Hot in Fort Lauderdale - BAG Gallery Show

Last night was a beautiful HOT South Florida night; perfect for the opening reception of the Landscape and Still Life exhibit at the Broward Art Guild! Below are some of my favorite artworks from the show, which are on display through Aug 22 in the Gallery...

Second Place! My favorite mixed media landscape.

Lynn Greenberg's whimsical landscape. What a beautiful frame, too! :)

OMG, this is a PASTEL! Beautiful.

GLITTER everywhere in this highly textured painting! LUV!

Love the movement in this acrylic abstract landscape.

Such an interesting still life by Ken Harrison.

Busy With Galleries...

Yesterday was a busy Gallery day! In the early part of the day I finished up a 3 panel painting (triptych), which I later submitted to a Landscape and Still Life show. They went out the door so fast I didn't have a chance to take pictures! The set is a very soft suggestive landscape called "upland", 24 in x 36 in x 2.5 in; I promise pictures next weekend from the show.

I attended 3 Openings last night! The first was a visit to Studio Henning Haupt to view guest artist Adam Collier Noel's ARTAFACT/ARTIFICE show. WOW! His artwork was spectacular, utilizing vintage photos and transfers for an organic, antique look. Here are pictures:

Even though Henning was not at his studio last night as he was attending another opening of his artworks in the FAT Village ArtWalk, some of his magnificent oil paintings were in residence...

Next door to Studio Henning Haupt, the MAC Fine Art Gallery had an opening as well. Here are my favorites from that show:

 Fantastic sculpture made from plastic toy parts!

Dimensional landscapes carved out of mini magazines.

And last, and certainly the highlight of the night, was the "Summer Heat V" opening in Wilton Manors at the Rossetti Gallery (http://tomrossetti.com/) where Adam, from the Studio Henning Haupt opening, won the Best In Show! It was a pleasure to spend the Rossetti opening with several of my artist friends, Tatiana Cast (mixed media painting) and Sandra Canning (fine art photography). Here's one last picture from last night with Tatiana and me in front of her painting, 'Beyond', with Sandra's photograph above:
