Art show this weekend
Getting ready for an art show this coming weekend. This one is the Port Warwick Art & Sculpture Festival in Newport News, VA. I have been painting a lot, but have had to put the unfinished ones on hold so that I can pack up the paintings that I will be taking with me this weekend.
The show is October 11-12, 2014 Sat, 10am - 6pm – Sun, 10am - 5pm. More information may be found here

What I did with my summer vacation
I know summer isn't really over, however, I participate in an art show (Seawall Art Show) that is always the weekend before Labor Day. Since the Labor Day weekend is generally the unofficial end of summer, I consider the art show to be mine.
This summer was very busy at times. I took a trip to Alaska with my sister. We took a cruise that left from Seattle, so we were able to see a few things there as well. Alaska was wonderful, it is one of my all time favorite vacations.
I also painted quite a bit, seven new paintings. I will have all of them at the Seawall Art Show in Portsmouth, VA on August 23rd and 24th. More information on this will be posted in a couple of days.
Most of my work this summer is in water color, gouache, and water color crayons. The painting shown above, Seeking Pythagoras, used these three media on a surface of Yupo synthetic paper. It is 16x20 framed under glass.

Urban Cartography
Urban Cartography |
I recently decided to revisit using Yupo as a painting surface. Yupo is interesting in that it is basically plastic made to receive paint. It is like painting on glass in that it is completely non-absorbent. The paint sits on the surface of the paper which makes layering a bit tricky. It is essential to have the ratio of pigment and water just right. If you want more information on this challenging material, you can find it here http://www.yupousa.com/paper/index.php.
