The Pandemic
The pandemic has affected people’s lives around the world. We just got back from a long trip and immediately had to shelter in place. Fortunately, we have a back garden and a deck where we can watch birds and other creatures. We have a lot of free time to do what we enjoy, so besides watching movies, I started working on my watercolor painting skills or lack thereof. Below are a few pieces which I deemed decent enough to show.
Prints, anyone?
If you are interested in purchasing a print (canvas or fine art paper) of any painting, send me an email at paintingsbycynthia@gmail.com. Please specify your preferred dimensions, your location (for shipping charges) and I’ll give you a quote.
Exhibition at ArtSeen Gallery Postponed due to Coronavirus
Due to the Coronavirus situation, the exhibition “Colors of the Spirit” is postponed indefinitely. I will update you as soon as information becomes available.
After so many years, an exhibition!
I will be exhibiting at ArtSeen Gallery in Rockville, MD, together with my former art teacher and friend, Neil Joffe, from March 23 through April 25, 2020. My painting above, will be included in the exhibition, Colors of the Spirit. The opening reception will be held on March 29 from 2 – 6 pm. Watch this space for more details!
Why I’ve stopped painting!
I haven’t been painting for more than two years now. It has nothing to do with the lack of desire or inspiration, but more with practical reasons. My paintings are piling up and I haven’t sold a painting for a while. Why, you ask? Besides actually creating art, an artist has to work hard to sell. Because I simply don’t have the talent for salesmanship, I resort to posting my art on social media like Facebook and Instagram, and sites like ArtPal. How effective these are remains to be seen. So, until Lady Luck strikes or a strong wave of inspiration engulfs me, I won’t be painting anytime soon.
