Saturday night’s reception was quite a change from the previous night in Temecula. It was the hopping place to be. We had about 30 artists showing work and a lot of supporters. The theme of the show was ‘Indivisible’. Rafael McMaster, our leader at Hermosa Beach Artist Collective had designed a logo to embody this: Create a division sign, then put an x through it. There were a couple blank canvases on the wall next to the door and everyone was encouraged to ‘make their mark’!
Despite the quality of the artwork, I think I was the only artist whose artwork embodied the theme of the show. Not sure if it was good or bad that a couple people commented that they thought my painting, behind the desk which functions as the bar during receptions, was the logo for the show. Hmm. Comments encouraged. One of the things that I like about my painting, “One Side“, originally designed for entry into a competition on art to promote world peace, is that I could photoshop the saying in any language for reproductions.
