something new / something old

During the month of April, nine of my paintings are being displayed at the Doris in downtown Gainesville, Fl.  They will be up for a few more days.

As a very visual person, the whole space matters to me.  Not just random paintings put on a wall, but the color of the wall, the space available, the artpieces that I want to show, and the wordage to accompany the paintings.  This matters to me.  It is more of a challenge when the space is small and limited, and the space also houses office equipment.  Not the ideal situation for displaying works of art, better for a few pieces or only one, and since it is in an office area...graphic art would be better....but you work with what you're given.

That being said...rather than selecting random pieces of artwork, I displayed a series so that the space would be larger rather than chopped up with isolated and unrelated paintings.  I was trying to occupy what space I had available and make an impact on the space.  I don't think that I was successful in doing that, but I learned from the experience, and next time, I will do more to make my paintings stand out in the space that they are given. 

I have a few new paintings and a few older pieces that I displayed.  The paintings were all related in subject matter...the springs of North Central Florida, as you can view below:

Hope that you enjoy!
