This Saturday I will be giving a workshop for CPSA DC115 titled “Evoking Mood with Neocolors and Colored Pencil”, and I’ve got an area in my studio filled up with all my prep materials. Like laying out pieces prior to a show, it’s always fun to see everything all at once, together. Read more »

Last week we attended the CPSA 18th Annual International Exhibition at the Art Museum of Los Gatos, California. This was my fourth acceptance into the annual show, but my first time attending the convention earlier in the week so that I could see the entrant’s slide show and participate in the silent auction. I was really impressed by the quality of all the entries, and it was also very interesting to see the second piece submitted for artists who were accepted (you can submit two, but if accepted, only 1 is chosen). Having not been to the gallery yet at the time of the slide show, it was also fun to try and guess which of the two pieces were accepted, for artists that I knew were in the show. The slide show is presented in the much the same way that the awards are during the banquet; a reader projects the work on a screen, reads the title, artist’s name, and artist’s location. I think it’s great that everyone who submits gets to have their work viewed and recognized.
