New Work Wednesday: Listened

5/8/2013

My new painting this week is entitled Listened.

©2013 Mary C. Nasser, Listened, mixed-media/acrylic on canvas, 9 x 12 inches

This painting layers collage, lots and lots of maps, graphite, and acrylic paint with the Old World Map
Series, Celestial and Shooting Stars stencils from Artistcellar on a stretched canvas.

Please click on the photo above to see a larger image.

I'm still limiting my palette to neutral colors and my favorite complementary combination of teal and copper and having lots of fun with the process!

Delighted that my painting Long Distances sold at the Regional Arts Commission last week, too!

This was 1 of 3 paintings I had accepted into the show Metro Art Exchange - Artropolis!
The show features 22 artists of Artropolis – a group of arts-related spaces located in the Sears wing on the upper and lower levels at Chesterfield Mall.

Metro Art Exchange - Artropolis opened May 3rd in conjunction with the exhibit at The Gallery at RAC entitled DRESSED, curated by Michael Drummond of Project Runway.

Both exhibitions continue through August 2nd!

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