"Riverside Presbyterian Church" and Alternative Gift Fair

SOLD 9" x 12" Original oil on canvas

I am participating in my church's Alternative Gift Fair this Sunday, November 15 so I decided to do a blog painting of the church like I did for Good Shepherd. 20% of the final bid price will go to the Alternative gift fair for mission projects. This one is bigger than most of my blog paintings, on canvas, not panel and the 1 1/2" edges of the canvas are painted with the image wrapping around. And the painting looks better in person than my photo of it! It is nice to be able to use my "artistic license" by choosing to not paint in the huge poles, traffic lights and signs, constant car traffic, etc. on the corner of Park and Post!

"The Church of the Good Shepherd"

SOLD 6 x 8 oil on panel

My show for the Riverside Fine Arts Association in Craig Hall at the Church of the Good Shepherd, 1100 Stockton Street will be on display through November 19. The 11 originals and 7 prints and about 15 blog paintings are beautifully displayed and worth a viewing if I do say so myself! If you would like to view them call RFA at 389-6222, their office is in the church and someone would be glad to show you Monday through Thursday, 9 am -4 pm and of course during Sunday church services! (20% of any sales or print orders will benefit RFA.) The RFA concert Thursday night with the King's Singers was terrific, I look forward to attending more concerts in their Fall series.

(Info below) This was painted first as "A Painting a Day" blog painting, 7" x 7", I liked it so much I decided to paint it much larger!

Thursday night, November 5, my work is on display as the featured artist for the Riverside Fine Arts concert, at the Church of the Good Shepherd, 1100 Stockton Street. Grammy award winning "The King's Singers" are performing in the sanctuary. My work is in Craig Hall with a wine and cheese reception from 7 - 8 pm, the concert at 8 pm and then on view again during intermission and during the reception after the concert. The art is free to view! The concert tickets are $35. At least stop by for a glass of wine to see 11 originals and 7 prints and about 15 blog paintings. Or stop by the church before November 19 to check them out. (The link above to Riverside Fine Arts website has a clip of the singers performing.)
