University Club Show

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted. Here are a couple of photos of the show at the University Club in Winter Park. I had 28 paintings in the show - all watercolors. It ran through the month of September.

Here is a photo and close up shot of the bra I designed for "Braz for a Cauz." Florida Hospital is calling for artistically designed bras that will be acutioned and funds applied to underserved women getting access to annual mammograms. My design continues my garden theme from recent paintings, and has a sort of Victorian appeal.

I am posting this larger because it's on a full size sheet of watercolor paper. I really enjoyed working large for a change (about 22"x 29"). I hadn't done a figure for some time so that was a nice change too. I liked working with the contrasts between the smooth white fabric and organic jumble of florals, but think the most successful part is the unfinished watercolor look in the background.

Just for fun I've been cutting plastic grocery bags into strips and crocheting bags and rugs - here are a couple of samples.

This is the finished painting that I was working on as the photo was taken at the Maitland Art Center. I started it with just some blobs of yellow and pink and then continued to add negative space lines and shapes.

These are recent paintings that were begun at the Tom Jones workshop last month. They are currently a part of my exhibit on display at the Winter Park Hospital.

This is the abstract floral that will be displayed at the Maitland Art Center for the "PARTICIPATION" event May 3-16th. I was delighted to be chosen as one of the 25 artists to be featured for this big annual fundraiser at MAC. It will be fun to do paintings in the park Saturday, the 16th, for patrons who buy my time at auction.
