Fall Travels

A favorite art venue every year is the annual October Art Show and Sale at the Pawling Center in Hagaman, New York.  This popular event features the work of 60 or so local artists.  There are a number of prizes, raffles and plenty of tasty food in a two day.  I always look forward to the Hagaman Show and display 6-8 new drawings.  Here are 3 of my 5 entries.  (other 2 not photographed yet). My ceramic rooster/tablecloth piece ("Eggspectations") received the 2nd place Drawing ribbon.   These 3 pieces were larger than my usual and quite challenging in the amount of detail.  I wanted to try some setups with colorful fabric to mix soft, flat but detailed 2D backgrounds with very bright 3D objects in interesting ways.  The next piece is titled "Love in the Greenwood with a frog, princess and the "forest" I saw in the tapestry background.  Third is "Swan Song", a tangle of favorite antique silver and my lovely thrift-shop silver swan.
