A Year of Making Art, Day 331: Visiting Local Galleries
March 16, 2008 Day 331
Yesterday afternoon we went to some local art galleries. We enjoyed the annual juried photo show at the State of the Art Gallery. Laura's husband, Jim Kirsner, is a photographer, so he was interested in the variety of techniques displayed.
Next we went to Belle Melange, a relatively new gallery in Ithaca. There we were impressed with works by Mary Shelley and Kim Schrag. Kim is an abstract artist who paints in intense colors, so naturally I was attracted to her work. Fernando Llosa, another favorite, was also exhibiting at Belle Melange.
Today is a Sunday, so we slept in and I got a late start. That's fine, because I've been too tense lately and need to slow down. In my drawing this morning I started with black, but soon moved freely into more color:
Drawing #338 14" x 11"
Tomorrow I am shipping the original painting of "I Fancy":
