Small Works Exhibition at Studio Pintura

Studio Pintura Artists  Small Works Exhibit

January 19^th– March 2^nd

 Last night was the opening reception for Studio Pintura's Small Works Exhibition at the Northrup King Building in NE Minneapolis (https://studiopintura.com).  I have three paintings in the show and was at the reception last night where I met four women artists who are also in the show.  I love meeting and mingling with other artist's especially when they share and you learn new things, these women did not disappoint me, they were great to talk to.  Along with the exhibition, the Northrup King Building, which is a huge warehouse filled with artist studios and galleries, had an open studio night.  I wandered for a couple of hours enjoying many of the open studios, it was overwhelming to see such quality of art work in one place!  Below are two of my pieces right after I framed and had ready to go to the show, "This Little Pig" and "Rest Stop".  I'm really pleased at the way these little paintings look when mounted on larger boards.  Again not great photos but you get the idea, to see better photos go to my gallery page at Daily Paintworks.  

Drawing Classes

I've been teaching drawing classes at the art center close by which has affected my paint time so I haven't been posting much.  On the positive side, I've been back drawing again and loving it.  I also love meeting new creative friends and helping them learn and improve their drawing skills.  Here's a photo of my class this past fall and one of my recent pencil drawings.
