| Please upload a JPG of your work in progress |  |
| Please upload a JPG or PNG of a picture of you that we can use in the show. We prefer a headshot or something that clearly shows your face. Please make sure it’s high enough resolution for print. |  |
| May we potentially use your work in progress image as part of promotional activities? | Yes, please do. |
| Describe the work including planned media, size and presentation format. (All art forms are accepted for this call, but there must be a physical representation of the work ready for display. Most often this is a framed and ready-to-hang two dimensional image.) | This Mixed media painting is 16″ x 20″ |
| Describe your contemplative practice in relation to the work so far. | I have spent a long time studying the photo and the painting in progress. I enjoy the composition and wanted to do it justice. I have to admit that I’ve been struggling with it- it is not finished. |
| Describe your engagement with nature in relation to this work so far. | I took this photo while walking with a neighbor who introduced me to Green Parkway in Salem. I have a memory of walking with her, chatting and enjoying nature around us. |
| Describe your engagement with the text in relation to this work so far. | What struck me about the book is the time she spent on the slightest detail and describing the subject at great length. That’s the way it is with me when I paint. I study the smallest detail in the photo and remember the actual live scene with father and daughter. I remember the weather and the lovely time spent with my neighbor. |
| What questions, or primary question, have arisen for you in pursuing the work so far? | How do I make this painting speak to the viewer? How do I communicate the camaraderie between father and daughter, the nature around them and the memory making? |
| What have you learned in the process so far? | I’ve learned that communicating the mood and atmosphere of this photo has not been easy. I chose to use mixed media with collage and acrylic. This has been difficult for me because just painting with acrylic is easier for me and I’m still learning. |
| If applicable, please describe any challenges that will prevent you from participating in the effort or completing the project on time. | n/a |
