The next evolution in Fluid Beauty
First, a note -
Prints of most all of the images from the Fluid Beauty: Reflections and Expressions show will be available soon for purchase. The prints are 12 x 18 and will be $20 + shipping. I’ll have pictures of the prints here.
Update on the next show –
First Friday, May 7th, I went to the space where I’ll be showing in August and September, Topstitch Boutique. After speaking with one of the owners of the boutique about what their themes and qualities are, I got some great ideas, and then spoke to Trish about it on the phone on the way home. One word I heard stuck out – “nautical.” And so, the images from the show are going to be of women underwater. It’s always hard for me to describe what I’m doing but I’ll try to give you a sense of it: water elementals that represent feminine qualities and ideas. I’m going to use my “splatters” to represent bubbles/water in some paintings and possibly use them as clothes in others. I may also have flowing fabric in the style of some of the pieces in the last show.
Saturday, May 15th, (after a night at the Wachovia Center watching the Flyers win game 7 on TV!) I stopped by the space to take measurements. With these, I can spec out how many paintings I’ll be doing.
Saturday and Sunday I finished a painting that may be in one of the two group shows that I may be contributing to for June. Next entry I’ll post that painting and two others I’ve finished since the Amberella show.
I’m going to use a combination of new photos and existing photos as reference for the work. I’ve sent out some messages to models I’ve worked with to set up shoots for next week. We’ll see if that works. Also, I’m going to try and shoot with some of the models who regularly work with the boutique where I’m showing. The boutique sells some really interesting jewelry and clothes. I’m going to incorporate some of the jewelry in the paintings.
Before I can do anything, I have to sketch out how many paintings I’m doing and what the basic idea of each painting will be. I’m hoping to do that tonight, but I’m going to see my friend do her new one-woman-show and also the boy is sick.
I’ve got a shoot scheduled for tomorrow night, it was set up before I got this new show, but I’m going to shoot some for this new work.
Next time I post, I’ll show some sketches and explain a little about how I’m coming up with images.
