ALWAYS ANOTHER BEGINNING

Yes, there is always a new beginning, and this is it for me...I've begun another 48" x 18" layer painting with Mt. Evans as the up top star...I've got some good ideas already as I move downward...Stay tuned!

BID FOR HOSPICE!

The bidding has begun for the Mask Project 2012!  The masks are on display at the Cherry Creek Mall and the proceeds go to the Denver Hospice...a great cause!  Close to heart for me this year as my dad is not doing well and he is on my heart and my mind a LOT lately!    SO, f you want a treat take a break from regular life and see them all at the Cherry Creek Mall here in the Denver area!!

And, it's time for MY break to be over...so back to painting!!

HAPPY CREATING!!

"GOLF IN THE ROCKIES" ORIGINAL MIXED MEDIA PAINTING OF A GOLF COURSE © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY

"Golf in the Rockies"

10" x 20" mixed media on canvas

ON HOLD

I'm really laughing about this painting.  It was done at the request of the Deer Creek Golf Club in Littleton...well, they requested of the Ken Caryl Art Guild to do golf themed paintings and so we decided to do it at least once.  This painting started out with sand traps and such but I HATED all those sand colored blobs in there, so after I kept changing it it turned into a landscape with a single flag and golf hole...that's all I could bear to put in there!! HA...So, I guess this will be my only golf themed painting...Not a fan of the subject matter...HOWEVER I was a fan of playing with acrylics in little bottles with line tips...you'll have to click on it to see the detail...THAT was fun!!

I'm also laughing about the frame I got...It is not my typical metal frame...it is a wood frame I got at Hobby Lobby...Well, when I got it home I hated the color, so started sanding and painting and currently it is a MESS...so, I will play some more and come up with a solution that I like better...AAAHHH life!!  All in all...FUN DOINS!!

HAPPY CREATING!

I'm still busy on my golf related painting that is due Wednesday.  It was a kind of quick slip in before Bugs Eye View as the show came up and I'm not likely to have golf related art just sitting around my studio...So, I thought I'd bring out a piece I especially love.  My paper cast aspen are in this and I love working in a little 3-d.  You can't see it here, but the trees are a bit 3-D and I've put them in a shadow box frame!

I'm happy to report that I've signed on with a new and most wonderful gallery in Louisville, Co called CREATIONS ART and GIFTS.  I've left a few pieces with them and am preparing for a larger show in June, so stay tuned for the details.  I absolutely love the combination of work they have in this gallery, so I invite you to stop by for some wonderful example of art which includes the 3-D as well with pottery and jewelry.  There is a lot more going on up north than you may think!  I hear they will be starting workshops soon as well!

So, it's back to my golf piece...

HAPPY CREATING!
