This is
perhaps the first time in the past 6 years of business that I have
had a month nearly completely booked with some sort of activity in
the way of promoting my work and customer/client meetings. On the
schedule for September is not just 1 but 2 different art auctions
that I have work in!
KVIE ART
AUCTION & PREVIEW GALA

| Golden Prince by Dawn Star Wood |
This
year marks the 6th consecutive year that I have had one of
my paintings in the annual KVIE Art Auction where 100% of all sales
of donated work during the auction go to the local PBS/KVIE (Public
Broadcasting Station). It helps them run the TV station along with
producing educational programing such as NOVA , History Detectives,
Healthy Body Healthy Mind, and American Masters. Last year was the
first time I have ever been awarded a Juror's Choice Award, which was
for my entry Sultan's Prize. This year's entry is Golden Prince. I
wanted to do something along the same lines of last year's entry
(having a bird representing an ancient culture) but instead of using
the majestic peacock, I chose the little heard of Chinese GoldenPheasant. Amusingly enough, the first question I was asked when I was
entering the piece was “Is this a real bird?” to which I couldn't
help but chuckle and reply “Yes it is”.

| Lady of Shalott by Dawn Star Wood |
PENCE
GALLERY ART AUCTION
A bit of
a surprise but recently I was asked by my curator at Pence Gallery if
I would like to participate in their upcoming art auction. A little
last minute but I said yes. To celebrate 38 years of being in the
Davis community, Pence is holding an art auction featuring the works
of local and regional artists. The piece that I decided to enter was
my painting titled Lady of Shalott which was based off of a photo of
my lovely friend, Denmark-based model Ida Mary Walker Larsen of
mizzd-stock.deviantart.com. Part of the proceeds of the sales goes to the gallery while the rest goes to the artist themselves so go ahead and support area artists!
