SEPT 2017: 30 Paintings in 30 Days

As a xerographist, my work tends to be, almost exclusively, representational.  The 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge offered me an opportunity to revisit abstract painting as an alternate voice.

Here’s is a collage of all 30 Days of Paintings by R.L. Gibson…

ART OPP: Yosemite

Have you ever been to Yosemite? 

Or, do you have work that was inspired by Yosemite?  Then check out this call for Yosemite Renaissance 31.  It is an open media Call for Entries for work inspired by its namesake.

If you’ve never been to Yosemite, but are motivated to enter anyway, good news… There are MANY public domain images of Yosemite available for inspiration, including the NPS Archives.  Please note, I am NOT encouraging you to use someone’s work that has NOT been released to public domain for your images.  Respect copyrights folks, please.

I am working on a piece featuring a snow plant, a common flower spike found in the area that often blooms through the snow just before the Spring melt.  Gorgeous, but complicated, not unlike the area.

Stay tuned to see the final image!
