June 2013

Monday June 24, 2013
Just got back from a great one day workshop by Bonnie Cutts, a mixed media art instructor who demonstrates Golden Paints.
This workshop was about using acrylic mediums and paints used in watermedia paintings. Bonnie explained things in such a way that the average person can learn to navigate tackling these wonderful new products. We made reference material charts to use in the future that demonstrated how each gel, medium, and paint interacted. Most of us were excited about using one of the new mediums and we practiced on our canvas paintings.
My Ten Brushes art group had this class at the Studio 321, Northrup King Building, Northeast Minneapolis with @Lisa Fertig (her group studio).
I hope to add a photo of one of my creations to this blog soon.

I have just received news that two of my submissions were accepted into the statewide Minnesota, Marvel exhibition at the Franklin Arts Center, Residents Artist Gallery, Brainerd, MN. July 5 - July 27, 2013. I will post more info about this in my events notice soon.




The month is rolling on with art opportunities.

My Central Minnesota Watercolorist group hung a new month-long show (June) at the St. Cloud Hospital in a special hallway for art.
Art is on location to be viewed by all who pass through the corridor and it is for sale through the gift shop. I have one large still life floral on display.

Summertime in Minnesota is a new state-wide show in Little Falls at the Great River Arts Main Gallery. The show has been hung and will be up thru July 13. Two of my pieces have been juried into the exhibition. Reception is June 29 5-7 pm

I am gathering the info, finding suitable Minnesota themed pieces, and preparing to enter the ‘Minnesota, Marvel’
an upcoming Juried Art Show at the Franklin Arts Center Resident Artists Gallery in Brainerd, MN

Green Prairie Community Art Committee is Seeking Artwork for New Residence Hall, University of MN Morris - I'm gathering for that also. They want to buy art so have been painting suitable pieces.

David Rickert 25-Year Retrospective / Clearance, had his reception on Saturday. We are both part of the GRAA Visual Arts Committee and I filled a car with art loving folks and we went to Staples, MN to be supportive of Dave.

Call for Art - Minnesota State Fair Fine Arts Exhibition 2013 - I hope they chose my art! Digital entries are screened first then selections are made.

I have a workshop coming up in a couple of weeks toward the end of the month - learning to use acrylic products that Golden Paints make - instructor Bonnie Cutts. My Ten Brushes group decided to work on abstract art. Many of us would like to be skilled in this cathegory of art making also.
