A recent call to jury into another art gallery was well received and I'm happy to say that I have become a member of the C'Ville Arts Co-op, located on the downtown walking mall of Charlottsville. Across from the Paramount Theater, where I first heard Doug Tallamy and Michael Dirr lecture on the same day, one of my fondest memories and a first visit to Charlottsville.
Now that I'm in 2 galleries, there's lots to do and I have just finished these 2 pieces. Still on my shoe kick, the first was created with a pair of "Nine West" shoes so I named her "She Ruled the Land of Nine, East and West". The colors were inspired by beets, specifically the juice of beet root, which is a beautiful purple.
Small hands point to East and West on the bottom.
This next piece began with a rabbit, a lovely running rabbit that needed a nice space to run. Titled "Through the Meadow", it actually has a hidden compartment behind the rabbit, the front piece held in place by strong magnets.
A few other nifty things are coming together, and I'm super happy to be in 2 of the greatest galleries in Charlottsville. If you come this way, please stop by.
