Openings!

This is the last painting in the series. It's called "Never what I expected" and that's actually my mom in the foreground and me in the background. I got the colors and trees from this day I was driving into Edmond (where I live) from Oklahoma City. The grass was all brown and even and the colors of the ground and the sky were perfectly in tune muted colors-bluish green and tan. Then the cone shaped evergreen trees plopped here and there in the grass weren't green but really dark deep brown and it looked perfect. They matched the colors of the crows flying (if only in my mind). The crows in this one are small and flying away to signify literally the ending of this series but also the relief and lightness I felt at the moment of the composition. Anyway, It's one of my favorites.

So this week and next week are the openings for the Art 365 exhibition and I'm so excited to be done and actually see everything complete and installed in the gallery with other people milling around and talking about my work and everyone else's work and all our blood sweat and tears from the last year. So if you can make it, come to Untitled ArtSpace this Friday or next Friday!! See you then...
