Ballerina Flowers

I love my students. Amanda Tirk gave me the title of this one. I had photographed a beautiful flowering shrub while in Ft. Bragg over Christmas break, but I failed to find out what they were called. Later, setting up the assignment to use four different zones and come up with a drawing (scratchboard, neg/pos shapes, cubes, full value, and pointillism) Okay that's five...anyway. I realized I didn't know the name of the flower. Amanda saw my drawing and said, "Oh, ballerina flowers. I love those."

ART SHOW

So, I'm getting my very first solo show at a place called La Bussola in downtown Reno. It's off of First Street next to Java Jungle. The show will be up in February, so if you're downtown then check it out. I'm pretty excited. Even though I didn't create the art this year I thought I'd put it here for you to preview.
