my deadlines--photos for publicity (including the one above) of work to be exhibited at Perlow-Stevens Gallery in October. I've got everything I need to do listed in a time line for the next month, and with enough focus I'll make it through...I recognize a need to pace myself and not get too burned out,though so far I continue to feel pretty energized.
I also want to announce an upcoming workshop, Abstract Painting with Cold Wax and Oils, that I am teaching in Longmont, CO (near Boulder) on April 16-18, 2010. I truly enjoy each of these teaching experiences, and so it's really a pleasure to have this on the horizon. Please join me if you are interested and can make it...it's been great so far meeting artists around the country and working together. This time it will be in a beautiful venue--artist KC Willis's recently established retreat center, housed in a charming old cottage and carriage house.
there is something meditative and calming about your work--- and I can see there are lots of layers of textures. It is good to have deadlines and feels good when you meet them.
ReplyDelete"Blue Wall" is absolutely
ReplyDeletefull of memories
and experiences
and stories...
The patina you achieved is luscious, Rebecca.
I just started painting with oil and wax after taking a class from Alan Cox. I love the texture you are able to get. You make it look so easy but I now know how incredibly hard it is.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this piece and I cannot wait to take the workshop with you!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comments and observations. It's so gratifying to connect with other artists this way. Jala, sounds like I'll see you in CO?
