An entry for the Free Art Gallery Event Super Bowl Week

A new entry for the big, free event by F6 Gallery opening Thursday evening February 3, 2011 at the Art Bowl MMXI located in the Lincoln Square Shopping Center. There will be snacks and music and meet the artist night so come out and share our love of art. Below this post is a slide show of some photos I took this morning that will help get you oriented to the location. Watch for the Mustang Fountain then you're close. The show will be open February 3 - 5 from 12:00 pm until 11:00 pm. It has been advised to travel from the west to get into Lincoln Square and that means stay off Collins! Use Center and Mesquite.

I've had 2 workshops with artist Donna Zagotta and you can search her name on my blog and read about those posts. She has listed my blog as one of the art blogs to watch in 2011. Thanks Donna and click HERE to see some of the blogs Donna has listed.

My son, Brad, called this morning to tell me he was doing some construction steel work for some Texas artists that had a studio and Bluemoon Farm and knew of my blog. Here they are and how nice to be introduced to some new artists friends, Luna Azul Studios. Check them out.

Look at some of the slides to see some of the landmarks around where the Art Show will be:

Acrylic Painting ~ Art in the Park ~ by Texas Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

"The Silver Comb" SOLD
Acrylic on Textured Gallery Wrapped Canvas 18" x 24"

Pablo Picasso said "I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else." That is exactly what happened in the above painting. I've forgotten how it began other than adding lots of texture. It ended up looking like a Spanish lady and when I Googled Spanish Lady I found the Celtic Woman group singing this on YouTube and in the lyrics it mentions her silver comb. I used Lascaux Perlacryl Iridescent Acrylics along with regular acrylics and it makes it very difficult to photograph but gives the painting a different metallic pearl look. I've had these paints for years and never know how to use them.
Today I'm putting a coat of protective varnish on the painting to take to the Art in the Park show Saturday at the Arlington Highlands.

The Arlington Highlands and F6 Gallery presents Art in the Park. The event features over 100 various artists from the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex combined with the retailers of Arlington Highlands to offer the community a great day of fun for all to entertain. We have been given a parking space to set up and a table and a chair and that's probably what my space will be. There won't be any selling but a day of browsing and visiting. There may be some wind so we're already been advised to bring some rocks. I'm not an outdoor show kind of gal so this should be interesting but I invite anyone out in the area to stop by and say hello. In the booth next to mine, 134, will be Canvas by Canvas so we will get some peep time. Come anytime from 12:00 to 5:00 PM.
