We will be at the Rochester Public Market today from 6 pm - 9 pm, weather permitting. Art makes a great stocking stuffer and we have plenty of affordable items. Such as this set of five "Holiday in the Garden" cards, each of which was originally designed for our own use. Order online ASAP or if you live local to us, we will make complementary deliveries right up until and including Christmas Eve for art that is in stock. Gift certificates, also available online, are sendable almost immediately A
Back on August 17, I posted a photo of Marcia working on an organic collage (see third slide.) What she created was truly special, IMNHO. After sharing a detail as part of our new card set, and a debut at the Roco Member’s Exhibition, here is Marcia’s entire magnificent composition titled “Rubinato.” Several sizes of prints will be available Sunday (tomorrow) from 8 am 2 pm and next Thursday December 16th from 6-9 pm at our booth at the public market. This ia another one that is best seen on a larger scale. Stop by the booth and we will show a 16x20 print that is nearly life size. The second slide is from a “sideways” view, a vantage point I love to experience during every ephemeral temporary installation in our backyard.
If you are ready to stuff a few stockings with art, we are so there for you. For example, here is our new (and second) Petal Pointillism Greeting Boxed Set. Marcia was busy all summer and fall creating beauty with her homegrown palette. So this set includes five new and different Petal Pointillism compositions. I had the honor of watching Marcia build these beautiful images layer by layer with petals, flowers, leaves, bark, pieces of broken pots and more found items. Sometimes she asked me to help pick a few things to fill in a portion of the sky within her organic collages. Now you can share the results with your favorite gardener and/or art lover. Maybe that person is also you?
Last Night at our First Friday event, Marcia and I unveiled a number of new works. One was my latest is from the abstract series I started in 2017 called “Garden of a Distant Ecotopia.” This is “Harvest of Ecotopia” and includes not only unusual vegetables and flowers but also river pebbles and pieces of broken pots. The vegetables include the beautiful miniature eggplant “Thai Lavender Frog Egg”, the Tomato “Evil Olive”, “Jing Orange Okra”, and perennial “Walking Onions” given to us over 25 years ago by Marcia’s Grandpa Norton. I was inspired to create this series in response to Capitalism’s exploitative toxic practices towards vulnerable peoples, species, and the environment. For I see a possible future that is respectful of our planet and the life that resides upon it. And so this art is meant to portray my love of all things green and sustainable. As an example, all the varieties I mentioned are ones for which I intend to save seeds for the following years.
