I have three pieces entered in the Art Walk this year. Two of which are in re-purposed frames. “From Linda’s Window” entitled because of the old carving in the back of the frame. “Apache Point” and “Spirit of the Sun”. I anticipate this year’s Art Walk to be as successful as last year. It brings together all the various talents of the area.
For some time I wanted to do another “Sun”; with the friendly open & smiling face in bright summer colors. Having done a few of various sizes in the past, I knew these are usually good sellers. But I wanted to do ‘more’ with the design & thus was born the idea of ‘how’ this giant orb affects the whole of our lives & environment. How could I represent ‘wind’, for example…
After a few studio mishaps, this is what finally evolved…
(this is also now available as a print; contact me if interested).
Upon seeing it, several friends, (and the hubs), suggested sending it to the “CBS Sunday Morning” show. After pursuing this course; I submitted a shot of it to the Art Challenge as required & was shortly notified thereafter that it was juried into the CBS Sun Art Library & will be featured on the program later in the year.
UPDATE: This was aired Easter Sunday, April 4th and I will receive a tape of the segment shortly!
