Sarasota Arts Day Demo

Hello to all I met at the recent Sarasota Arts Day in front of the Dancing Crane Gallery art tent. It was a pleasure meeting and talking to you about art. A special hello to Michael, Diana and Bruceline Kinard. Their daughter, Bruceline, is a promising young artist who at 9 years of age does fine portraits. Here is the finished work which is called "Inna II", an acrylic on linen. How does she look to you? I have changed her figure and put more texture in her hair. The dragonfly remains the same but all the colors in the entire painting are intensified. I thought you might like to see how the painting changed or remained the same. Please let me know what you think? Inna II will be part of the upcoming exhibition at the Dancing Crane Gallery in the Village of the Arts in downtown Bradenton of February 1. The exhibition is called Nudes and Goddesses and promises to be exciting. All of the Village will be open that night and filled with good art of all kinds, music, food and drink. I will be there starting at 7:30 p.m. and other artists will be there starting at 5:00 p.m. Hope to see some of you there.
