Art Review at Lamplight Art Gallery

On Friday, October 11, 2013 I had the honor of showing four pieces of art at a special Art Review (for young students of Cherilyn Fisher) at Lamplight Art Gallery in Bountiful, Utah.  It was fun to visit with them and their guests.  There were a number of people who were interested in my Horseback Riding with Grandpa painting.  In fact, I sold some prints/giclees and got a commission to do a painting.  Had a ball!

See 4 New Paintings

 Beckham Lodge at Aspen Grove, Utah (8X10, acrylic on water color paper).  We just recently had a family reunion in the breath taking Wasatch Mountains where we stayed with all the Adams cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents.  Had a grand time!  Hope this captures some of the beauty of the area. 
Zion's National Park (16X20 oil on canvas).  This was a commissioned piece done for a dear friend of mine.  It is her and her husband seen on the trail.  They love to hike together. 
Monarch Butterfly (4X6 acrylic on masonite board).  I painted this last summer while I was in Island Park, ID with my husband's family on vacation.  Gave it to my mother-in-law.  I tried to capture the luminous, vibrant quality of butterfly wings.  This painting was inspired by the Hallmark gift book, The Butterfly Effect: How Your Life Matters," by Andy Andrew, which states that even very small acts have large consequences.  The Butterfly Effect: How Your Life Matters  -

"Emily's Poppies" (5X7 acrylic on board) This painting was done for my sister for her wedding in June.  I found an image that I loved on the internet and painted my own version of it for her.  She LOVES poppies.  Congrats, Em!  God bless you in your new life with Lars!
