Monet and Cezanne article published on Emptyeasel.com!

Today, 11/09/07, I am proud to say my second art-related article I have written has been published on http://www.emptyeasel.com/! This one is a discussion comparing and contrasting the work of two great masters, Claude Monet and Paul Cezanne. It is entitled "Monet and Cezanne: The Path To Modernism", and can be read here:

You will notice the editor of Empty Easel has changed the title slightly, but the content is basically the same. Please take a look, and I welcome any comments!

Portfolio Article Published on "emptyeasel.com"

Today, 10/12/07, the article I wrote entitled "A Freelance Artist's Guide To Preparing A Good Portfolio" has been published on emptyeasel.com!! This is a great site for my fellow artists to check out, and has alot of useful information including ways to promote your work on the web and elsewhere, and painting techniques; and what I like about this site is that one is able to submit their work to be critiqued....if it is featured on the site, the editor will give you a free plug to your own web site!

It also features various articles written by other artists, like the one I submitted. Please take a look at it here:

My Reward Of Praise

This past weekend, I delivered my second commissioned piece, "Sunset Dream" to its new owner. As she opened her eyes after I took it out of my portfolio, the look of astonishment and amazement as to its beauty will be something I will never forget.
To have someone appreciate your artwork to such a degree after giving you minimal instructions on what they want and never seeing it in progress, is the best reward an artist can ever get!!

I highly recommend any artist to do commissioned work, whether it be for a large corporation, small company, or for a person's home. It will verify your ability to please others with your creations, and such satisfaction is better than any amount of money you can earn for it.

Upcoming Art Festival, "Art Across The River"

I will be participating in my first "Art Across The River" Festival, Sponsored by the Columbia Portland Cultural Society on Sunday Sept. 30, 2007. Rain Date is October 7, 2006. Hours for this event run from 9am-5pm. This is a particularly special event because the artwork will be judged, and artists have the potential of winning cash prizes!

This will be located outdoors on the walking bridge spanning the Delaware River, between Portland, PA and Columbia, NJ.

In addition to Arts, Crafts and Antiques, there will also be a barn tour, pumpkin painting, car show, demonstrations and music.

Artists who are interested can email renemathez@embarqmail.com, or for more information, please view their web site at http://www.artacrosstheriver.com/.

p.s. This was a wonderful event, and I reccommend it to any artist, of all levels. What a wonderful day, and what a view from the walking bridge!
