100 PAINTINGS IN 100 DAYS #13


Title:  Where Eagles Soar
Medium: Acrylic
Size: 6x8
sold
Well, What can I say! I guess I love orange I just can't help it.  It is such a warm fiery colour it gives me a lift.  I have been in Whitehorse for a couple of days now and all is going well. Although the roads are pretty slick with the temp. hovering around  freezing. My first day at YAAW was truly great !  I am so happy to do my part and helping out makes me more apart of it.  I really like the energy at YAAW - I feel there is a real sense of community and sharing.  Harreson Tanner and I took down Nicole's show and today John Boivin's show goes up.  He is an acrylic landscape painter. The opening for his show is tomorrow night and I look forward to being there.
The gallery has a solo show every two weeks and all the artists help the other artist whose turn it is for the show.
Walking around the gallery yesterday and just visually drinking up all the beautiful art was so inspiring.
Another Quote for the Day:
"But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40: 31

  1. This is lovely, Jackie - I like the way the sky moves through the shades of orange. I think I have some fabric that has similar ombre shading (although it may be pink, I haven't dug through the stash lately ^_^)
