Update on Niskayuna Art out! WOW!

WOW is really all I can say! I had no idea that our work would be judged so that was a  big surprise, but actually winning 2nd place was even bigger surprise for me! It was really my first time participating in an event like that and getting the 2nd place prize under these circumstances it's pretty good in my book! :-)

I won with the woodburned plaque " Niskayuna Train Station" which was my very first woodburned landscape. I had never tried it before and I always found it intimidating so imagine my astonishment when everyone complimented it and then I won the prize with it.

I received compliments from the judges for my other work too and that was very uplifting too.  The second reception with media coverage will be on Sept 27th at 6:30 pm in Niskayuna Town Hall, if you would like to join us. Until then all our work will be displayed in Niskayuna Town Hall for sale.



Here are some pictures from the event tonight and a couple of snapshots of my work on display.

Niskayuna Train Station Art Out 2011

I had absolutely no idea what I'm signing for but I thought that whatever it is, if there is ART and it's OUT( side) it would be fun.

Of course I was right! :-)

I don't remember painting/drawing/woodburning for 2 straight days ever! The only down side was that I actually had to work both days, not like I planned but I managed somehow to survive ( talk about being tired today! Ha!) I met wonderful people aaaaand maybe have some interesting ( ;-) hint, hint) news in the making, will update you when I know more!



Here is everything I managed to make for the 15 hours I spent working on Friday and Saturday:



1. White ink on black background- " Conversation"

2 . Ink and Copic markers- " Inside"

3. Watercolor and Ink - " Journey"

4.Woodburned plaque- " Niskayuna Train Station Lion's park"

5. Woodburning- " Blossom"

You can check out more detailed pictures of the artwork if you click on the images.

I feel very satisfied with the amount of work I managed to finish this weekend. I didn't dare hope that I will have so many things, but here they are, speaking for themselves. I hope you enjoy them as I did and if you are interested in purchasing any of them, you can contact me through the Contact page or Facebook for prices, size etc.



Off to enjoy the nice reception at the art show! :-)
