What a great Idea!


'Down Stream" Oil on canvas L.Watmough
How about an art show that ALL the artwork is for sale???
Duh, not to revolutionary but...Hidden Talent has always shown work for SHOW OR SALE. So many HT artists do not want to part with their art work. Definitely not ready to hand over their 'children' to someone, especially for money.

Some of the advanced students have no more room on their walls and have very wonderful artworks they are ready to part with, soooo.....
We are having an ART SHOW in March where all the eye candy on the wall will be for sale at very resonable price. They will all be originals, most oils and a variety of subjects.
Some of the confirmed artists are Sylvie Ferguson, Joan Stang, Wendy Pfeifer, Pearl Der, Jeannette Sommers and Sandy Topilko and Laura Watmough. 

Hanging starts next Monday! Spread the word!

Chaos Art!

What emerged from chaos this week!
I ran into a fellow who was making some 'cool' art! I had to chuckle because he was doing what most of us 'beginner' artists were doing in the 60's and 70's! Mom called it HIPPIE art and it was inventive, creative and just plain odd. You know- trees with plug ins, gnomes, elves, Yellow Submarine-ish weirdness.
So.....I started to throw paint across the canvas, splatter, color and just made a creative chaos. Low and behold I had to fiddle until an image appeared...here it is! My early years were not a waste! (teehee) I'll see if it was just a trip down memory lane or if I can repeat the process and experience another CHAOS PAINTING!!
Anyone else influenced by the kaleidoscope, doodle art, record covers of the 60's and 70's???
