The Truckee Opening was a full evening. I had the opportunity to share both Paintings and sculptures. I am so grateful for the interest despite the thunderstorms. There was a nice turnout for the talk at 6 pm and questions during the demonstration of the processing of pigments and raw clays. I was able to introduce the audience to the set of sculptured reindeer, each representing an aspect of a working community. For example, “The watcher”, a tall white sculpture with highly textured clay body and dotted with pigment colors, represents the reindeer that watches over the herd while they graze or drink from a stream. Another, a tall black ochre reindeer carries the wisdom of the community. A small red reindeer rests peacefully surrounded by the sacred red ochre. Each reindeer carries a different story with an opening at the back of their heads where cave art and signs are painted inside. Here are some photos of the event.
On another note: I entered a “People’s Choice” online voting for Art. I hadn’t realized what this fully meant but now I am a part of it. Apparently it is sponsored by Johnny Depp. Anyway, if you are so moved, click the link below to add your vote to my Art. Thank you in advance. I appreciate the support. I see that the link connects with Face Book. Enjoy as always, each new day. Jennifer
