Collage

I made two paper collages and two digital collages.  I don’t necessarily like one better than the other….both are fun.  Is one a more valid art for than the other?  I’m not sure.

Just play….

I am enjoying taking my vacation from making fine art.  There are tons of pieces for sale so for now I can just play….its a good thing.

Collage because my sewing machine doesn’t work…

My sewing machine has left me nothing left else to but make collages.  I will probably have to bring it in somewhere to get fixed.  Grrrrr.  So I did a little drawing and made some small collages.   The good news is that I sold five pieces at ArtSquare yesterday!

ArtSquare

Often when I am at ArtSquare people in passing ask me if its different working amongst a group instead of alone.  I tell them how odd it feels to know that there is an audience watching me as I work.  Truth be told I am still shy about working in front of an audience.  Here are a few pieces that I created at ArtSquare over the last few weeks.  Over all I am happy with them even if making them in new environment was strange.  I wonder how working there will affect my work over all.

“Girl One”

“Spring Flowers”

“King Of Hearts”

I love this artist’s work!!!!!

Lenae May: NEW Suffragettes!.

What do you think?

In order to do something different I have been sewing.  I don’t think these pieces are even close to finished and I have no idea if they will become a journal or a quilt or maybe some thing else.  What do you think?

Just keep swimming

I know I said I wouldn’t make another mark on paper or canvas……but I lied!    I have no idea how or if I will ever sell all this art.  I just know I need to keep making it.  Just keep swimming.

Coming down after a show…

So many friends came out to support me tonight….I am touched.  Its always hard to come down after a show when you’ve worked so hard to make it happen.   I could never have done it without Lee McKinster and the Loudoun Arts Council.

Free Art!

So if you can guess what I am going to use these for you could win some free art!  What do you think I will be using these for on the night of my show this Friday at the Loudoun Arts Council?  If you guess right you get a free piece of art the night of the show.  Don’t comment here however and give the secret away.  Email me with your guess at…..dmorbeto@yahoo.com.  The first five guesses will be eligible to win!

The fine print!  Winners will be able to choose

from one of several 5" x 7" matted original pieces of art.

Winners must attend the event in order to be eligible.

Volumes Of Excitement

Setting up a show is so much fun!  I love how my art looks (guess I’m not very modest!) and love working with Lee McKinster from the Loudoun Arts Council.  She and I transformed the small and somewhat awkward space into an installation speaking volumes with excitement.  The beautiful red walls that are part of the Arts Council’s space don’t hurt either.

Don’t miss us this Friday, June 4th at Leesburg’s First Friday in the Loudoun Arts Council’s office above Madisonbelle  (5 Loudoun Street Southeast) in downtown Leesburg, from 6pm – 9pm.
