....................cleveland art sculpture.....................
This ONE turned out to be a real winner. Sometimes the simplest ideas turn out to be the ones that resonate with jurors and viewers alike. Page down for the finished work.

Click here for Lakeland Community College show information.  Of 220+ entries juried by Dana Oldfather,  70 pieces by 37 Ohio artists were chosen for this exhibition.  The Cleveland Connection exhibit's work was fantastic!  And the great news is ONE won one of only three cash awards.  I'm honored to have had my work chosen for an Award of Merit by Dana Oldfather against some very stiff competition.   Show runs July 29 - September 13, 2013.

Is there anybody out there who doesn't love, love, love cupcakes?

This is the first of the small, sequentially numbered, one-of-a-kind serial sculptures I'll be giving away in the contest on this website's anniversary! 
  Have you entered yet?  What are you waiting for?

Watch here to see how the painting takes shape!

Each face of the block is gently distressed and has a different representation of the numeral.  Click to enlarge the images below.

The theme colors will be red, red-orange, orange and a variety of blues, along with the obligatory black which makes the other colors pop.  I'm moving along and still have some sections to paint...like the flavor so far?
..and here it is below, entirely painted.
What the final slideshow doesn't show, is that I've replaced the candle with a firecracker.  To see that sweet little touch of irony, come and celebrate with me and the rest of the Cleveland West Art League gang for the Cleveland Connection show at the opening reception at Lakeland Community College on
Saturday, August 10th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.  The show runs through September 13, 2013.

But hey.  Why wait.  Here's a gallery shot in which a firecracker has replaced the candle.  Remember to enter my annual sweepstakes and win a chance to take this whimsical sculpture home with you!
