Exhibited Springville Museum

This is perhaps my favorite painting I’ve ever done, it is difficult to show all the colors and textures.   The painting is almost as tall as me, so when you stand back and try to capture the image it’s difficult.  It is vibrant and full of meaning.  It is the eighth in the series – only this time you see that the sun – or the Son is the focus.  The birds, us, are all in different stages of spiritual development.  We progress and we learn, and we are free.

We had a really good turn out at our art opening in September, it was a blast!

The Springville Museum is lovely, the staff is marvelous to work with.  Julie Buckley, George and Kirsten Barnhill were so great to exhibit with!

“God is Our Guide”

Most of the work was centered on God, relationships, family, things of a bigger picture.

I was blown away, Andrea and Talya came!  I haven’t seen them in years!  They are on my list of really fabulous people who I want to be like!  So many people helped us and supported us.  People traveled from all over to come, it seems that the world is much more friendly than advertised.  Thank you all so much!  We worked for a year and a half on this show, and it was really difficult.  Again, thank you especially to our families!

We had lovely refreshments!  Cheeses and breads and fruits – Yum!

Notice the lovely little glass houses with plants in them, so amazing, made by Julie Buckley!

“House Upon the Rock”

Wonderful lighting, on one of my favorite pieces!

Such variety of styles, and yet all of our art blended so well !   We had so many good comments and feedback!

The big one in the fore front was a bear to make and move and install – but it turned out so well!

It was such a lovely show!

Our artists statements were beautiful, black and white shots!

Thank you Kimo’s Kamera they were wonderful!

“Avian Angels”

Small things matter too, little ones, nature and children.

“Counting the Days Till We Meet Again”

I had 21 pieces in the show, and I may get them all posted, but it will take time.

This is a suitable piece to end with, considering the title.  It is also suitable considering how infrequent I post.   I will be working on this in 2011.  But as always, one thing at a time, considering the most important first, being filled with peace and satisfaction in life!

On May 1st I was part of  a group of people from Nephi that ran in the Provo 13 / 5K.  I don’t write about all the races I run, but this one was different.  Terrible weather, but we all seemed to have had a good time.  Running has become an addiction, I just want the weather to be some what decent so I can stretch my legs.  This race was deceptive, started cold, but not bad, then two blocks into it rain, then snow, then hail, then sleet!  Then it just mixed it up for the rest of the morning.  The weather was the main variance in this race . . . but the reason that I write about this one is that I didn’t feel as tired, as done in, or completely exhausted as previous 5ks.  I’ve fought anemia for as long as I can remember, and to feel strong enough is an amazing.  Running has changed my life, and I just wanted to thank Aimee for being the best neighbor in the world and helping me to believe in myself.  I miss you, and thanks!

Yes, the show at the Springville Museum is coming right up and all of us are working hard.  Julie Buckley, George and Kristen Barnhill, and Me will present new and fabulous stuff!  The show will include multi-medium, found objects, textiles, melted, earthy, highly crafted, 2d and 3d works!  That’s just the tip of what will be shown.

Above is a painting that I’ve been working on for the show, I think it’s almost done.  Soon I’ll start posting details of the work that will be presented – an appetizer.  So be there for the meal, Sept. 11, 2010!

I’ve had friends say that they love my images, but can’t afford the originals.  So I’ve set up an account with RedBubble.   Redbubble makes it easy, and very affordable to obtain all sizes of art.  If you don’t see the art you want, email me or check back, I’m always adding more paintings, and photos.  The painting below is on my Redbubble site at:     http://www.redbubble.com/people/cjfshine

Earth Bound Power #1

$795.00 (Original)

Or you can get a print etc. here . . .

I got accepted to the Hogle Zoo Show.   It runs from January 29 – March 14, 2010.  The address for the show is:   2600 East Sunnyside Avenue, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108.  It is a well established show for those who appreciate animals.

Affinity (Western Tanagers)

$995.00

24″x17″x1.5″

This is the painting that got accepted.  It features  a male and female Western Tanager.  I was considering relationships, and color, shape and Autumn when I painted this.   It is painted on panel, in this case reclaimed wood.  I enjoy birds, artistically and from a naturalist point of view.

Procreation’s Expiration Date - 2009

$1,995.00

This piece is about our limited time to live and create.  I also got comments about this piece from the Spiritual and Religious Show, but they where more along the lines of, oh yeah I know that piece.  So what does that mean?  It is good to be noticed and remembered though.  Others have said wow, that is so beautiful.  I love how it turned out and how the light plays with the clear acrylic.  It took forever to melt and shape it, but the look is terrific.  Note that the eggs have barcodes and expiration dates on them.

Eventually - 2009

In the collection of Kristen Barnhill

This is a spontaneous painting that is about events, warnings, things that will eventually happen.  Basically the future is coming, and it will bring changes, but we don’t know what they will be.  The full moon is a symbol of a phase that is now that will soon change.

Rising to a Higher Power -  2009

$1795.00

This is one of the pieces that I got into the Spirituality Show, the lovely thing is that when I picked it up the curator said that I’d had a lot of comments on it.  Also she said that when her mother came to see the show that this piece made her cry.  Wow!  It absolutely made my day.

The frame was made for this piece by George Barnhill.  It has 24k gold leaf around the edge.  George is an artist, in his sculpture and his custom frame work.
