At the North River Arts Society, they have a fun event that's coming up. Artists get an 8x8 inch square of foamboard and they have to think Outside The Box (or OTB) when they make a piece of art on it. The pieces are not signed, rather they are assigned a number, and throughout August people can bid via Silent Auction on them. So I was working on mine, and there's NO WAY I'm putting it up here, but I'll show you my brainstorm pieces - and my submission is inspired by one of these.
The Opening is open to the public (and a good time will be had by all, I assure you!) and is the 7th at 7 p.m. Join us if you can!
Also: below, my Ammo For The Donut Wars:
Happy Birthday to my son, Conor!
I love your brainstorm pieces, Kelley. I especially like the one at top with all the beautiful colors. You have a great feel for abstracts.
ReplyDeleteThese pieces are wonderful! I know yours was fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI think you will win! I really like your depiction of the fabric, and like the red peeking through. Nice painting!
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy...thinking outside the box & fighting a donut war. Love all the pieces, can't wait to see the final painting.
ReplyDeleteGreat pieces Kelley! Best of luck! Happy B-day to Conor as well. A family member shares the same name. I love that name. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteCannot wait to see the frosting fly!
ReplyDeleteHmmm....very interesting pieces Kelley. Can't imagine what the finished piece is.
ReplyDeleteWonderful paintings! Your abstracts have energy and beautiful colors! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI continue to love the Donut War of 2010!
Love the abstracts - isn't it fun! Know you will prevail on the donut wars.
ReplyDeleteYou guys - I didn't even THINK about the stacked donut boxes and the title of this post!
ReplyDeleteOh oh... ammunition. Think I may be in trouble. Better gear up my arsenal. (what in the world are in the boxes?)
ReplyDeleteWhat's tomorrow going to bring Kelley?
Can't wait to see what your piece will be Kelley.
ReplyDeleteYour donut wars have me cracking up and I am not surprised that you now have ammo!!
What a cool/fun event...love all of your pieces.
ReplyDeleteSo relieved to see you've stocked up on D-Ammo. This could get ugly, as in stomach aches,lethargy and the desire to act like Barney Fife.
But beautifully painted! I like the way the boxes are echoed in the squares of the table cloth. So creative!
Kelley, I somehow missed this post! I love these abstracts, and would love to see your final piece for the exhibit! However, I know that you did a great job! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to Conor, Kelley!
ReplyDeleteI like the abstract pattern of the first one.
OTB sounds like a fun idea. You better show us your submission when it's done!
