30 Paintings in 30 Days, A personal Challenge

For three years while I lived in Seattle I had the opportunity to participate in The Forgotten Works Challenge, where up to 50 Artists created 30 pieces of art on 8"x10" canvasboard panels, in a limited time frame of 30 days. The event is still going on, and now I hear they have up to 100 artists!

Alas, I cannot participate in the Seattle event, as I am now living in Moscow, ID. However, I love the idea of the 30 day Challenge, so in honor of the event in Seattle, I will post one 8"x10" painting a day, from today (November 10th, 2011) and end on December 9th, 2011.

Each painting is available for sale at $40. Unframed, though I will include a gummed eyelet to hang the piece as is. $5 Shipping. Just click the Paypal button under the artwork image to purchase.

Each piece will be signed and dated on the back, carefully wrapped and shipped to you as soon as the paint dries (two days, approx).

For updates please follow my blog, or "like" my Facebook Page - Dreaming Lotus Studios, or follow me on Twitter - aldisdl.

I will post the first painting at 4:30pm Pacific Time. Stay Posted!

50 Artists and Hot One Inch Action!

Hot One Inch Action is a show of tiny art - 50 artists were selected, and their work printed onto 1" Button badges. My friend Kathy Fuerst and I were two of the 50 for Seattle! And then the fun began... I wish I could have been there, Sure looked like fun. Kathy said it was quite the event. Check out some of the previous years buttons. Hope they will have this year's up soon!

Conceived by Jim Hoehnle and Chris Bentzen in 2004, Hot One Inch Action is the original, one-night only show of button art and social interaction in Vancouver, BC. The tiny art of fifty different artists is reproduced on one inch buttons. These one inch buttons are displayed on the gallery wall and the audience is offered the opportunity to buy randomly selected buttons in mixed bags of five for $5. Didn’t get the button you want? Trade with the people around you… how bad do you want that button?! That’s when the hot action starts. In 2010, the show expanded to include Seattle, WA and Portland, OR.

Artist & blogger Patrick Lennox Wright took some great pictures at the Seattle event, which was this past Saturday, November 5th. I'm including one of his pictures, because my "duckie" button in on the second button down on the left. And his expression... priceless. Check out Patrick's other pics on his site: http://plwp.blogspot.com/2011/11/hot-one-inch-action-piranha-shop_7017.html

See if you can spot the Duckies on other people too! A bonus is that they made each artist 20 pins of their design. Pretty cool, eh?
