Las Vegas Artist Guild Display of Copper Bookmarks
My idea about how to show off what I can do with copper patina will be on diplayed at Las Vegas Artist Gallery next week. Copper is quite soft metal to work with and the patina can be from a deep purple, bark blue to a turquois. The piece that goes in to the book is made from hammer copper, this helps harden it so it’s harder to bend. The feather has been pressed and hammered in to shape but still can be bent. My artist side of me likes a feather to act like a feather, light and delicite. So please treat the feather as a feather made out copper by a artist. The entire piece has been laquered to seal the color.
Thank you Terry Pratchett I used a portion of your book Wee Free Men.
Christmas cards for 2022 will have something to do with candles. The first four candle with candle holder. I will cut them to 5″ x 7″ and attach them to the blank card. They will go to Las Vegas Artist Guild Gallery. I don’t make prints anymore I’d rather spend my time painting not cropping images.
Im not on ” Social Media ” any more, my WordPress Blog post on all platforms to display my art work.

I drove up to Mesquite NV to there fine arts center for the Invitational show reception. I was part of Las Vegas Artists Guild. Thank you Mesquite fine arts center for putting on the show. There was a great turn out and a lot of great art to look at.
I’m back at Las Vegas Artists Guilds gallery I have a dozen of my 8 x 10 paintings and 4 of my bells for sale. I’m here from 2 to 9 today and tomorrow.
Done for the day at the Las Vegas Artists Guilds gallery back next Tuesday 6 to 9. The oil painting needs to dry. Then add highlights and shadows. Then add the leaves.
First break at Las Vegas Artists Guilds gallery. The oil painting’s cloth is still in the ugly stag. I really don’t copy my photos. The painting will tell a simple story.
I put “Oil can on truck rim” back up on the easel for shadows and highlights. It made it have more depth. It’s a 8″ x 10″ oil painting done here at Las Vegas Artists Guilds gallery at the Galleria Mall.
Old truck needed highlights and shadows. It looked flat it needed another layer of oil paint to push the house back. I’m at the galleryuntil 9 today. Then back next Tuesday 1:00 to 9:00
“The old garage” My photo came a small town of Thompson Springs UT. The painting looked more like garage than a Cafe. 8″ x 10″oil painting is on a canvas board.
There is some beautiful art at the Las Vegas Artists Guilds gallery. A all volunteer crew hung a gallery full of local artists. The tables and the glass cases are full of more paintings, ceramics and prints.
The gallery is open 10 am to 9 pm with volunteers working behind the Desk
I’m back at the Las Vegas Artists Guilds Gallery tomorrow afternoon to help hang all work that came in in the last 2 days. There some very talented artists here in Vegas. Come in and see it’s at the Galleria just right of the upstairs entrance to Dillard’s. Open most day 10 – 9.
