Pandemic Exhibit

Pandemic Exhibit May 16 and the shelter in place regulations resulting from the pandemic of Covid Virus are beginning to be lifted. On Monday morning Tandem Bagels in Mankato will reopen. They have cleaned the store and marked the floor and ask everyone in the store to wear a mask. I took 10 of my cold wax paintings to show on their wall. After getting them all together and reevaluating them, I decided that the paintings needed new identities. So these paintings all have new titles that reflect this pandemic time. The whole wall at Tandem Bagels, Mankato Symptoms Covid Lockdown Sundown Socially Distanced Covid Moons (top) and Covid Mind (sold) Dance of the Covid Virus Covid Code (sold) Tandem Bagels supports me as an artist. Please support all our small businesses.They are the life blood of our towns.

Time for an up date. While we were in Florida, I wrote and submitted a grant request to the Prairie Lakes Regional Center for the Arts. I found out in March that I received the grant. I just returned from Italy where I attended an artists' retreat concentrating on abstracts using cold wax and oil. Now I will pass on some of that knowledge to other artists who are interested in exploring the medium too.  It was a great workshop put on by Serena Barton, author of Wabi-Sabi Painting with Cold Wax. http://wabisabiartworkshop.blogspot.com/  These paintings were done while in Tuscany. All in just 5 days. We were so productive. I am sure that it was because of the other students were so creative too. It was an amazing time.

What do you do?

What could we do when our collections get to big for our home, studio and garage? Buy one big huge space that we can share as a  Gallery Garage!  Last Friday night we had an open house at our new space so that our friends could see what we have done to combine our passions. Dan's cars and trucks drew a good crowd. And finally lots of those people could see and hopefully appreciate my works of art. Since I have made several large paintings I needed a place to show them and keep them from getting damaged. The huge white walls of the garage are a perfect place to hang them. They show off really well and some of the colors even blend well with Dan's collection of beautiful Corvettes and trucks. A birds eye view. 68 Chevy Truck, 99 Corvette, 38 Dodge, 86 McLaren, and my art on the wall.  03 Silverado SS truck and 09 Corvette on the lift. My art on the wall.
