What the PWAS Members Are Working on Now
Periodically I like to ask the Prince William Art Society members what they are working on now and see what the artists and photographers send me. I've called these posts "What's on your easel?" but that doesn't necessary account for digital artists on their computers or perhaps their work tables.

Definitely the PWAS members have the Bluebell Fever that's been going around since the April 7 Bluebell Festival and that's covered in some previous blog posts, like here and here. Here are some photos submitted of what the artists that answered the call of "What are you working on?"
From PWAS Artist Nicole Goble
I’ve returned to acrylic and have been working on a collection called “Virginia in Bloom”. So far I’ve finished “Magnolia Sisters” and “Bowing Bluebells” inspired by photos taken by PWAS members from Merrimac Farms.

On my easel currently is "Spring at Merrimac Farm" which is 16x20 in acrylic on gallery wrapped stretched canvas. The Bluebell Festival at Merrimac Farm in Nokesville, VA was on April 7, 2024 and the beauty of all those bluebells just had to be put on canvas. This is pretty close to being done. Hmmm, now...what's next on the easel? (pondering....)

Doreen has been working on Zion and Bluebells.

I'm working on the below piece titled "Taxes" and the other titled "A Walk With Grandma". "Taxes" is a combination of acrylic paint/brush, markers and pouring. "A Walk With Grandma" is done in acrylics.

I am working on my pieces for the “4 The Love Of…” show at Creative Brush Studio in Manassas. Each participating artist is to choose one word as the theme of their four paintings, all of which are to be on 10”x10” or 8”x8” wooden panels. My word this year is “Nature”. (I figured it was a word that would give me many subject options.)
The photo I’m sharing here is my “work in progress” painting of a manatee. He’s the only one I have that’s far enough along to share. Why a manatee, you may ask. Well, because they are so darn cute!
I hope everyone is able to stop by the show to see all of the artists' entries.
The show will run from June 9th- July 20th with the opening reception on June 9th from 2:pm-6:pm. Now let’s see if I can get all of my four pieces finished in time!
From PWAS Artist Zee Berrios
My present painting on the easel. It is 48" X 60" (almost a mural). It is a painting in the "Renditions Series". It is based on the painting by Georges Seurat titled "Sunday Afternoon on La Grande Jatte". It will be a modernized rendition and it will be titled "Another Sunday Afternoon".
Thank you to all the artists that responded. I can't wait to see the final product! What do you all think of these works in progress?
