In Anticipation of My Last Birthday; mixed-media on glass and panel, 26" x 32"
It
is always good to be appreciated (okay, maybe it's better when the
appreciation comes through selling artwork), and I'm glad that one of my
two artworks gained entry into the 28th Regional Artists Exhibition for
Western New York. The exhibit will be on display from August 23 to
September 27 at the Artists Group Gallery on North Street in Buffalo,
NY.
The judge was UB Photography professor John Opera, who selected my
mixed-media artwork In Anticipation of My Last Birthday.
In Anticipation
is another experiment in mixed-media, using glass as one of the drawing
surfaces. This was the first time I used glass though not the first
time I used a transparent surface, having used an acrylic sheet a few
times previously. Not only does it give another obvious physical
dimension to the visual, but offers other opportunities as to how to
compose on two 2-D levels.
