Flew Like the Wind

Flew Like the Wind

Is it me, or does it seem like January flew like the wind? As I write this there are only two days left in the month. My schedule is quickly filling up for the next few months so I thought I’d share a few things that are coming up.

Next weekend I’ll be doing a demo on painting with oil and cold wax for the wonderful members of the Treasure Island Arts Guild as well as serving as judge for their current art exhibit. I love sharing my techniques with other artists. This photo is from a demo done in 2019 for the Brandon League of Fine Arts.

Love live painting and your picture snapped for eternity is with a funny facial expression.

I am exited to announce my art will be featured locally at Dwell Home, Tampa Bay's first unique shopping experience full of furniture, design and decor. The grand opening is February 15 from 12 to 5 pm. If you’re in the area, please do stop by to enjoy live entertainment, free food and drinks and more.

I’m so happy to be back in the studio painting. Here are my newest paintings for 2020.

Evening’s Grace | oil and cold wax | 12 x 12 inches

Moments of Happiness | oil and cold wax | 12 x 12 inches

Tucson is Home | acrylic on panel | 11 x 14 inches

The last painting was snapped up so fast by one of my Facebook fans I didn’t even have it titled. I gave that honor to my newest collector from Arizona now residing in New Hampshire. It brings me such joy when my art can evoke wonderful memories for my fans and collectors.

In March I’ll have a few artworks displayed in a wonderfully curated group show opening March 14 at The Cider Press Cafe in downtown St. Petersburg, FL. The theme is Landscapes:Interpreted. More on this show coming next month.

Happy Holidays from Mary Mirabal Art

Happy Holidays from Mary Mirabal Art

As 2018 comes to a close and I count my many blessings, I want you to know you are included in that count. What an amazing year it has been, and your continued friendship and support has been a big part of my success and happiness.

I continue to learn and grow as an artist. Broadening my horizons and getting outside my comfort zone have resulted in some different and beautiful new art this year. Thanks for continuing to cheer me on in this pursuit.

Here are just a couple of my latest paintings which you may not have seen. If you’d like more info on either painting, simply click on the images.

Paradise Lost, 36 x 36 acrylic on canvas

Paradise Lost was created as a tribute to honor all those who lost their lives, homes and more in the tragic wildfires that have ravaged California recently. The events have touched me deeply, and I felt the need to convey my thoughts on canvas.

Connections, 36 x 36 acrylic on canvas

Connections was created to embrace the way each of us, and the entire universe, are connected in ways we may never fully understand. From the tiniest creature to the vastness of the heavens.

Our home is decorated for Christmas, and I am fondly recalling memories of Christmases past as a young child. We’re looking forward to celebrating the holidays with our children and now four grandchildren. Christmas was always magical for me, and I hope my grandchildren will feel the same as they grow up.

If you’re like me, you’re already making plans for 2019. I have two solo exhibits I’m excited about. One in February and the other in November. At least I know I’ll be busy at the beginning and end of 2019. I still have a few of my 2019 calendars left if you need a last minute gift idea. They’re really beautiful and practical. I’ll hand sign each one.

Just click the button below to see more on the calendars. Once they’re gone you’ll have to wait for 2020!

Thank you so much for being such wonderful fans, collectors and friends. Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season and all the best in the coming year!

Blessings from your artist friend, Mary
