Nevada Artist Association Gallery: First Place Oils!

I recently joined the Nevada Artist Association in Carson Nevada

It is a co-op gallery that a friend recommended to me. I entered three paintings in the Nevada Day Juried Show and my New World Order painting took first place in the Oil Painting division.

Now that I need to place entries every six weeks I'm trying to get things printed and framed so I can also enter some of my digital art and photography. I went to Pitch Black Printing in Reno and had two of my digital pieces printed as Limited Editions on Gallery Wrapped Canvas.

Final Roundup 40"x24" #1 of 5 Giclee Print on Canvas  $1600

The next show is the Holiday Show starting Dec 2, this will not be a juried show so I'm thinking about printing up some of my woodies in a smaller size so they may sell better which will help support the gallery as well as myself. 

The Nevada Artist Association Gallery is next to the Brewery Arts Center in Carson City. If you're in the area stop in, there are some amazing artists works on display and for sale.

Progress is going slow now. I'm doing a lot more staring at the painting and then doing a little work to fix what I don't like. Here is where I am right now.

I had to stare it down for a while but I think I have it figured out now. 

This is where I am tonight.

This one has been battling me from the beginning but I think I have it figured out now.

New Work in Progress: Turtle Island Painting 2

I did some more painting yesterday. This one is fighting me all the way. I like it more today than I did last night even though I haven't done anything to it. Here it is in all its glory.

This one will have to be a mixed media painting I think, but who knows I could still change my mind.

New Work in Progress: Turtle Island Painting

One of my favorite digital art pieces is my Iroquois Creation Story. I have always loved this piece so I decided I would do a couple paintings based on it. The first I started today using acrylic ink and watercolor on Yupo paper. Then I think I will do a large oil painting. We'll see how that goes. :)

Here is the painting as it sits right now.
