Creating a painting is only one part of being an artist. Getting painting out into the world is another.. With that in mind I have decided to submit three paintings for consideration to Studio Place Arts in Barre, Vermont for their upcoming 12 x 12 (inches) show that will run from June 16 through July 25.These flowers were painted at the Vermont Studio Center during my January residency.
The Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, Vermont is a place like no other, an artists' colony where visual artist and writers work, recharge their creative battery, and live in community.
While there, I began to work with soft pastels, created small sculptures with found material, (including the beetle I posted earlier, worked on a series of oil paintings, including this one, painted with a very dark pallet, ate incredible meals, had wonderful conversations with many residents and returned home energized, inspired and rested.
