The Earth Without Art

So you know how I had the element “water” for that Elements Show last month? Well – apparently we are rotating elements for the May, June, July, August Art After Dark‘s (First Friday Art Walk in downtown San Luis Obispo, CA).

June = EARTH.

First let me say that May has gone by in the blink of an eye. The June 1st deadline for EARTH has come way too fast.

I’ve completed three illustrations for the June 1st show of Elements. The first evolved from the desire to represent Mother Nature/Mother Earth in some form. The other two are the first of a new series inspired by a poster I saw on Pinterest and posted here. I guess the theme I chose is not the first thing a normal person would think of when they think “element – earth” – but being an artist/arts administrator I’m pretty partial to having art on earth. Unfortunately the arts are being cut out of public education… that’s perhaps a topic for a different post…. I hope you like them!

If you’re in San Luis Obispo County this Friday, June 1st head to downtown SLO to Tartaglia Realty (968 Monterey St.) to see these and the other “Elements” in person!
