IMMACULATA ART SHOW

I dropped off my paintings yesterday for the Immaculata Art Show that begins May 7th with an evening reception and then the rest of the week through the following Sunday. Every day is free except the Friday evening reception. It is a great show if you have not seen it before. I have 4 large watercolors including this painting of The Stone Outbuilding in Chadd's Ford. Then there are 6 smaller paintings and 15 pieces in my portfolio. Let me know if you have any questions or need directions. You can go to their web site for further details. http://www.immaculata.edu/artshow

UPCOMING EVENTS

Watercolors and the pace of life

When people look at my watercolors, they often say the seem peaceful and find themselves stopping for a minute to look and reflect on their life. You see, when I often see a building, maybe a front porch or an old basket that says something to me........and opens my eyes to a possible painting. I never see a painting in busy traffic or the hustle and bustle of a crowded city. Life is so busy today for everyone so I like to paint things that remind me living life at a slower pace. For example, when I see an old abandoned house that seems to raise questions like...who lived there or what their life was like? When I walked into our old barn that used to be a sheep farm many years ago, what was like in 1906 when it was built...or I looked out the back window at the lake and heard the geese honking. I want to try to capture that atmosphere in a painting with my brush. So if you find my paintings make you pause and raises a question like---where is my life going, what am I doing with my life and the pace I live, then let me know.
I am one painter who desires to listen to the still small voice of God. That He might lead me closer to Him. In doing so, maybe I can help someone else find that voice and His comfort. If you feel a desire to spend some time each day reflecting on what God can say to you, let me know and I can give you some help. Blessings Bruce
