"Signature YOU"
​
January 17, 2025-February,  2025

SHOW PROSPECTUS. Artist’s Choice: Open subject. Show us your signature style! How do you MOST identify as an artist and how do you want to be known? This can be through technique, medium, color palette, or subject matter highlighting your unique voice. Look to your past or present artwork for clues into your signature style. If you feel you don’t have one, this is a great time to revisit past favorite work and explore where your art is going or where you’d like it to go.
 
About Signature You: Art submitted should be cohesive, forming a mini body of work with shared characteristics that showcase one signature style or “look”. All mediums encouraged.

*Our exhibits are for all ages; adult language and strong religious or political themes will not be considered. Work should be original and void of trademarked or copyrighted phrases and imagery.

Happy Holidays to everyone! And a Happy New Year!
 
December is such a busy month; I have decided to let Friday Morning Plein Air be dark for December.
 
Plein Air will resume in January 17, 2025. So, save the date!
 
 I will be looking for indoor locations. I also have gone to Vasquez Rocks, Mentryville, Halfway House Café and Central Park in January.
