Here is an example of a piece and its description from the show that has been sold but can still be viewed until May 11.
Heaven,
2010, 12x12, Acrylic on Canvas
A place where living
people cannot truly describe. A place where various religions have differing
beliefs about what the next life may hold. A place where I will forever
imagine.
This piece was created
using a palette knife and the ends of paintbrushes to create a textured look.
As it was painted, the canvas was turned every few minutes to catch and move
dripping paint. The goal was to create an abstract piece, but the end product
trumped this goal by drawing the viewer in to a mysterious landscape.

I'm afraid to say that it is just as tedious, if not more, than last year's entry. But, although it is a slow and careful process, it provides me time to be conscious of the art that I am creating and the message that I want to give. The next few weeks will be full of many artists connecting with venues and creating artist profiles about their work - check it out at www.artprize.org!
