28th Regional Artists Exhibition for Western NY

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.
