Abstracts to Collage to Oils oh my

One of the best things about being an artist in a group is that you are exposed to so many techniques.  Our group is so diverse, with so many interests we are never bored or boring nor is our Art Sale!!
This December 5th and 6th is our famous, yes I mean famous Pieces of 8 pre- holiday sale.
This year for the first time it will be a 2 day event, tied into First Friday in Eau Gallie and continuing on Saturday.  We will be at our new studio space at Ralph's Art Supply and he has graciously agreed to us starting our sale on Friday from 3:00 to 8:30 and into Saturday 10:00-4:00.
I love dappling in oils, collage and abstracts of all kinds and will have all of the above for sale at the show and I am only  one person. 
We always have so much fun meeting some of the wonderful people who support us by purchasing our art,  following us on Facebook and our blog.
Here are a few of the pieces I will have at the sale.  Please come by, browse, enjoy  and say hello.

Something Old Something New

As Kathy mentioned Cindy and I worked on a few process for an old technique last Friday.  I love handpainting old black and white photos but it is a long process with lots of time in between for drying.  Cindy forwarded me a website that uses panpastels. The woman's name is Dianne Poinski and she has developed a wonderful way to hand color old photos using panpastels. She has an e-book and course available and you can email her at diannepoinski@aol.com for more informatin.
