Sky Harbor Airport Museum Show, Phoenix

Sky Harbor Museum Show has a cute name and subject this year for their fall show. Birds, Blooms and Bugs will be the theme for the show. It will be interesting to see how many bug paints are entered into this juried show.

I love bugs, just not into painting bugs. Therefore, I have two birds and two blooms being submitted for jury consideraton. Here they are:

Birds:

The Green Jay is a beautiful, colorful approx 9” bird found in South Texas. 

The configuration of these old gateposts, with native grasses and flowers, show their construction design along with the character and texture of the wood. This subject is a natural stage for the Texas Green Jay.

"This African Ostrich has attitude in spades." He was found in the middle of the road on a bike trip to the Cape by my adventurous neighbors.

Blooms:

My yard is the resource for many paintings. Enjoy this beautiful sunny Sedona day and our native pink prickly pear cactus flower.

Love painting from my yard. This is one of the most beautiful Trumpet Vines in the yard. Its flowers and bean seeds are the largest of all my 9 vines on the fences. This flower group is on the fence next to a large Donkey Ears Cactus; year after year they seems to enjoy each other company as the flowers grow through the ears of the donkey cactus.

The show starts on November 2 thru May 4, 2014. Entries needed to be in on September 13th. The artist almost needs to work a year ahead for juried shows. Notification of acceptance into the show will be October 4th. This show, not being a membership show, is open to all artists living in Arizona. There will be lots of artists and many more painting for the museum to select from. I enter 4 images to possibly get one in the show.


 Enjoy the cooler temperatures and smells of September fall in the air!

Bye for now.
