Beacon Art Show 5

Age Old Music 24x36

For the second year in a row I've been accepted into the juried Beacon Art Show, sponsored by the Methodist Church in San Luis Obispo. I was quite pleased to have sold my piece last year and hoping for another sale this year as well.



This piece done on red rosin paper and then mounted on canvas features different sized xeroxed copies of Caravaggio's The Lute Player. I used water soluble oil pastels on the faces in several colour combinations and both vertically and horizontally. The blue, white and red palette is one I use often, but the addition of yellow was something different and really "pops".



The show runs through the first week in April
and is being held in the church hall.

  5. You know, I always like your repetitive images/icons/shapes, and I have yet to use that technique. I must do this on my next canvas! This is fabulous.

    Let us know when someone buys it!
