The paintings shown above are pastels that are now on view at a chiropractor’s office in Los Alamitos. This is part of a “revolving gallery” so to speak sponsored by the Lakewood Art Guild. The Guild has through the years contacted businesses that were interested in having original artwork on view in their waiting rooms, etc. The paintings are changed every 2 to 3 months (depending on how busy the head of this activity is! ) The first three are obviously on one wall and the single picture is in an alcove near the main reception desk. Unfortunately, I was there with the artist that was taking her work down and the time of day wasn’t the best for lighting, reflections, etc. I’m planning on going back in the morning when the light will be better for photos.
Also, the hooks on the walls in all locations are permanent, so in this case, the spacing may be less than ideal because they were allowing room for larger paintings than I had available for display. I’m planning on replacing the two smaller ones with larger pastels sometime in April. I think I’ll be happier with that…..and the people at the office will be seeing even more art! Sounds like a win/win to me.
If there are any Southern California people interested in seeing my pastels, the business is called Alamitos Chiropractic and Nutrition Center at 11274 Los Alamitos Blvd,, Los Alamitos (Dr. Cynthia Burkhardt, D.C. is the owner). It’s not too far off the 605 freeway in the Von’s Shopping Center. If you do visit, I’d love to hear any comments you may have.
That is AWESOME! I know the gallery situation is often not perfect but it’s a chance to have people see your work! How exciting!!!
You’re right about the gallery scene. More and more artists are turning to the web, outdoor shows or group activities like this one.
J,
I see a couple of little “tags” on two of the pictures. Is this a label that gives your name, etc. ? Info about the scene? Congratulations on being so brave!!!! Of course they are all beautiful.
