original acrylic indoor/outdoor painting

$65.00

This past summer I had too gorgeous pots of cactus zinnias. I planted them from seed and they grew to 3-4 feet tall in pots that honestly were not large enough for them. I had to brace these pots between heavier ones just to keep the zinnias upright. But they did have such beautiful flowers. This is one of my new indoor/outdoor paintings.

WHAT
Twitter Art Exhibit: Orlando
 
Benefiting The Center for Contemporary Dance, Special Needs Classes
Twitter Art Exhibit: Orlando is the fourth installment of an open international exhibition of handmade postcard art for charity, donated by hundreds of participating artists from around the globe.
While the first two exhibitions were held in Moss, Norway, the third installment held in Los Angeles marked the global launch for the concept by founder David Sandum, a Swedish-born artist who conceived Twitter Art Exhibit as a vehicle for doing good through social media and online community-building. The idea is simple: artists around the globe receive a call through Twitter social media to create original postcard-sized art, which they mail to a local curator, who then exhibits and sells them to benefit a local charity. Artists must have a Twitter account and interact with exhibition organizers to participate, and help seed the event.
In its first year, Twitter Art Exhibit received postcards from over 260 artists in 24 countries, raising funds to buy 221 new children’s books for a struggling library in Moss, Norway. The second installment received entries by 360 artists in 32 countries, raising $4,000 USD for an abused women’s shelter, also in Moss. The 3^rd exhibition held in Los Angeles raised $7,000 for an organization mentoring underprivileged young adults in preparation for careers in the visual arts, attracting 502 artists from 35 countries, with a total of 726 postcard entries received.
Social media plays a major role in Twitter Art Exhibit. It is our intention to tweet, share, seed and promote our artists to thank them for their participation, and to make this event a huge success.
The event will be highly publicized and well attended by art buyers and enthusiasts, members of the press, local artists and the community, as well as by The Center for Contemporary Dance Students and Faculty.

Fall Splendor on a Misty Day

12 x 12, oil

$145.00

This fall landscape was painted using my knives. It is a very textural painting. These knife paintings are very interesting. They have so many wonderful swirls of color, you never get bored looking at them. They read well from a distance and as you get closer they look more abstract. This painting is for sale on my website: SpohnStudio.com

Below you will see the value study for this painting.
