Symphony by the Sea Concert 2012

Last night, Ron and I attended the Symphony by the Sea Concert 2012 performed by the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. The concert was held at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater under the watchful gaze of King Neptune, a 34-foot high statue.

Here is an image of the Orchestra warming up before the Concert. A medley of Disney music was the theme for the evening. As the Orchestra performed, colorful images from Disney movies were displayed on the back screen.

We took a few photos of these images but the photographs came out too dark since the sun had already gone down.

Since I spent the last week purging my Studio of clutter, the Concert proved to be a relaxing respite from cleaning up. I even did some sketching during the Concert.

TAG Meeting at Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA)

Robert Sites Painting

Yesterday, the Tidewater Artists Group (TAG) held our meeting at the beautiful Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Virginia Beach. Sunday was also the last day of the wonderful Robert Sites Exhibition. His work is very inspiring. I love the effects that he achieved with both imagery and color. You can see more of his art at the Mayer Fine Art Gallery site.

The main theme of the TAG meeting was a variation of Show and Tell where members presented the art work that they created at Art & Soul and gave a synopsis of the individual workshops that they took. It was great to see all the various art pieces and gain more insight about different mixed-media art techniques.

Mosaic Workshop with TAG

Last Sunday, our Tidewater Artist Group (TAG) held a Mosaic Workshop hosted by Linda Simon. Linda is founder of Linda Simon Consulting (Illuminating the Essence of Entrepreneurs).

We had over twenty members participating in the Workshop. The Creative Energy was very stimulating. And we learned a lot from the talented Linda. This was my first experience with Mosaics and I loved every minute of it - even the messy grout. As you can see above, I completed a Mosaic Mirror.

I can envision another mixed-media art interest overtaking me. I've already purchased tiles and tile knippers.
