Painting in the Park

I have been trying to think up ways to take my art to the people.  Another artist had shared with me his experience of painting in parks and even a beach in Italy where he met his wife, while painting.  He told me people would come up and ask what I was doing and basically a crowd would form around me.  Ha, I say.  I did not cause a riot or get bombarded with people clamoring to get to me.  I actually had one child come over to see my watercolors since she had painted with those in school.  I had a nice conversation with her and her nanny. 

However, I did enjoy painting in the park and getting out of the studio.  Taking my art to the people, not so much.  Maybe I picked the wrong park. 

Any ideas on where I can paint next?

Art Show Observations

My recent art show has come and gone.  The paintings still hang on the walls of the Arts Center, but for all intents and purposes the show is over.  Months of planning and painting come down to one night of people milling around drinking and eating.  A show is considered a success if you have lots of people, a bar, and food.

It is interesting to watch people at an art show.  They of course get a drink first and then walk around kind of looking at art.  Kind of looking at the art.  It is almost like they don't want anyone to know they are looking at the art.  It is like they don't want to be caught looking at it. 

Go to an art show sometime and see what I mean.  Of course, get a drink first.  

An Abstract Cityscape Artist in Mississippi

Being an abstract artist is difficult enough anywhere you are located, but being an abstract cityscape artist in Mississippi raises the level of difficulty from a 5.0 to a 10.0.

I am not against Southern landscapes and fruit bowl still lifes. I have done my share of both.

I took on abstract cityscapes as my focus because I found it to be a unique way to express my thoughts on society and city life. I have found my voice through cityscapes.
