Fine Arts
Wednesday and Thursday are the last two official class days with the Leadership Arts. I’ve really had a lot of fun getting to know some of these folks and look forward to working with them on more projects.
We spent today at the Istvan Gallery on Oklahoma City. They share the space with working glass artist’s and spent the time between sessions watching them teach.
The Istvan Gallery was created in what was an abandoned automotive repair school. Find out more about them HERE: www.istvangallery.com
Recently, I was invited to show my work in the lobby of an investment firm in downtown Norman, OK. Every month on the 2nd Friday, the Norman Arts Council puts on an Art Walk. All of the downtown businesses dress up with local artists and have a mile long block party with wine and snacks, entertainment, THE WORKS!
It was a great thrill seeing my work hanging on their walls. I had quite a few inquiries, sold a couple of minis, and picked up a commission. It’s estimated that over 300 people came through the lobby that night.
At one point there was a line going around the whole place as people waited to view. I could not have been happier.
I love those days when you wake up to discover you are on the front page of the paper and it’s not a mug shot or an indictment! I’m looking for to 2013 being a break out year for Oasis. Walking up to the grocery store newspaper rack and seeing this without warning is just AWESOME!
NUDITY ALERT! Duh! I am spending 5 minutes a day practicing drawing naked ladies nude figures. This is part of my #100DaysArt process where I pick something to practice for 100 days in a row. Here are the 5 minute nudes for the week of February 20, 2012 through February 29, 2012. All of the previous 5 minute nudes may be found in the Gallery under 5 minute nudes.
