Yesterday I dropped off 17 new plaster, oil, and cold wax paintings at Salem on the Edge<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for my show Turns of the Kaleidoscope<\/em>. The pieces range in size from 12×12 inches, up to 30×60 inches, all created to be hung on 48 feet of wall space! When I began working on this series, I had trouble imagining filling that long, blank wall. But I did it with one painting to spare. (If you happen to see the show during the month of May, ask Melanie to see the 36×48 inch piece, Life’s Distractions and Enticements<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

Rather than blather about creating the pieces, I’m going to share my process with a series of photos, after all, this is a post about an art show. Here we go . . . .<\/p>\n
