off to LA
February 9, 2007Tonight I am dropping everything where it is and heading to LA for the Girly Show. (Maybe taking a step away for the weekend will be refreshing.)
In all the chaos of moving, I forgot to photograph the final paintings before I shipped them off. (oops) I’ll have to photograph them there, I guess. But I wanted to give you a sneak peek of what you’re going to see if you come to the show (please come if you’re in LA! It’ll be fun!)
Below are the four sketches I worked from… you should see them in color… I’m very happy with this mini-series. :)
In the first two, I wanted to capture that feeling of elation you get when you let go… feeling joy throughout your whole body. The third one is more meditative (I love the colors in this one), kind of showing how you start to feel no separation when you meditate/pray and the fourth is more calm and serene feeling…
“Float”
“Spinning with Birds”
“I Am”
“All is Bright”
Come see them in color at the show!

These are so beautiful, Penelope! You’ve completely captured the spirit of elation, joy, calm, and peace. Congratulations on your new art show. I live on the East Coast so I won’t be at the opening - darn! - but I’m looking forward to seeing these paintings in colour.

Very nice set. I can’t believe you can turn out such outstanding work when you’re distracted by a new house!

christine misses you already and i must also because i’ve been browsing your site all morning. i guess i HAVEN’T been here in a while. i love what i see though. and it was so great to meet you and colin. i am still so jealous of larry for snatching up the moon girl painting… not that i could’ve afforded it anyway. but yeah, hi!

Oh I love them! I can’t wait to see them in color. Any prints to be made of these?

I really like “All is bright”….so innocent and somehow mature at the same time. LOVE IT!

Really, really lovely. Your sense of composition is just great. I can’t help but compare these to your first, very earliest works you posted and be amazed at the growth that’s there.
Hope your show’s wonderful and fun! :)
