It's that time of year, the annual HBAL Members Show.
It will be open from November 4 - 29, 2018
at the beautiful Huntington Beach Library
I am lucky to be a member of Huntington Beach Art League.

A thriving community of 250 artists in a 501(c)3 nonprofit.
Members were asked to enter up to three works of art.
Art check in was Friday & Saturday, and made easier by these HBAL volunteers who accept & hang work to be judged.
The Opening Reception is Saturday, November 10th 6-8PM
I demonstrated for a class on a big canvas awhile back ...
I called it the "Longnecker Sisters", for obvious reasons.
It wasn't done, but sat in my garage waiting.
I brought it in to try to finish it for an entry.

I started by adding black acrylic to outline and define.
The long necks weren't intentional when I did this quick demo, though it is a problem that I deal with. I knew it wasn't great,
but there was something about the interaction of the three
that appealed to me. So I didn't gesso it.
Tissue collage for the lower background, as the girls looked on.
Once the background was done, I started in on the sisters ...
I think worked too long, got too close which is easy for me to do,
but I am not completely happy with their make-over.
The final version is below and will be in the show.
 |
| "The Longnecker Sisters": graphite, acrylic, collage & ink on 30x40" canvas. |
My additional two entries are Fred and Zoey.
 |
| "Fred": collage, acrylic & ink on 5x7" wide canvas. |
 |
| "Zoey" : collage, acrylic & ink on 5x7" wide canvas. |
Where my entries are kind of silly, there will be many
really fine works of art from the talented HBAL members.
I am hoping you might get to go in person.
A smile for Sunday ...
