Another Show with my birds (http://salemart.org/programs/bush-barn-art-center/)

 

 

WON BEST OF SHOW at the BUSH BARN ART CENTER!

 I feel I am on a roll with posting, somehow I can still post pictures to my blog.  Not really sure why the miracle happened , but it did, so I'm taking advantage of this time while it's still working. and I don't have to scream at the computer to "give me a break and why can't I figure out the problem!!!"

Also I feel very fortunate that I will have some of my painting showing at the Bush Barn Art Center in Salem Oregon for the month of July and August. From July 10th to Aug. 29th   http://salemart.org/programs/bush-barn-art-center.  The center is a wonderful space for artist to show;  so if you have the time stop in to see really outstanding work by artists of the Pacific Northwest.
My friend Wendy Dehart will also be showing at the Bush Center,
http://wendydehart.com/. for the two months show.

The show will be on at the same time the Salem Arts Festival is happening, July 19th -21st.   http://salemart.org/art-fair/.  This is a premier arts festival with over 200 regional and local artists and craftspeople.

Additionally two artist friends will have booths at the Salem Arts Festival, Susan Borger a very talented fiber artist, http://susanbmade.blogspot.com/ and her painter husband Dennis Anderson, http://adennis8.wix.com/paint-site3,

The above paintings are a small sampling of a show of my 8"x8" paintings of birds that will be at the Red Magnolia Salon for the month of July and August.  The salon is located in the Alberta Arts District of Portland; located at 5011 NE 13th Ave. Portland Oregon.  http://www.redmagnoliasalon.com/, stop in and say hello to Maggie the beautiful and charming owner of the salon.  All of the pieces have some sort of collage element on the bottom and most are painted in Oils with a few done in acrylics.

FIVE CHICKADEES title"Five Amigos"

SOLD

 

I felt I couldn't give up on my blog, so I have spent several hours trying different fixes.  Something worked, just not sure what!  I did some updates to Internet Explorer and Windows, perhaps that helped; really won't know until I try and post another photo. I'll try posting again this weekend, keeping my fingers crossed the issue is gone.

 

This piece isn't large, just 18" long by 6 1/2" wide.  Done in oils and the back ground colors were inspired by one of my favorite artists; Raimonds Straprans.

 

Cold WAX and Oil Painting of a Flicker

This beautiful fellow comes to our bird feeders along with his mate from time to time. He is one of the larger woodpeckers that come to our feeders. The abstracted landscape part was done in oil and cold wax and the Flicker painted in oils.  The piece is 24"x24"
