Wineries and Cafes

Dear Friends,

This month I am exhibiting several pieces of artwork at Filters Coffee Shop in Hillcrest, CA.  I have 10 pieces on display until August 15, 2012. Stop by for a mini show of my work :)

I attended the art show at the 57 Street winery this month.  It was nice to see such variety of artwork on display. The winery has a nice feel to it, so I'm hoping to submit some of my work for exhibit here in the next few months. I was happy to see people actually buying art and appreciating the artwork.

This month my artwork "Museum" will be on exhibit at the Escondido Municipal Art Gallery until August 3, 2012.

I am looking forward to the art reception as it follows the poetry reception, where the publication publishing my artwork and the Mary Lenore Quigley's poem will be available.

Until next time...

With Love,
Glad

Crazy Art Scene in L. A.

Dear Friends,

I hope you are enjoying your summer.  This summer I had the opportunity to exhibit my artwork in Los Angeles at the Chocolate & Art Show.  It has been a long time since I have shown my art in an L. A. gallery.  I forgot how different and fun Los Angeles art receptions could be.   There were about 700 people attending the show and the art was a wide range of subjects and mediums.  
While in Los Angeles I attended the first gallery I showed my artwork back in 1985, at Barnesdall Park.  I remember the excitement of having my first work of art on display.  I was tempted to participate in their next art show.

I received the news that my artwork "Collage" was chosen by Poet Mary L. Quigley for her poem "Life's Portals" and it will be published along with her poem in the publication "Summation IV".  Very exciting for me :)

Until the next blog entry...

Love,
Glad

Exhibiting Again

Goddess Collage, Mix media 12" x 12" on canvas


Hello Friends,

In December my artwork "Collage" was on exhibit at the Escondido Municipal Art Gallery. It was the first time I exhibited my work at this gallery.  Previously I had done so at the Escondido Art Association.  I was at the Artist reception and it is always nice to meet other artist, and see their creations.

In January I took sometime off and went to Monterey, CA. I had a wonderful week there. I went to the next town, Carmel, which is full of beautiful art galleries. I visited every single one and saw much beauty. Unfortunately it seems like some of them are going out of business due to the economy, which was surprising to see.

I also went to Pacific Grove, CA, to their Art Association there and met a wonderful photographer, by the name of Jean Brenner. Her photography exhibit on "The Faces of Islam" is wonderful to see. I was lucky that she was there and that she gracefully took time to explain some of the history behind her photos.

I'm looking forward to a year of art :)

Love,
Glad
