Lunar Horizon
12 x 12 Acrylic on Panel
This weeks submission has a dual purpose. In addition to being my IF submission, this painting will be donated to Stephen F Austin State University's art department as part of its 12 x 12 scholarship fundraiser. I participated in this event last year and really enjoyed the event as well as the opportunity to exhibit alongside quite a few very talented East Texas artists. I also brought home a beautiful painting by Peter Andrews, a very gifted artist and instructor at SFA.
Now if I could just get someone to offer me a scholarship to finish my MAAE degree. If anyone knows of scholarships for middle-aged high school art teachers, with excellent grades, working on a Masters degree, let me know!
Below is a second painting that I am donating as well. This was inspired by a bird that has built a nest in my bicycle basket. I have agreed to let her stay there until her babies have fledged. It is too hot to ride a bicycle now anyway. :)

I especially like the nest. Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteYour Lunar Horizon sends a chilly yet mesmerizing vibe, I really do like it. The clouds seem to be slowly drifting away in the sky. Very beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteReally really love the nest but I must admit a bit of a thing for red! Nice that mother bird feels so comfortable so close to the ground I think!
ReplyDeletethe lunar horizon is just LOVELY.

ReplyDeleteI also participated in the 12 x 12 show. I just wanted to let you know how much I liked your birds nest. I was to the left of you - cloud scape with the nails. :)
