MEMBERS SHOW AND SALE
December 5-20, 2014
www.printmakers.mb.ca

I will be participating in this years annual event with a simple piece called Inside Outside. Though the exhibit was open to any medium of which I considered many, I did want to have something print-based and in an area that I have been working on, which has been in the area of comics and experimenting and playing with comic pages. So what you see below is NOT what I have in the show but very similar.

What IS in the show is a continuous horizontal strip of all the panels. It looks really cool. Each of the panels is a movable block which enables different formations on the page and the print aspect is really neat because each print is an individual graphite rubbing. So they are all a little different.

Painting For Sale

TREE OF ENVY  .  $3,000  .  acrylic on canvas  .  24 x 26 inches  .  1985  .   framed

I am looking to sell this painting of mine for the current owner who had originally purchased it in 1985 which is also the year in which it was painted when I had a studio at Forum Art Institute in the old CPR Station building.

When I saw the painting again I was struck by it's size and vibrancy of color. The photo I had been viewing all these years certainly was not as bright and I had become accustomed to the darker image. So it was nice to be shaken out of my mist. Pure bright color was a staple of a lot of my work in the 80's, pretty much all of the rainbow colors in  one painting, but I seemed to have had a kNak to combine and blend them in a way as not to be garish I was told once. 

When I took a photo in B & W I was surprised at the melding of the foreground tree with the background sky and this combined with the shapes in the sky was like a memory of seeing nature on magic mushrooms. So no need to take it when you've got the painting.

Ring or e-mail me if your interested. (shipping included)   nak@mts.net   or   204.956.7675
