As a new year begins,\u00a0 I look forward to events on the horizon and things to do.<\/p>\n
One event is my exhibit with BankRI galleries.<\/p>\n
My exhibit with BankRI galleries opens in February.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been creating work and getting ready for this exhibit. This month I\u2019ll be framing the work to be ready to hang. It\u2019s exciting to be feeling the time for the exhibit getting closer.\u00a0 It\u2019s wonderful to feel this coming to fruition. I look forward to the opening.\u00a0 I can\u2019t help thinking how fitting it is that it\u2019s opening in the same month as my birthday.\u00a0 A wonderful gift to share.<\/p>\n
It will be at the Pitman branch for the month of February.\u00a0 Then in March it will be moved to One Turks head in downtown Providence.\u00a0 On the third Thurs., Mar 18 there will be a reception as a part of Providence Gallery Night.\u00a0 See info in Art News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Another year filled with opportunities and gifts.<\/p>\n Who knows what else is ahead.<\/p>\n Step forward into this year.<\/p>\n Feature Art\/product<\/strong><\/p>\n “word: pioneer” is an illustration I did for a weekly event at IllustrationFriday.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n I felt this was a fitting image to start the new year off.<\/p>\n pioneer:<\/p>\n 1. <\/strong>One who ventures into unknown or unclaimed territory to settle.<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>One who opens up new areas of thought, research, or development: a pioneer in aviation.<\/p>\n 3. <\/strong>A soldier who performs construction and demolition work in the field to facilitate troop movements.<\/p>\n 4. <\/strong>Ecology<\/em> An animal or plant species that establishes itself in a previously barren environment.<\/p>\n adj.<\/em><\/p>\n 1. <\/strong>Of, relating to, or characteristic of early settlers: the pioneer spirit.<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>Leading the way; trailblazing: a pioneer treatment for cancer.<\/p>\n A new year is a chance to venture ahead on our journey in life. \u00a0 A new way to step ahead and be present.<\/p>\n I think of the pioneers who settled the west, as well as, the pioneers that explored the deep seas and places on this earth.\u00a0 I also think of\u00a0 the Wright Brothers who were pioneers in flight technology.\u00a0 And the pioneers of space exploration.<\/p>\n I remember in 1968 (I was 3 yrs.old…ok, I’m dating myself ) my mom woke us all up to watch the space shuttle take off for the first moon landing. Though I was very young, I remember it rather clear.\u00a0 Watching the space shuttle lift off and up into space was an incredible moment.\u00a0 It was a moment in history.\u00a0 Amazing.<\/p>\n I give ‘Thanks’ to explorers and pioneers of the past and present.\u00a0 We live in an amazing world.<\/p>\n Cheers to what’s ahead.<\/p>\n Illustration Friday<\/a>:<\/p>\n Each week a word is sent out to members.\u00a0 Members can create an image and then submit it to IllustrationFriday.com blog.\u00a0 It’s a fun and creative activity.<\/p>\n If you feel creative, join in.<\/p>\n Check out Great Gift items at Lisa’s Art & Horses<\/a><\/p>\n Please feel free to contact me with questions on art\/products and\/or comments at lisa@lisasart.com<\/p>\n Art\u00a0 News <\/strong> Feb\/Mar 2010.<\/p>\n Providence:<\/p>\n February: Pitman Street Gallery.\u00a0 (near Eastside Market food store)<\/p>\n Hours: Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday noon to 4 p.m.<\/p>\n March: One Turks Head Place (downtown Prov. )<\/p>\n Hours:\u00a0 Monday through Wednesday 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Thursday and Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.<\/p>\n Third Thursday: March 18, Reception, Meet the artist and see her scratch board work. \u00a0 And enjoy some cheese and wine.\u00a0 Hours 5pm-9pm.<\/p>\n The Equine Art Guild’s News<\/strong><\/p>\n “Le Cadeau du Cheval<\/a>“<\/strong><\/p>\n Several artists in the EAG were a part of this unique tribute to the horse.
