Last Wednesday evening I was part of a group of three artists who spoke about their work at a wine and art soiree.
I brought some paintings with me, and there were several of my displayed pieces hanging on the walls. I spoke about my interest in painting the place where the land meets the sea, whether it be on Cape Cod, in Grenada or Ireland. I also spoke about what helps keep my creative flame alight.Having friends who I can discuss my process with is very important to me. And, of course - selling a painting sends me right to the easel!
Other artists featured were Rowena Perkins of Wellfleet, who discussed her art backround, and her current use of the acrylic medium. You can check out Rowena's lively paintings at: www.rowenaperkins.com
Mary Kay Wentzel, a member of the Eastham Painters Group, who paints in watercolor and pastel, also spoke about her art experiences.
There was a wine and champagne tasting, and lots of appetizers.
It was great time, and I was glad to see lots of familiar faces as well as meet some nice new aquaintances.
The next Art & Wine reception will be May 13th, from 5:30-7 pm. Five artists will be featured, including my friends Katy Rose and Aline Gagne.
