SANDY GARNETT ART BLOG

I am flying to Chicago for a portrait commission tomorrow Friday, returning Sunday.  I will stay with my old friends and spend an hour or two getting photo references of my three subjects, which I will be painting in a full size triple portrait.

I did this gravestone etching last week.  I use a diamond tip dremel type instrument to scratch off the stone polish, so I’m drawing in white on the stone more or less.  I have done hundreds of these over the years, and I barter for stone and sandblasting for my sculptures.

I have been busy on either side of my recent open studio.  Here is an image of the presentation.

This 2008 painted sketch is described in detail at

Art of the week - Mother and Child, acrylic on canvas, 20x16 inches

This painting is posted in my artwork of the week section at www.sandygarnett.com

This drawing from 2006 is being displayed in LAA Draws at The Loft Gallery at 845 Canal Street in Stamford, CT opening Friday 13 March 6 to 8 pm.  This drawing is priced at 600. and the frame size is 24 x 20 inches.

My solo show comes down this week.  The show was a success.  The opening got 300 people and a big party, in the dead of winter, in a historically unique economic climate.  Thanks to all visitors and supporters.

I will be returning to regular blog posts this year as I expand my website and mediums, including video and my music.  Thanks for checking back.
