life energy lotus #159

I finished this piece yesterday. I am not sure how I feel about it. It is the second piece like it, and I let it go it's own way, but I think I like the first one better.
I think I like the more realistic flowers rather than these designed lotus flowers.
It is a step though.

group show at studio 2 gallery

So both Leon and I have been accepted into this juried exhibit at the studio 2 gallery.
It wasn't hard, our friend and fellow artist Mo Scollan, (former gallery owner of the 2040 gallery), served as the guest curator.
If you have never been to this gallery check it out. It is on South Lamar, right next to yogayoga south and Holland photo. Tina Weitz runs the show over there and she is doing a great job.

The opening reception for this exhibit will be on Saturday, February 27th, 6:30-9:30pm.
There will also be a written word event at the gallery on Saturday, March 13th at 5pm.

#156 life energy mandala

#154 life energy mandala

I just finished this piece this morning. Revisiting ideas from the past. This painting is 16x16 inches, oil on panel. The finish is fairly flat. I think the next one will have some glossy areas and maybe some overlays.
