"Red Skirts" Contemporary Landscape and Figurative Oil Paintings by Arizona Artist Mary Opat

"Skirts" Contemporary Figurative Oil Painting by
Arizona Artist Mary Opat
 
14" x 18" Oil on Canvas  $395.00
 

Here's another painting that was started on Tuesday.  It kind of fits with
 my last few figurative paintings of ladies with brightly colored clothing.
I'll put it aside for a few days and make changes after looking at it with fresh eyes.
Inspiration was from another photo taken by "World Traveler Gailen Frysinger.
Please visit http://www.maryopat.com to see more of my work. 
I'll be adding more paintings soon.

Gilbert Art Benches

I have decided to "throw my hat in ring" with other local artists
to create one of many art benches for downtown Gilbert.  An
application process is submitted by the artist. Local business owners
and organizations have the opportunity to select an artist and
will have an input on the design.  The benches will be
a tactile and practical way to bring more art to the downtown area.
The number of benches will depend on how many sponsors
participate. I'll make updates if I'm chosen.  Stayed tuned!

Art on display

Art at Cholewka Law Office
 
Today I made a trip to the great town of Gilbert to hang a few of
my paintings at the Cholewka Law Office.  The two paintings
on the outside are mine and the painting in the middle is by Barb J.
We placed about a dozen pieces today.  Thank you to the folks at the
law office for being so supportive of GVAL.  After we hung the
paintings we went upstairs to Art Intersection to view the
artwork currently on display.  Art Intersection is a wonderful
addition to Gilbert.  Its nice to have so much local support
for area artists.

I couldn't resist painting these little pigs today.  I'll have to wait until the painting
