Amorous Grasshoppers and Other New Art

We've been working overtime this week to get at least 15 new small artworks finished for the next art show this First Friday evening, 10/01/10 at CoArt Gallery located at 846 Santa Fe Dr. Denver CO. 

Flowers, bugs, and animals illustrated or altered photography, are hand-colored with acrylic paint and then transferred on to 6" colorful wooden backgrounds.  LOVE this new series and can't wait to show it off!  These pieces will be $55.00 each, and, we'll knock off a few bucks if you buy three or more!  

Select 8" mounted print versions are now available online in our Etsy store.

 Here's a few new images:

June's Mixed Media Floral Art

The June First Friday art walk was crazy busy! If only the art sales flowed as much as the wine... The wine bar had a line all night!  Brent and I were in that line a few times. Then, later, sat out in front of the gallery harassing people for our amusement.

We showed our latest co-pieces inspired from a day at the Denver Botanic Gardens, and got great feedback from the crowd.   Brent did most of the photography and digital composing of these designs, then, I hand colored the images before we transferred them to their supports.  They turned out very cool!  We sold one that night, and a couple since the show.  Once the art comes down from the gallery walls, we will have them available in our online stores.  Here's Sumac, Lupine, Iris, and Peony.

2LF at CoArt Gallery in Denver - by Derek Cadena

If you're just visiting or you live in Denver, you have to stroll up and down Santa Fe Drive's art district.  First Fridays (every first Friday of the month), are Denver's busiest nights for art gallery patrons and collectors to see what's fresh and new. 

We have joined CoArt Gallery at 846 Santa Fe Drive, between 8th and 9th street.  We will have new works hanging every month, and there are 20 more artist members, so, there's plenty of art to look at, and buy... Come on down, enjoy some refreshments and help support the arts, and the artists!
