Has anyone been to/had a show at the Nebraska Arts Council Showcase Gallery? I went there for the first time Friday, and I was pretty impressed. It's a really nice space, and there were quite a few people at the opening. I think they have a pretty wide variety of styles there. Maybe next year Luke and I will get around to submitting an application for a show!
I also went to the Blue Flamingo this weekend. It's a thrift store/fair trade store kind of place. On the last Friday of the month, they have a little event with free coffee and cookies, live music or readings, etc. When I was talking to one of the people there about doing a painting performance at one of their events, she mentioned that they're planning a fence-painting-party for their garden in the spring. They're planning on letting anyone participate, and decorate the fence with paint, mosaic, whatever. Might be a fun activity for all of us!
I noticed we have a new blog member. Hi Sam, I think you had some paintings at the Omaha Magic Theatre at the same time Luke and I had paintings there. Small world!

Yes, I did. Small world indeed. What kind of paintings do you guys paint. Maybe I'll remember them. Blick is having a 50 - 70% off canvas sale this weekend. I loaded up with 20 plus a few other things. I've heard about the Nebraska Arts Council, but have never been to one of their events before. Has anyone been to the Omaha Community Playhouse? I've heard they have a gallery there called "Stage Right".
Here is our website - it's terribly out of date, but a lot of the Magic Theatre paintings are on there. www.lukeandmolly.com
I haven't been to the Omaha Community Playhouse in awhile. I remember them having art up in the lobby area, but I didn't know they had an actual gallery. I think that's a good idea. The Blue Barn Theatre downtown has a small gallery, as well.
Great website. I paint in alot of acrylic and collage too. I love newspaper. It's so interesting when you let some of the type show through the paint. And I've always wanted to learn Fresco. Maybe we could get together some time and paint.
Heh, well, our "fresco" paintings aren't actually real frescoes - just paint applied to a wet modeling paste/gel mixture on canvas, but it's sort of the same thing.
Getting together to paint sounds like a great idea. Maybe in March sometime? Anyone else up for it?
Not sure what you had in mind, but sounds cool.
Interesting. I use molding paste sometimes, but always waited until it dried before painting on it. What medium do you use to paint on the wet molding paste? I imagine oil is not ideal, as it will be repelled by the water. March is better than Febuary for a painting get together for me. It's just too cold right now. I will be out of town March 3 - 9th. I'm willing to host at my place. I have a large workshop in the back of my garage. I only have two easels, so folks will need to bring their own. I have lots of counter space and tables too. Plus a fridge to store the beer/soda (if needed).
I think we used liquid acrylics on the modeling paste, and maybe some watered down thicker acrylics.
Mid-March sounds good to me!
