I'm very excited to present "Reading the River," an exhibition of my project about the NYC waterways! If in the area, please join me April 12 at 6pm EST, at Queens Public Library/Central for the opening reception (and Q&A if you have questions).
Also mark your calendar for two workshops: Writing poetry about your relationship with the waterways, with poet Sherese Francis on April 22, and Papermaking with shredded water poems on May 6. https://rejinleys.com/RtR #ContemporaryArt#exhibition#NYC
Start your day with a grateful heart, look at the positive things in your live, enjoy happy and bright colors. I wish you all a happy day with this abstract acrylic painting in vibrant colors.
In this abstracted watercolor painting of a sunflower I used all colors of the rainbow like bright yellow and orange, vibrant blue, teal, purple and green.
Ok starting a new art thread for 2023! Here's the deal: a mostly daily thread with a different artist every day (sometimes I repeat from previous years if I feel like featuring other work/projects), primarily modern and contemporary since that's my thing. I'm even making a hashtag for it in case that makes it easier for folks to follow. Enjoy! #art#BigArtThread
