Malibu Artist Reception!  art exhibits art
My Iceland Abstracted paintings at the Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art

This years art exhibit was a big success! Got to show a collection of my watercolors from Iceland, along with the poems they were based on. It was my first time exhibiting poetry, which was a little intimidating, but the outcome was extremely rewarding! Keep your eyes peeled for my book with the full collection of my Iceland Abstracted paintings and poems, coming out later this year. Much thanks to all those who made the trip out to Malibu!! -Gayle

Upcoming Art Exhibit at the Weisman Museum, Malibu art exhibits art
This year I’m exhibiting 15 watercolor paintings along with the poems they were based on. The paintings were chosen from a collection of about 35 watercolors from my Iceland Abstracted series which encompasses poetry and painting. The work was done mostly in the field in moleskine journals—on location in Iceland. If you have the chance, come on out to the museum!

LA has been burning this week, which also means out of the destruction emerge the most spectacular sunsets…all the junk in the atmosphere is making our sunsets over the ocean look like paintings with cotton candy clouds and liquid mercury waves. I shot these in Marina del Rey:

Rock #1 photography art
As of late, I’ve found myself shooting more and more photography. Up until now, this blog has featured primarily oil paintings, then both paintings and illustrations, and now I’ll be expanding that to include photography. This was shot near Venice Beach, California. -G
