The exhibition features ten artists from all across Arizona. I suggest a visit if you are passing through the airport. The exhibit space is out of the way in Terminal 3 (behind Starbucks), but worth locating. The artists represent a good sample of contemporary Arizona regional painters.
Location: Terminal 3, Level 2, Garage cases (4), Through Sept. 26, 2010
Phoenix Airport Art Collection: Sky Harbor art museum
Wow. I’ve been away too long, from painting and this blog. Last post was a photo of me on Lost Dog Trail. It’s near my home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Below are three drawings from yesterday’s hike. I must admit I do not hike very far because of the time it takes me to draw. My focus was on hiking so I stopped briefly to sketch and added color later. I don’t like to do that, but I wanted to walk a little.
I drew with a new compressed graphic stick (very cool) and added the color later. It can make narrow and wide lines. I experimented with different color media on each piece. I used combinations of ink, colored pencils, marker, and watercolor.
The Infinity is pulling away from Seattle to begin another 7-day cruise in Canada-Alaska waters. I painted this view of the Space Needle from a photo as I was working at the time and only had a chance for a fleeting glimpse.
Latest direction in sketches. One of many doodles I did today. Musings on Western American art.
