One of the paintings I was keeping a secret before the opening was the title painting/centerpiece of the show.
It's one of the largest paintings I've done (though by normal-people standards, not really that big). The show really feels right with this one at the center.

I imagined an almost-deserted carnival...maybe just before a storm. In fact, the whole show ended up (to me) feeling like the moment just before a tornado passes through, when the sky is an eerie green and everything is oddly still.
I found the perfect golden frame for her, complete with an engraved diamond pattern. I'm so excited to share what all the pieces look like in their framed state (the gallery has beautiful photos of each of them, all framed up). Soon, soon.
And I'll post photos of the opening next...full of cotton candy and happy people!
