The shows at The Glen, and Gold Coast were fan-dang-tabulous! The weather was gorgeous, the surrounding art was great, and I got bunches-o-work done! In fact, I got so much done over these past two weeks that it'll have to be spread over a few subsequent "noozleddars"!
(right) First, I thought I'd share "wet board". This is a 36"x36" on wood panel I painted whilst showing in downtown Chicago. I had planned on doing another green apple piece, but wanted to pursue my preferred type of 'off the board' composition. Then in considering the remaining negative space, it occurred to me to simply make it 'wet', since those water droplets seem to be so appreciated by viewers! :-)
This urban
adventure has been fun for Roderick Jr. and myself . For instance for the Gold Coast
show, our booth was a half-block away from the famed Chicago "L" (elevated
subway) - see the upper left corner of the picture below. We've taken much advantage of this mode-o-transpo
during our visit around Chicago (see more pix further down).
