New Sculpture

This afternoon artist Jay Rolfe attended an opening reception for local artist Dennis Haggerty at the Chester County Art Association. Dennis had a large and strong show. His specialty is New Mexico (where he spends the summers) sunsets, and they are beautiful.

While at Haggerty's show, I saw local artist Susan Curtin and complimented her on her 3 paintings we saw on display Friday night after the First Friday opening we attended at a new restaurant in West Chester. She paints marvelous still life and barnyard and farm animals. On display were two roosters and a large still life of various kinds of squash.

Today's photo is of artist Jay Rolfe working on a part of the large sculpture I mentioned in my post on Wednesday, September 5, 2007. It's going to be very interesting!

This is the latest step of artist Jay Rolfe on his Journey From Starving Artist To 21st Century Picasso. You may view some of Jay Rolfe's unique artistic idea, his 3-D Shaped Stretched Canvas paintings, on his website at http://www.3dssc.com/.

Jay Rolfe: Chester County Art Association ... last night on my journey From Starving Artist To 21st Century Picasso

Don't you just love the future Jay Rolfe's projecting for himself? I do!

In yesterday's post I forgot to mention the nice coverage of Laura Barton's solo show at the Chester County Art Association by John Chambless of the Daily Local News. Nice job, John!

I went to the exhibit with my wife Randy Rolfe, http://www.randyrolfe.com/. We both enjoyed it very much. Laura had a lot of people interested in her work, and sold well. She called her show "Continuum, a show of where I've been, I am, and I'm heading." She does very nice town scenes and landscapes of the local area. "Relic" was one of my favorites of her more realistic style. Since my personal taste runs toward Impressionism and bright colors, I love where she's heading. One of her earlier works, "Long Island, ME #2" presaged the move. My favorite was "Illusion" for its beautiful sky. "Morning Dog Walk" I also liked for its even more dramatic sky, as well as "Waiting," "A New Day," and "Gold and Platinum," a nice farm scene painted over canvas and credit cards with a holographic bird showing through the paint. Very interesting.

It's always inspiring to see the success of other artists. You can learn more about Laura by visiting her website, http://www.laurabarton.com/.

That was another step on the journey of Jay Rolfe From Starving Artist To 21st Century Picasso. You can see some expressions of my unique artistic idea on my website at http://www.3dssc.com/.

This was a painting day for me. All day. I've been working on my latest painting, "Sexy Lady," which I described in my post yesterday, Thursday, March 1, 2007. It's coming along nicely.

Tonight I'm going to the opening reception of a solo show for Laura Barton, a local West Chester artist, at the Chester County Art Association. I saw the painting she put on the invitation postcard at the Art Forum last week (see my post of Friday, Feb 23), so I'm looking forward to seeing more interesting local scenes.
