Ready To Go!

Pin It

"Hawaii", Oil, 8" x 16"
$800 framed.

All of the paintings for my show are framed and ready for delivery tomorrow. Yippee. I am really excited about the show and I have to admit, the unique idea and the extra work that came with it was absolutely worth it. I have learned so much about the history of South Pasadena as I spent days looking at past issues of the newspaper. I have found that the paintings I painted of the places that are dear to me ... turned out the best! No big surprise there. Oh ... and good news. I already sold one of the paintings. I had a private showing in my dining room tonight!
I will post the paintings on Wednesday when the show opens. If you are in South Pasadena, please stop by! I will be at the SoPas Gallery this Saturday from 6:00 - 9:00 pm and at the gallery the following Saturday (May 8th) for the Artist Reception.
I am heading to Hawaii next Sunday for a few days with my favorite client. I am actually going over two days early for a little R&R and plein air painting before we begin our site inspection for a big incentive trip in October. I love the Big Island so it should be so much fun! So ... posting this Hawaii painting made sense today!

Hi Leslie.
Wonderful painting as usual. I don`t know how you manage to complete all your palette knife paintings with the knife. I have`to complete with a brush. Well done and all the best.
Vic.

Your art concept of mixing locations and headlines is ingenious. Hope the book is selling well. Hawaii is one of the places I hope to travel some day. Also wanted to let you know I tried to share the blogtalkradio a number of times on my blog and it just wouldn't let me. Tried for over a half hour various ways... I will enlist my 17 year old son and see if he can figure it out. Wonder if others are having problems "sharing" it?
