What are you working on and what are you setting aside to work on in the next six months? Are you planning? I am a planner! Covid has definitely thrown a few curve balls our way, but not all bad, I hope! If you want to, let me know some of the positive things you are doing or creating while staying at home more. . Since school facilities are closed for now, I am trying to decide on my finish for this ceramic piece. Acrylic over this spray..., but am taking my time to think about it... Should be fun! (I think I have a couple more pieces tucked away, so (w/ these, sculptures, paintings, and writings) I have plenty to keep me occupied until spring. . #getoutsideyourcomfortzone #contemporaryartist #exploringidentity #covidart . #marylandartist #contemporaryartist #designinspiration #homeinteriors @annapolisartsdistrict @creativelicense @ewrartist #postmodernexpressionist #annapolismd #chateauoart #elaineweinerreed #ewrartist #7fineartists #abstractexpressionism #contemporaryartist #masksandmirrors #newyorkart #ceramicsculpture #acrylicpaintings #exploringidentity #layersofmeaning #figurativeart #livecreatively #modernart #MDArtsUnite https://www.instagram.com/p/CFaCtMVDqk8/?igshid=12yyt4yjrwmkk

International Society of Experimental Artists 2019 Fall Member Only OnLine Juried Exhibition Artwork by Elaine Weiner-Reed titled Queen of Hearts. Here is a statement about the work: An extension of my "Masks and Mirrors" series, this bas-relief is my way of straddling the 2nd & 3rd Dimensions. Once mask was placed, I realized I faced a mind-bending puzzle stretching into an 18-month exercise of creatively integrating color, texture, and facets into meaningful trompe l’oeil. #queenofhearts #basrelief #masksandmirrors #exploringidentity #contemporaryartist #virtualartgallery @marylandhall @annapolisartsdistrict @creativelicense @ewrartist #postmodernexpressionist #annapolismd #elaineweinerreed #ewrartist #annapolisartsdistrict #marylandhall #7fineartists #abstractexpressionism #groupdynamics #workingwithmyhands #contemporaryartist #onceuponasomeday #acrylicpaintings #layersofmeaning #figurativeart #livecreatively #modernart #MDArtsUnite https://www.instagram.com/p/CBN1y5eHKOW/?igshid=1rulenpun1bb9

I took the sculpture… The last two drawings… From conception to clay to polyester resin cast sculpture. Unfortunately, I gave this away many years ago, and I think the recipients threw it away. That was six months of work, so now you know why I rarely give pieces away anymore… Smile. . The drawings based on my examination of nuts is what eventually led to the sculpture. It became very organic, even more than its roots. . Looking back to move forward… I was so fortunate to have found all these sketches and many many more and old sketchbooks I have been organizing. . Are you thinking about your roots as an artist? Where you came from and where you’re going…? Everything matters! . #exploringidentity . #claytoplastic #wcuartist #fromsketchtosculpture #plastersculpture @annapolisartsdistrict @creativelicense @ewrartist #postmodernexpressionist #annapolismd #elaineweinerreed #ewrartist #annapolisartsdistrict #marylandhall #7fineartists #MDArtsUnite #abstractexpressionism #groupdynamics #workingwithmyhands #contemporaryartist #kunst #masksandmirrors #exploringidentity #layersofmeaning https://www.instagram.com/p/B-3TybqHXQo/?igshid=1lodehmxalyap

“The Music in Her” ... I am so pleased to learn that this painting was accepted into the Maryland Federation of Art’s online exhibition ?Binary?Nonbinary? - where I am one of 38 artists selected by show juror Dr. Yuriko Jackalls. . The online exhibition should be live very soon on MFA‘s website (Curve Gallery). . This painting was the first of about five paintings I have created inspired by the music and soul of the outstanding musician/singer/songwriter Vanessa Collier. (You definitely want to give her music a listen) . . A positive shout-out & THANK YOU to the MFA and its entire team - they have not missed a beat keeping the shows on track and the art out there for all of us to see!!! . #7fineartists #ewrartist #contemporaryartist #exploringidentity #themusicinher #artistsinspiringartists #MDArtsUnite #abstractexpressionism #groupdynamics #mdfedart #workingwithmyhands #contemporaryartist #kunst #masksandmirrors #figurativeart https://www.instagram.com/p/B-pj5RiHZvr/?igshid=jx2fvfl0ddny
