Eat, Drink and... breath easy

      Engagement #3 for artwork from Studio-G was the most festive of openings as it was a celebration towards transition. This engagement is the last major collection of work scheduled to exhibit for the year. There will be future shows where new work will be shown but most of them are group shows.

    In the mean time I will be dedicating most of my time to working outside the studio en plein air to create a new body of work which will begin showing this autumn. There are many engagements already on the summer schedule for painting as well as a few projects yet to be revealed from both the studio as well as the drawing board so stay tuned to keep up with the latest postings and creations... from Studio-G.

Post Fling Party

   Art enthusiasts circled the tables at the Two Waters Alliance "Spring Fling" event last weekend. Guests enjoyed harp music, wine/martini bar and a nice variety of prepared foods while taking in the two exhibitions, boutique and auction items to benefit art programs in schools.

Red Sketchbook 6x9 with pocket in back

My apologies to fans and clients... a very important creation/sketchbook of mine has been out of my possession for the last 7 days. I believe somebody else holds that which has many personal drawings and memories of people, places and pets long passed. If anybody has found this sketchbook and gone to this blog (there are postcards in the pocket to advertise my/this blog) I ask that the "finder/protector" please return my sketchbook soon as it is much more than a collection of art to me.
   You can contact me through this blog's email address: gypsieartist@hotmail.com or if you prefer to be more discrete you can return it to the vicinity of departure: the Nichols Center. The building is open every Wednesday morning at 9 am as there is a social gathering (not mine) in the back room while the front 2 rooms are empty. As you walk in the front door go to the 1st room on the right and you will find an open cabinet with (6?) lower drawers on the far right/back wall (no windows or chalkboards on that wall) . The top right drawer has art magazines/books (much better than my work) where you can leave the red 6x9. I will start checking each Wednesday  after 1 pm to see if you have found/returned it. I hope once you find this blog that you realize those people and places (while they may be cool to look at) are my (now lost) memories that belong with me and are greatly missed.

HUB: co-featured artist...Spring Fling: juried Show and auction... Chair Affair:auction piece

Another month, another venue, another excuse to have a party... or 3!
 Studio-G is on the move...    

                 
     Starting with an art event, Spring Fling  benefiting art programs in schools, I will have a mask, some juried paintings as well as a few "surpriseses" at this event this weekend at K.P. Civic Center. (Go to their website for ticket info.)

   Next weekend is the Chair Affair,  an auction to benefit the furniture bank in Tacoma. (See previous posting for my contribution and their website for ticket info).

"Alki Lighthouse" 9x12 oil on gessoboard

And last, but already showing, is a collection of 10 paintings at The HUB part of Harmon Brewing Co in Tacoma.  Cathie Johnson and I are featured artists for the months of April and May. Opening party TBA (See website for directions or more info).                               As if April wasn't a party month already (it is my brother and my birthdays) it will be like running from one party to another this month with all the festivities so between that and a few more deadlines Plein Air season will (believe it or not) have a little less intensive start than last year. Stay tuned for the latest creations and more art-ventures... from Studio-G!

Bubo virginianus saturatus



Owl mask#1-12x18



  Next piece to fly out of Studio-G is a 2nd sculptural mask piece emerging from its nest to complete the last spring creations in 3-D. This piece is made from hand sculpted copper (no heat), paint, birch and grapevine. Although there is another owl in the works of copper, it's unlikely that completion will conclude until late fall.
