Hello everyone! This is my new piece, another Day of the Dead inspired painting. I have been given the wonderful opportunity of creating a couple little paintings for a show at Borealis Arts. This is a gallery here in Tucson which is owned by my boyfriend's brother Nathan and his wife Brandi.
They invited me to bring in "Spooky Little Friend," but I was fortunate enough to have that one sell right away in my shop. So of course I jumped at the opportunity to create a couple more paintings just for the show! As part of the show they will be building a little shrine honoring loved ones who have passed on, and my pieces will go on or near that shrine as I understand it. I am very excited to have my paintings in a gallery for the first time! :) The show is called "Arte de los Muertos." It opens October 15 and goes until November 17.
I plan on doing two more paintings. I don't have a name for this one yet, I may have to enlist the help of some of my Spanish-speaking friends. And of course any suggestions, in English or Spanish, are welcome! :) Any paintings that don't sell in the show will go into my etsy shop when it is over.
Here is another little painting which I have had in the shop for a couple of days already, called "The Candy Corn Bandit"! She is painted on a little 5"x5" stretched canvas and is available here.
I hope that you are all having a wonderful week, and I'll see you soon! :)
Goodness, goodness me!!! Aargh! Your new shine is blinding me, Lauren! Really, I think I'm your number one fan now... Can you see me here up front? I'm the one with the giant finger foam!! (^_^)
ReplyDeleteSeriously. You are seriously emerging.
(hugs!)
Just wanted you to know that I finally posted about the beautiful painting that I won during the Mad Hatter Tea Party. My granddaughter is absolutely in love with her. It's all about fairies and princesses these days. She even looks like Kate and the colors are perfect for her room. We will treasure her forever.
