OWA opening reception

I attended the opening reception for the Mixed Media Collage exhibit yesterday at the Norick Art Center in Oklahoma City. Kathleen Blake won the $500 Best of Show award for "Listening to the Silence". Regina Murphy and Bert Seabourn each won $200 Award of Merits. It's a very nice show with 71 pieces by 27 artists and I am proud to have my work included. I guess I should have taken my camera to take photos of the opening but I was in a hurry to leave and didn't even think about it. They had a crew there taking photos and interviewing the artists with a cam recorder to be published on the web. I reluctantly agreed to be video taped. It was pretty painless but I'm sure the severe pain will set in once I watch the video! I really need to learn how to speak intelligently about my work! I don't think I will post the link here on my blog until I have a chance to watch the video myself. I may not want to advertise it, LOL!

OWA Mixed Media Collage Exhibit

I found out yesterday that the three pieces I entered in the Mixed Media Collage show sponsored by the Oklahoma Watercolor Association were accepted! The opening reception will be Sunday, Feb. 18th from 2 to 5 pm at the Norick Art Center on the UCO campus. The pieces are "Edges of Time" , "Documents of Time", and "Time Reaches Out". I'll add photos of the work but I still haven't figured out how to add text so that it will appear under the appropriate photo.

The black and cream piece is "Documents of Time". The red, green, brown, & black piece is "Edges of Time" and the blue & golden piece with the tree is "Time Reaches Out".

I'm brand new to blogging and I haven't gotten the hang of it yet. I can't seem to get the posts in the right order so I appolgize for the confusion. Maybe I'll figure out what I'm doing in a few weeks!

Here is another piece from the Speakeasy exhibit, "Say It With Music". The following photos are the other two pieces in the show. "Dance Tunes" and "Under Lock and Key". Hopefully, I've named them appropriately so you can tell which one is which.

The Speakeasy '07 exhibit will be on display until Feb. 24, 2007.

I currently have 4 art pieces on exhibit at the City Arts Center for the Speakeasy '07 exhibit. The City Arts Center is located on the State Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City. I was one of 34 artists asked to participate in this fund raising exhibit. It is a theme exhibit and we were requested to enter pieces that reflected the atomoshpere of the roaring twenties era. I chose to make pieces with an Art Deco flavor. Champagne Gusher is the largest of the four and it was made in tribute to a famous oil gusher, The Wild Mary Sudik.
