a Night to Remember

The Woman of Steel Gallery in Boise is featuring my art for a couple of months and last night was the opening party. The event was called "Art & Elegance". Along with my abstract expressionist mixed media paintings on the walls and metal sculptor & owner Irene Deely's metal artworks & a few other pieces from local artists throughout the gallery...there was live music & dancing. catered hors d'oeuvres. a wine bar. a cigar room. and lots of people who came to support the arts.
My 3 piece series titled "Have Your Way". acrylic, latex house paints, & paper on cardboard. Each piece is 26x30 and is priced at $600 each.
Here is my piece titled "Circumcision". latex house paints. acrylic. paper. objects. It is a 36x48 canvas and is priced at $900. The two pieces to the right of it are both 11x14 canvas. The middle one is titled "Water of Life" and the one on the right is titled "Alive". They are both priced at $150 each.
This piece is titled "Strong Tower" and is 16x20 canvas. oil. acrylic. latex house paint. paper. objects. stone. It is priced at $300.
There was a live band playing music for all to enjoy. Here they are bringing us some jazzy tunes in front of 3 of my paintings. The painting on the left is title "Change" and is a 24x36 canvas priced at $700. oil. acrylic. latex house paint. paper. The large painting in the center is titled "Holy" and is a 40x50 framed canvas priced at $1000. oil. acrylic. latex house paint. paper.
I enjoyed being able to mingle and meet people. Many I knew, but others I didn't know and it was wonderful to chat and experience a night of culture together.
Sometimes I love being incognito as people interact and engage with the art.
Here are some of my fellow VineArts artists enjoying the evening together.
Irene (the beautiful lady in the center of the photo facing forward) has such a unique and atmospheric art gallery. It allows for large events like this but creates an intimate setting for all to enjoy.
Cheers!!!!

What a night to remember! Thank you all who came out to the party to celebrate! I feel very loved and supported!
