Summer Reading II

Summer Reading II (18x24, acrylic on board)

Hello everyone!

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to scan my work so pardon the awful photograph... But this is my contribution to the "Sweat" show running until this Thursday, August 4th. Come by this Thursday for the closing reception if you can! See www.ozstudios.ca and the Facebook invite for more information.

This illustration was painted in acrylic. I wanted to do something that celebrated the beauty of outdoor reading, summertime and the combination of both. I've been playing with the idea of rendering flat patterns in a three-dimensional setting, and then finding a balance between the two. I think it's something I'll be doing for awhile.

Cheers,

Chelsea

July Topic

Hello everyone!

It's July so it's time for this month's topic.
For those who don't know, the illustrators of the Project and other very talented artists will be part of "Sweat," a summer art show opening next Friday, the 15th at 6PM.
So I thought that amidst all the chaos of organizing and preparing for the show, why not pick a topic that would allow us to showcase our work from the show?

So here it is folks, SWEAT will be the topic this month.
The following entries will be sneak peeks to the show. If you want to see them in person, come by Oz Studio. For details, visit the NEWS section of the blog.
It's going to be so good.

Cheers,

Chelsea
