In my last post I mentioned that I want my art to “get out of town.” Here’s an update! A new piece of my mixed media work is going to Wayne, PA. Wayne is a suburb on “the mainline” outside of Philadelphia. “Reigning Cats & Dogs” is a juried show sponsored by the Wayne Art Center that will open April 6th. I am so pleased that my painting of my beloved dog Sophie was juried into the show. Sophie is posed on Mom’s favorite chair with my parakeet Petie perched on her head. I think I captured Sophie’s patient expression and I know I can read her mind. (Get this darn bird off of my head!)
The show’s jurors are: a very accomplished portrait artist named Garth Harrick and a sculptor named Jennifer Frudakis.100 pieces were selected from the 300+ entries. The opening promises to be exciting. It’s pricey ticket predicts it is going to be a bit more than a hunk of cheese and a box of wine. Mark and I plan to attend the opening on a much anticipated long weekend! We are very much looking forward to a get away with a chance to see the sights. High on my list is a visit to Chadd’s Ford to once again look at the work of NC and Andrew Wyeth in person.
I am also fortunate again to be represented in “The 46th Juried Art Exhibition” at The Fitton Center in Hamilton. Both pieces I submitted were accepted. You may notice that parakeet Petie makes another appearance. The opening is this Saturday from 2-4 with awards at 3. I am happy for my friend Kent Krugh as he won an Honorable Mention for one of his gorgeous photographs. I did not win an award but feel very grateful to be represented. Pictured below are the pieces you can view until May 31. If you have not yet visited The Fitton Center, you should. It is on the river in Hamilton and a beautiful facility that sponsors exciting shows for the entire family. They also offer a wide variety of classes.
