Exhibiting at Local Businesses: Starbucks

Exhibiting four of my acrylic paintings at a local businesses: Starbucks


Having businesses willing to showcase local artists in their premises is a true blessing.
I am lucky to be part of two organizations that coordinate art exhibits in local businesses: the Worthington Area Art League and the Dublin Area Art League, of which I'm the current president.

Exhibiting four of my acrylic paintings at a local businesses: Starbucks in Dublin, OH

Am member of the art league you can sign up for exhibits, one or two months at the time, depending on the location.

In March 2016 I have four of my paintings showcased at a local Starbucks.
The have a hanging system installed and the light is just phenomenal, it makes the paintings glow.

They business takes some kind of a risk opening up their walls to artists, because they have no say on who signs up and if the paintings are going to look good with their decor, but they are oh so nice all the time! Something to be very thankful for.

My paintings will be at the Dublin's Starbucks, 19 W Bridge St, Dublin, OH, until the end of March 2016.

    That's great that some local businesses exhibit paintings of talented artists. This is a real possibility to gain some profits both for artists and businesses. And money is not the only benefit here. You know what I mean, don't you?

Winter is Coming - Portrait, Acrylic on Canvas

Image
"Winter Is Coming" 12"x16" Acrylic on Canvas Available   I am really pleased with how this painting came out.  And to think that I used to be very intimidated by painting people, now I can do portraits that really resemble the model, woohoo!  :) I used a canvas that had an abstract pattern already painted on it, with the idea of covering the pattern in most areas, leaving only a few hints of it here and there. However, when I started the new painting, I really liked the pattern background and how it was peaking through everywhere, so I kept it visible as part of the composition. The model was wearing a warm scarf, and it made me smile when shortly after we got our first big snow of the year, she must have known that winter was coming, and coming soon. :)

Painting Outside Is Always a Challenge, but So Much Fun! - Yield to Pedestrian, Oil Painting

Image
"Yield to Pedestrian" Oil on Panel, 12"x16", framed Available on my website Every week I go on a plein air outing with a group led by the talented Joe Lombardo. Last weeek we did a few 10-minute studies of different views of the same park, then it started pouring and we had to flee. The 10-minute studies were fun and non-committal, I just had to get the main ideas down, no need to make a finished painting. And they were small. Easy peasy. This week, the task was to make a big painting en plein air, and finish it. What??? The weather was crappy again, and I really dislike painting rainy landscapes. I was really intimidated, so I picked a board that was big, but not huge. A 12"x16" would do. Much bigger than the usual 6"x6" I get out on rainy days. : ) But I was determined to do it. I had a strategy. :) I talked to my self in the car, on the way there. I told myself: I am fearless. I am talented. I am courageous. I am creativ

Cow on Swisse Alps - Acrylic Landscape

"High Pastures" 18" x 24" (45.7 cm x 61 cm) Acrylic on Stretched Canvas $430 It as been good getting back to the easel after too many months. I thought I forgot how to paint, I felt so rusty. But that subsided soon, thank Goodness, and the usual fun that I get with each new painting kicked in. Yay! :) Life is still too busy for my likings, some days I totally feel overwhelmed by the need of taking care of too many things. When I carve out the time to dip my brushes in paint and get creative, I forget about everything else and I enjoy it so much. :) I painted High Pastures for the painting challenge of A Day Not Wasted . Thanks Lee Brown for sharing your beautiful photos with artists and creating these stimulating challenges! I learned a lot painting my first cow and first mountains. It makes me want to paint more. I enjoyed painting this landscape so much that I even wrote an article about it, explaining the process step by step.  Prints availa
