Artful Gifts Nov.20 Art Dialogue Gallery 7:30-9

Posted on November 16th, 2009

I have been working hard these past few weeks on small works of art to sell in Xmas gift shows at local Buffalo galleries. These types of shows can be fun. I love to work large and have space to paint and add collage. So when I work on these 5″ x 7″ small paintings it is a big challenge. The scale of images have to be small and yet work as a whole composition. This can be hard for me if I do not lay out the design first in pencil. I then start to layer pieces of collage into the paint adding just enough so its not overworked. When working a white matt put over the piece helps me not to add too much. I am still interested in graffiti and try to include type or lettering in the work . Hope you get a chance to come and see my more than 10 new works in this show. It runs until Dec 30th.
