The Big 200- is a show that a participant in every year- and it's a really spectacular holiday show. Its 200 artists painting 10 works of art each and they all are the same size and they all sell for the same price. The event gets bigger every year and even more exciting every year. The line to get into the event gets very long and when the doors opens for the event- some of the people rush in and there is a mad scramble to get the art. What I love most about the show is that I can make whatever work I want and it doesn't necessarily need to be apart of a series. So this year I stopped by to pick up what art I had left over and I can't believe it but I sold all my work! I am so thankful that my little paintings found homes and I even more greatful that people enjoyed my work. If you want to see some of my work from the show click here :) Big Thanks to Chris Haberman and Jason Brown for putting on such a great show at the People Art of Portland....
Here is my next piece for the Big 200! and this is an old but busy street in Portland- called Hawthorne. There is an old movie theatre, lots of fun vintage stores, and yummy eats. This street hasn't changed much in since I can remember- I remember when McDonald's try to come to the street.. or maybe it was BK but the neighborhood petitioned against it. This street still holds that special something that has never really went away. This urbanscape is painted on a wood panel- with vintage oils. :) Details: The Big 200 is an annual event that 200 amazing artists paint 10 panels and they are all 8X8 and every piece goes for only $40. This is a cash and carry show- which means you can take the work off the wall and then take it home right then and there! There is a very long line to get into this amazing event- so come early. Date: December 12th 2:00 pm-10:00 pm Place: Peoples Art of Portland 700 SW Fifth (3rd floor) People’s is Suite 4005 Pioneer Square ......
I have been in my art studio working away on a few up and coming projects. I have been a little quiet sharing some of the work I have been working on because I am under top secret orders on a few things coming! So this year I am lucky enough to be participating in the Big 200 annual show. It's my 6th year doing it and I look forward to this show every year. The Big 200 is 200 artists given 10 panels to paint on and it's the set price of $40. It's a cash and carry show- which means that you take the pieces of art off the wall and take them home that day. It's a really amazing show and people line up to get into the gallery. For this show I am doing something a little different for the show- and I hope you like it because I love what I am making. The above photo is the first piece finished for the show. Since I am currently addicted to thrifting- I have come across quite a few estate sales with vintage oil paint from the 60's and beyond. I am not sure what ......
