My friend, Jerri Stevens, did this painting of a frog for the Art Center of the Ozarks 5×5 event. Tonight from 5:55-7:55 (isn’t that cute?), I’ll be surrounded by jazz, sipping wine, and visiting with artists and collectors, but all that will likely take a back seat to the bidding frenzy! Over 200 regional artists participate in this fund raising event and it has become hugely popular to begin, or to supplement, one’s art collection with an assortment of fantastic five by five artworks. In years before I knew of this event, I had collectors commission paintings in this format so they could continue to grow their collection. They say it is so much fun to be able to arrange the tiny pieces and rearrange them as the numbers and styles represented grow. Let’s hope every piece in this year’s exhibit find its way to its rightful home tonight. Here is the piece which I did for the show. This photo focuses on the side view to show you how thick these canvases are and to show how the title of my piece, toying with momentum, wraps around the sides. Scroll down a month or two back to see the shot straight on.
