Call for Art on d'Arte Board

Hiya. Just wanted to let you know that we're looking for submissions for our second art contest over on d'Arte Board--the group blog I co-author. The theme this time (which may be interpreted with all the looseness of your oldest pair of stretched out undies) is "Photographic Abstraction". Under the definitions set forth in the prospectus there is ample room for any and all types of artwork with the exception of video as we currently lack the means to archive video art in an online album. Winning submissions will be featured on the front page along with a link to the artist's website or other online presence, and all submissions are archived in a publicly accessible online album. Please do head over there and check it out. Be sure to read and follow all application instructions. We've set things up in a very straight forward, simple manner in order to keep everything easy and organized. Hope to hear from you all!

DEADLINE: JULY 15, 2009

Spring, Sunshine & New Art

I admit I've been neglectful. My blogging attentions have been mostly diverted elsewhere. I'd like to say that will change. I want to tell you I'll be here more, I'll have more to say, more interestingness to post. And maybe I will.

For now, what's new in the virtual world is that I've added a couple new works to the Cells section and one new work to the Saccharine Cartography section of my art site. Those images above are of preview details. Also, I've joined yet another artists networking site. This one I'm pretty excited about though. It's called Valley Art Share and it's a site devoted specifically to Massachusetts artists from the lovely Pioneer Valley area. I'm excited about having such a great resource for keeping in touch with what's going on in the arts in my area.

What's new in the physical world is that I have a painting up at Wunderarts in Amherst, MA. If you get a chance, do stop in to see what's up at Wunderarts now. My painting is in the group section of the gallery. In the front is "Consumed", a show of works by Sarah Bliss and Petula Bloomfield. I've seen the show twice so far, once at the opening reception and again the other day at "Art Church" which was a really fun, interesting sit down gallery talk with Sarah and Petula. What else? Well, spring keeps peeking around the corner and teasing us with the promise of something better. Saturday was so gorgeous I donned short pants and went on a bike ride around Ashley Reservoir! Pics? ok.



Not much else except there are lots of WIPs in the studio which means there should be something new to post at some point in the not too distant future. I got a new hole saw which is making life much more fun. And the rain seems to be letting up. Yep. Guess that's about it for today.

Take Care,
-Steph
