Wall of Sounds Meets Wall of Color

For those of you of a certain age...


remember Phil Specter the music producer who created the "wall of sound"  with his revolutionary way of sound mixing?






Well, I do not think my "wall of color" is anything revolutionary, but I really enjoyed listening to his work while creating this piece in my studio.







Like the kid with the new box of 64 crayolas (the box with the sharpener), I just got a box of 48 paint tubes from Liquitex and had to experiment!



The swatches will come in handy when making palette selections for future paintings...






Vis Arts Studio



My (somewhat new) Studio Space at the Visual Arts Center

Heating!! Air Conditioning!!!  Oh MY !!!!!

To be near other artists, other art classes, galleries...   WONDERFUL!!!


A great supportive community for teaching,  learning, and creating....


I am one very lucky artist!






One of the creative challenges of my new space? 


How to hand my work on this brick wall...
