When my Harbor piece was finally done and off to the framers it was on to the next. First oder of things to do ...clean the studio as three months of non stop working on my offering "The Other Side of the Harbor" turned my studio into a crazy entanglement of paper collage strips; containers of paint; paintbrushes; magazines; notes; half worked canvases; watercolor studies; black and white studies; coffee to-go cups; water bottles, half eaten food :-( ewww) food wrappers; chocolate wrappers :-) everywhere.
After that was done my studio looked like brand new and it was onto my next venture...
THE WALL @ TRAVESSIA URBAN WINERY for April AHA night in downtown New Bedford.

THE WALL @ TRAVESSIA URBAN WINERY for April AHA night in downtown New Bedford.
Travessia is a micro-winery in downtown New Bedford, Massachusetts. They focus on making wine in small lots with primarily Massachusetts-grown grapes, such as Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Vidal Blanc, and Pinot Noir. Travessia wines are an authentic reflection of this areas local soils and micro-climate. For the past 3 months Travessia has been spotlighting a different New Bedford artist on their featured WALL displayed in their tasting room and generously hosting an opening reception on the night of AHA.
My plan was to show new 8"x10" acrylic on canvas pieces that I did in the Fall 2012 however I also wanted to showcase 2 brand new 20"x 20" acrylic on canvas works that I was actually working on in between the harbor piece. Seems crazy right? the back and forth motion but that kind of shift in focus really helps me to enhance the quality of each individual piece - it allows me to work out issues I would have with one piece onto another. Crazy artists logic. However the colors were bright and energetic and really had that energy that I had while working on my Harbor piece- interesting indeed.
Some of the color combinations I chose for these two new pieces below. Stay tune to check out what the actual display looked like on tomorrow's blog.
