Sisterhood

This large 4 foot by 6 foot painting also took a while to finally finish.  I especially love the red background which glows in the sunshine.  It will look amazing hanging in the Artsgarden sunshine in a few months.  Be sure to check back often I am close to finishing up some SMALLER paintings.

Surprise

Someone notified me of this surprise on http://www.idada.org/ last night...

First Friday November 5th 2010

There are all kinds of new happenings this first Friday!  

Big News:

I was selected to be a part of the IDADA Members Exhibition which opens this Friday  5PM to 9PM at the 924 Gallery at 924 N Pennsylvania Street.  i am not going to tell you which piece was selected but it is one of my new series that will be on display at the ArtsGarden in January so be sure to stop by.

As always The Stutz building is having their monthly open studios from Noon to 5PM.  This is always free and tours are available.  The Stutz ArtSpace will not be open though.  This is because they are busy setting up a show for the Spirit and Place Festival "Uncovered Food for Thought" which will be opening next Friday November 12th.   However, there will be a flooding of artists on the first floor with easels set up so be sure to come check that out. Also, on November 19th The Stutz Artists will be having their annual Holiday Show.  There will be many artists on display and special small pieces which will sell for $100 and go to charity.

Charge!

I started working on this today while waiting for a few of my other pieces to dry.  It started out just being a test for a larger piece but I think it turned out well.

Website Refreshed

I have made some changes to my website.  Check it out at http://www.bonniefillenwarth.com/ . I have also been very busy in the studio the past few weeks so be on the lookout for new work to be posted soon!  Only six more months until the Stutz Open House...

Push Finished

As promised I finished this piece right before the Autumn walk and first Friday.  If you had told me before that I would have worked on this piece for 6+ months I wouldn't have believed you.  This one is four feet tall by eight feet long.  It is a unique piece because it is on a piece of hardboad.  It is also the largest piece I have ever done.
