SVA Small Works Project

These four paintings will be donated to SVA for the Small Works Project.

On Friday, July 27 from 5 pm – 9 pm the Small Works Project Finale takes place. For $20 in advance or $25 at door the public is invited to take home one of the 350 pieces of 8″ x 10″ original art created and donated by 150 SVA members and other artists as a fundraiser for SVA operating expenses.

The purpose of SVA is to provide local and regional artists with a platform to support, empower, and promote them and their work.

Each painting is identified with a number. On July 27 ticket holders will receive a number and discover which painting they can take home. Love it or swap it. There will be an exchange wall where one can exchange the painting received for another painting on the exchange wall.

If you can’t be present on July 27, you can pick it up at the next SVA event or have it shipped to you for $12.50 shipping and handling.

Day 105 at New Harmony

Clovers 9″ x 12″ watercolor

Yesterday was Day 105, my 105th painting since January 1st. Clovers was painted near New Harmony, Indiana.

My wife and I are traveling in a motorhome. It is our first trip in our 06 Navion H.

We are camping at New Harmonie State Park. The campground had been closed for the past ten days because the Wabash River flooded the road going to the campgound. Thank you God. The river receeded in time for our arrival. I am so glad to get away from the nasty weather back in Wisconsin.

Tomorrow we will spend the day exploring New Harmony. I’m here for the 20th Anniversary First Brush of Spring Paintout, a plein air art competition cosponsored by the Hoosier Salon and the Indiana Plein Air Painters Association. Over 150 artists from all over the country will be here to compete April 18 – 21, 2018.

   I Left My Heart in Paris
   by Jane Kautzer

Honfleur and  I left My Heart in Paris will be on exhibit at Gallery 110 North, Plymouth as part of the Plymouth Arts Center 22nd Holiday Membership Exhibition.

I have traveled a lot since my retirement last October.   My wife and I stayed in Europe for seven weeks this year and explored northern France, Barcelona, and London.  I painted nearly every day. Honfleur was painted on a bright sunny day.   My wife took the photo of  locks on Pont des Arts Bridge.  Large sections of the bridge were covered with locks until 2015 when Paris authorities removed the locks to protect the integrity of the bridge. Come see the show and talk to me about my trip.

The show will be up from December 1 – January 12, 2018.
