Mary Free Bed Show.

These are the three watercolor pencil painting that will be placed in the Mary Free bed show in Grand Rapids, Mi.  This has always been my favorite show.  I like the people who show there and the people who put on the show.  I will only be doing this show this year.  All paintings for this show will be matted and framed.  The cost is $375.00.  Contact me if you are interested.  I call them "Good Doll Love", " Red Panda" and " Gold finch".

These are 16" by 20" watercolor pencil paintings that were entered into the Mary Free Bed  art show.  I found out recently out that the mane of my art is Hyperrealism.  It is a form of art were the picture is so realistic it looks like a photo.  Someone told me this and when I looked it up on Google sure  enough that's what it is.

 Hyperrealism is a genre of painting and sculpture resembling a high-resolution photograph. Hyperrealism is considered an advancement of Photorealism by the methods used to create the resulting paintings or sculptures. The term is primarily applied to an independent art movement and art style in the United States and Europe that has developed since the early 1970s.

In other words you paint like it is a photo.

Well it has been a while.  Today was the Mary Free Bed  Art Show.  It is so much fun to see my fellow disabled artist.  They are all so wonderful.  These are the pictures I entered.  The Timber Wolf got one of the Guild Awards.  Thanks to everyone who came to the show and thank you for your support.

Mary Freebed Show

It has been awhile.  I have been quit down and did not know if I would continue to compete.  Well I turned the tied and entered 3 pictures into the Mary Freebed Show.  It is a show for individuals that are in some way disabled.  The people who sponsor  the show are great and always make me feel both welcome and appreciated.  They seem to enjoy my work and assure me I am accepted.  I give thanks to God that there are still people like this in the world.

Legacy prize dates are: May 19 and 20 at the Grand Rapids Civic Theater. I almost missed the dead line for entry which was today. A friend of mine told me to call and make sure the information was in. When I did I found out that it was not in and probable lost in the mail as the VSA had recently moved. Although I was in an investment class all day I did get to the new office and filled in the papers. I must be distracted as I did the same thing with the Mary Freebed show. I did win a Guild Purchase Award. It gave me enough money to get the frames for this project. Still working on a wing and a prayer.
