an extended visit

to his space.
to paint.

on my wall

yesterday, the wall above my computer became a whole lot brighter. i count myself extremely lucky to have collected these paintings from some of my favorite artists.

every year art access gallery hosts its 300 plates fundraiser and exhibition in may. last year, 82 established and emerging artists were invited to create a work of art on a 10" x 11" recycled metal printer's plate. the first painting hung is $65 and each painting thereafter increases sequentially in one dollar increments. its an incredible way to purchase an affordable and favorite piece of art. i'm eagerly anticipating the show and possibly adding a new piece to my art wall.

+ inspiring me and making me happy:

my amazingly talented friend, chelsea james, is opening next friday night at coda gallery in park city. this is a small glimpse of the many beautiful landscape paintings she will be showing. i love her colors, mark making, layering of paint and especially the emotion that each piece evokes. i am so excited for her and can't wait to attend. please don't miss this one, february 27th 6-9 pm.

also, her lovely website.
