Day 2 of Duality: Camel No. 3 - Red

Thought I'd try something new and actually paint at the exhibition venue today. The light that floods in is brilliant. The familiar smell of incense and the calming yogic energy that flows through is both invigorating and soothing. And to have a solid block of uninterrupted time to stay focussed on work is something quite lovely to get reacquainted with.

Please stop by Yama Yoga Studios and not only visit me, but check out their schedule of classes. Everything from salsa to wushu, pre-natal to mommy-and-me, intro yoga to pilates...Today's crowd included the cutest bunch of little girls coming in for their beginner ballet class.

I've met such a lovely, diverse group of people over the last few days.

As promised, here is today's installment in the series of photo essays that highlight art work included in Duality.

Camel No. 3 - Red: acrylic on canvas, 36"x30", 2010

I was really intrigued by the rarity of black camels, and wanted to include one in my camel series.

However, in the process of filling in all the red under-layers of the camel's face to add depth and texture, the "camel-that-came-to-be" simply couldn't be painted over anymore. So I just completed the background, and here she is:
