finished piece and a few more exhibits

I finally got around to finishing up a pastel piece I've been working on.  Work being crazy busy and a sick household have made it near impossible to work on any art the last couple of weeks.  So nice to get some balance back and make a little time for it.  Here's a pic..

So many interesting shows going on right now in the area...

Thinkspace has "Picks of the Harvest" going on now through the 24th.  They're showing work from about 60 different artists that they've been watching over the last year.  Some that I've been eyeing myself...Anthony Clarkson, Caitlin Hackett, DAL, Glenn Arthur, Michael Shapcott, and Nathan DeYoung.

Anthony Clarkson - Sorrow's Song

Glenn Arthur - She Takes Flight on a Loveless Zephyr

I just came across David Walker's art, who's also showing at the "Picks of the Harvest" exhibit.  This guy's technique for layering spray paint is awesome.  Jason Thielke is another pick who's style is really unique.

Jason Thielke - Come Back to Me

Amy Sol has an opening on March 10th at Corey Helford Gallery. 

Amy Sol - Water Dragon

Also March 10th, NC Winters has an opening at Gallery 1988's Venice location.  This is another artist that's new to me, but I'm happy to have come across.  For the show, he's created some really detailed works that reference old school video games and movies. 

There's a few more shows coming up in the next month or two that are definitely worth checking out.  I'll post more details soon.

~ eye should make time to create a little art each day, even if I'm only able to squeeze in 15 minutes.  It's probably good for my newly-aching wrists too, to get off the computer for a few and pick up a paint brush or pencil ; )
