Post 40: Do You Prepare Artwork for a Particular Art Theme?

Do You Prepare Artwork for the Clearbrook Themes?

I do, do you? The Prince William Art Society changes their Theme Wall (and all artwork) bi-monthly at Clearbrook Center of the Arts and the next "Changeover" is coming up in early November.

A New Theme is Coming

Maybe its me, but I like knowing far in advance what the upcoming PWAS Themes are so that I make sure I have something to fit that theme. That must be why I created the Blog Page: Themes. Although I was never a scout, that motto always stuck to my head like a sticky note: Be Prepared. 

As far back as June, I was painting for the "Fall/Harvest" Theme (September and October) and the "Winter/Holiday" Theme (November/December). The January Theme "Orange" is weighing on my mind like a large pumpkin helmet.
 
My question for you is - do you paint something FOR that Theme Wall, or just use what you already have in your inventory?  

See, I'm ready for winter...

Clearbrook Center of the Arts

PWAS (AKA the Prince William Art Society) has gratefully been granted the use of Clearbrook Center of the Arts here in Lake Ridge, Virginia - a part of Woodbridge. It is located at Tackett's Mill Shopping Center, on the far back side where the Mill and water fountain are, in case you are not familiar. The PWAS Members hang our artwork there and the gallery is open on the weekends.

We volunteer our time "manning the store" and welcome our visitors, pointing to our Theme Wall which is located to your immediate right when you come in the door. Members are encouraged to submit themed artwork each changeover - typically smaller works are displayed on that wall so that there is room for everyone. 

Certainly not all artwork hung has to be for the Theme Wall each change period. Where's the fun in that if everything was pumpkin flavored?

By the way, I'm painting an Orange Koi fish for the January/February art theme...

Local Art: Visit us at Clearbrook Center of the Arts at Tackett's Mill in Lake Ridge, VA on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 – it’s free to see the artwork! Want to join PWAS? Go to https://www.princewilliamartsociety.com/membership
