From the post “The new group exhibition at Brews, “8 x 10” – $200 And Under,” starts Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2024 with an opening reception from 5 to 8 p.m.

More than 80 artists were given 8 x 10 inch canvases and asked to create a work in any theme or medium. The only criteria – the works could not be framed and all pieces had to be priced at $200 or less. This is a cash and carry show to help out artists during the holidays, so sold works will not be on the walls for the entire six-week run. These pieces will make great holiday gifts while supporting our local artist community.”

I was very excited to be a part of this Christmas event and ended up painting four different pieces for this show, plus one commission. The first two sold right away. I was very surprised. It is always so much fun to be a part of these art shows. Whenever the subject allows, I like to be able to try painting something I haven’t done before. This time, I thought I’d try to paint snow. I think they turned out well.

After these two paintings sold right away, I was commissioned by a local man to paint Twisted Peppermint for his sister. I got it done within one week.

My painting Winter Wonderland was featured in the local newspaper the Democrat Gazette!

So after all of my paintings sold, I decided to get two more up there. These are the two I took. Prints will be coming soon in our Etsy Sho,p so be on the lookout for that.

Here are some other paintings by various artists, including Shira Fouste, Sandra Spotts, Leah Floyd, Vicki Ashford Hardcastle, and Brynn Rothberg.
