"Yacht Club" original acrylic on paper Image: 14 x 21" |
This painting, "Yacht Club" is part of a local show called Bonnie and Friends. Bonnie Featherstone asked about 30 artists, from the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, to bring 2 paintings each. It's at the Ames Center in Burnsville, MN for the month of December, if you get the chance to see it. I'm so honored to be a part of such a grand show. You won't believe all the different styles. I was talking with one of the artists and he said that he wishes he could be a little looser. His paintings are so good, that they are almost photographic! I told him my story about excelling at what you consider your worst feature. He agreed with me, and we both appreciate our differences.
By the way, one of my favorite painters is Gustav Klimt. Check out how many tiny shapes he has in his paintings!!!! www.klimt.com But they are beautifully combined into big shapes and so well designed.
The words 'Oh Wow!" just popped out of my mouth when I saw this painting - it is so very cool!. Good advice about your 'worst' feature.
