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.

Singing Hills Project

Image
This past year I volunteered to help with the Singing Hills Chorus. This is a chorus for people with various forms of dementia. Our brains may deteriorate in many ways but our love of music and our memories of the joy music brings to us stays with us. Each week for 14 weeks we gather to sing and practice for a concert spring and fall. Last spring our pianist, Dale Anderson, wrote a song, especially for our choir. It was called, "Sakata, Singing Hills." Sakata is singing hills in the Dakota language. The song was especially inspiring to me. Several of the verses stirred my painterly imagination. Within 4 weeks I had painted four 1-foot by 4-foot panels visualizing the musical images. We displayed the paintings at our reception and that day 3 of them were sold. Inspiration is everywhere. And we artists are always looking for those special times that strike our creativity. I thank God for the special Singing Hills (available) The Sun Shines Bright (sold) Sun Sets

I Did Win!

Image
My last entry was called Winning! and I must have been sending out more good vibes than I thought! Because the painting, "The Balm of Rain," was accepted at the Prairie Lakes Regional Show and the juror awarded it 4th place. I will receive a cash prize also.  Cool. The opening is Friday night, October 7, but I have had the opportunity to see the painting hung at the show. I got a prime spot in the gallery too. Winning! This image is a crop of the larger painting. I love the textures I can get with the cold wax. I added some ground marble to the paint to make it thicker and able to make sweet textures.
