This juried exhibition showcases original two-dimensional works of art that celebrate the artist behind the work, what the artist saw and created, "in their view", real or imagined. This means anything goes.
So pleased that these two artworks were juried into to show: "Looking at the Four Story Walkup" (ink, WC, cotton thread) 9 1/4" x 9" c2024 and "The Upper Two Floors" (ink, WC, cotton thread) 13 1/2" x 8 3/4" c2024 The beauty of traditional pen and ink is in the power of simple lines. It's a simple process, using simple tools on a piece of paper.

Recently completed this new illustration of a "baseball glove with ball". Sometimes when you decide to draw/paint/sketch/ a subject, you think "oh this will be easy" You don't realize how much detail there is OR how complicated the subject is. There was a lot more detail in this glove than I thought, it took a really long time to complete this one! I kept thinking I was finished, only to realize, another section was not complete. But finally done and I am happy with it. Brings back memories from playing baseball (slowpitch) to going to see baseball games. This year I saw MLB baseball in both Cincinnati and Pittsburg, with both ballparks in the heart of the downtown. From that image comes a new greeting card. I look forward to continuing with the sports theme... next up golf, then hockey, then curling... |
