Las Olas Show, Oct 24-25, 2009, A Success

Greetings All.

This past weekend, Oct. 24 - 25, 2009, in the 22nd Annual Las Olas Art Fest, I participated in my first outdoor art show of the 2009/10 season. This was also my first show in my relatively new endeavor as Greg Sherman Art LLC.

In spite of the weather-- some rain and very hot, humid conditions-- and relatively weak sales for all artists, overall it was a success for me in many respects. I made some nice sales of several small originals, many prints-- Giclees both on canvas and paper-- and established many good prospects for future sales. Overall, the large crowd was pleased with my work and that is a nice feeling.

Many good friends dropped by and I thank them for that. And, I meet many new people.

My new display tent and components worked out well, and is not that difficult to get into place (Saturday began at 5:00 AM with artists getting their tents and art in place-- builds character).

My next show is this coming weekend in the Downtown Venice Art Festival which I am looking forward to. I'll have more information about this show in another posting during the coming week.

Please see a couple of photos above of some lifelong friends that came down from Jupiter: in the photo with me is Mary Clark, my late Mom's best friend of 40+ years. They were also painting partners, and individually and together widely respected and successful painters in the Palm Beach County area for many years. In the other shot is Mary, her eldest son, Michael and his wife Ellen. Michael (and his three younger brothers) together with me and my brothers and sisters go back 40+ years with many fond memories of the Shermans and Clarks getting together regularly.

Also showing with this posting is my most recently completed golf landscape, "PGA National, Championship Course, Number 16."

Be well, and hope to see you soon. Greg

Paintings Recently Completed: "Royal Poinciana in Bloom" and "Low Tide Mangroves"

Hello All, I hope and trust this finds you well.

Just three weeks until my first major outdoor show of the 2009/10 season-- 22nd Annual Las Olas Art Fest in Ft. Lauderdale.

Above, please see my two most recently completed paintings:

"Royal Poinciana in Bloom," 16" x 20" [unframed], Original Oil. This painting is based on photos of Royal Poinciana that I have taken in South Florida. Also, as best I can remember-- going back almost 45+ years-- this composition is based on the short walk up to the Intracoastal Waterway from my Uncle's and Aunt's home on 48th Street (many years ago, a wonderful neighborhood). I recall the path and a stately Royal Poinciana on that property (now a 20 story condo).

"Low Tide Mangroves," 16" x 20" [unframed], Original Oil. This work is based on a series of photos that I took this past summer off of A1A, North Singer Island. But, the setting could be one of many in the South Florida, and indeed coastal Florida areas.

These paintings will be available for sale at the Las Olas show and they will also be published in my limited, signed, and numbered Giclee print series.

Enjoy. Be well, Greg
