New Work Wednesday & eARThworks

10/31/2012

My new painting this week is entitled Island.

©2012 Mary C. Nasser, Island, mixed-media/acrylic on canvas, 3 x 4 inches

This painting layers maps, olivine, metal ephemera, acrylic paint and media on a small stretched canvas.

Looking forward to another art reception this week...Friday night is the opening reception for eARThworks!
The exhibition contains artwork donated by sixty St. Louis regional artists to benefit The Missouri Coalition for the Environment.

And I'm honored that my painting Boundaries was selected for the postcard announcement!
Below is an image of the the front and back of the postcard announcement.

Also, it's been a goal of mine for a while now to create a montly email newsletter.
I've finally created my first newletter...it's here if you'd like to check it out.
Any tips or suggestions from those of you with newsletter experience would be greatly appreciated, too.

I've even added the sign-up buttons/forms onto my webite pages!
If you'd like to receive my monthly newsletter, too, just add your email below!

Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
Hope you're having a wonderful week!

Mary, your work is beautiful and inspiring. As the daughter of a geographer it has particular resonance for me. I used to love watching the cartographers at my Dad's office hard at work. I envied the precision and detail of the work they got to do for a living. Mitzi (your newest follower lol)
