Nautilus

Here is a new miniature painting (5x7). It is acrylic and gold leaf on canvas. This painting will be displayed at Nansemond-Suffolk Academy as part of their annual Art Show.

New Art

This year is flying by as fast as 2009 did. January is a busy month for me, I am participating in three different shows and have been painting to get ready for them. Here are two of the new pieces, both are mixed media.

I will be posting in the next couple of days with show information.

Seawall Art Show

Come out and see my new art this weekend at the Seawall Art Show http://tinyurl.com/nc9clu. Info can also be found on my website http://www.lauragibbs-studio.com/ .

The image on the left is a new painting called "Rocky Mountain Glow". It is mixed media on illustration board and is framed to 16 1/2 x 36. This is a different format for me and a lot of fun.

The image on the right is also new. It is called "Strata" and is acrylic on paper, framed to 22x29.

Anticipation

This is another of my recent works, mixed water media on handmade paper. It was based on figure drawings during a session with a model, Misha had such interesting costumes, she was so much fun to draw and to paint.

Intrepid

New art work from this summer - acrylic on gold leaf. Lots of fun to paint, another new surface to work with.
