"Best Buds" Contemporary Figurative Oil Painting by Arizona Artist Mary Opat


"Best Buds" Contemporary Figurative Oil Painting by
Arizona Artist Mary Opat

24" x 30" Oil on Canvas

If you know me, you know that I love water.  This painting was inspired
by remembering wonderful days spent at the lake in my childhood hometown.
I can almost hear the gentle waves and feel the cool water.  I hope you can too!

My new digs


I set the canopy and new mesh walls up all by my lonesome last weekend
 and it was surprisingly easy!  I'm looking forward to being at the Queen
Creek Olive Mill on Sunday, Dec. 13th with the San Tan Artists.  The venue
is beautiful and makes such a relaxing day.  If you're in the area, come out for wine tasting, live music, and delicious food, as well as the best art in the the area!

Artist of the Month


I was happy to get the "Artist of the Month" award at the November
GVAL meeting! 

 Many of the members worked on painting 5"x 7"s for the
 upcoming benefit sale in Gilbert.  The profits from the sale go to fund a 
scholarship which is awarded to a local high school senior who excels in the visual arts.  

If you have a chance to get to the Gilbert Historical Museum during the 
month of November, stop in the Gallery and view the members' show.  
The art is of excellent quality and most of  the pieces are for sale.
I'm so grateful to be a member of this group!
