My exhibit at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley

I dropped by the Museum this morning to gather some photos of my exhibit.  My artwork is hanging in the Lewis Hall, which has exceptional light for viewing artworks.  Most folks are so surprised when they first visit the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley, thinking it will be all Civil War or valley exhibits.  Much to their surprise, they find artworks on the quality level of The National Gallery of Art in Washington DC.  Its amazing to me to be viewing artworks by Constable or Gilbert Stuart, outside of the National Gallery or the Louvre.    Coming up on April 8th, there will be a meet the artist event, where I will be signing prints of my Medusa painting which are for sale in the museum's gift shop, from 12 noon until 3.  The museum is located at 901 Amherst Drive in Winchester.  For more information about the museum, go to www.theMSV.org 

Nearing Finish on Tanagers

I am nearing the finish line on this one.  Very happy with my little tree frog, but not in love with this one the way I was with the Eagles.  Possibly because of the interruptions
which kept me from working on this steadily.  Some days its hard to get back to the zone. 

Museum Show - Linda Lawler, Sci Fi and Fantasy Art

I am so excited to announce my upcoming museum show, Linda Lawler-Sci Fi and Fantasy Art.   The show takes place at The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley, 901 Amherst St., Winchester VA 22611.  The show will run Feb. 21, 2017 thru April 17, 2017.   Also at this time the super talented comic artist, Alex Ross will be exhibiting and will do a signing at the museum.  I am so honored to be included as a complement to this famous comic artist/illustrator.

Tanager Progress and Big News

There is still so much to do on this painting, so don't judge it yet.  I see lots of stuff I am not happy with, will definitely get back to it this week.  So if you are reading this blog, you are the first to hear this news.  I am going to be showing some of my fantasy and sci fi art at The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley.  And to make this news even more exciting, The famous comic artist, Alex Ross will be having a solo show in the Museum at the same time.  Mr. Ross will even be doing a signing in April at the Museum.  I will have further details shortly when all dates are firmed up.   

Block In -Scarlet Tanagers

I have spent today, blocking in the new bird painting.  Needed to let the Indian painting sit for a day or two.  I like to let my paintings percolate in my mind a bit before proceeding.  It often results in seeing mistakes before they become impossible to fix. 

Current Work- Shawnee War Party

Something I am currently working on, in addition to a new bird painting. This is the blocking in stage.
