Kathie, a professor at McMurry University, brings her unique pet portraiture and ceramics, T.M.Gand presents her new San Antonio Riverwalk Series, and Hartley, an art teacher and military wife, brings her Deployment Chair Series. 

Three different topics all married by a love of color. 

The show is up through the end of September at Abilene Frame-N-Art.  Please stop by Saturday to meet the artists and see the work in person!  This is a casual art reception to enjoy on a beautiful Saturday!  Bring your friends too! 

My Riverwalk series was inspired by a trip I took with my sister and her boss last year to San Antonio.  My sister, Samantha Manski, took  most of the photos I referenced for this project. 

You can see more about the painting process on my Facebook fansite at http://www.facebook.com/T.M.GandArt in the photo section. 

Having tackled some of Venice's fine vistas last year, I decided something closer to home in the same collage and paint style would be fun.  And with Riverwalk, I could amp up the color! 

I consider my style to be a nostalgic vantage point of a great trip.  All pieces will stay up through the end of September and any sold pieces will be delivered after they are professionally photographed. I literally finished these right before delivery and need a little time to get them into the records. :)
