Return to Baltimore's ARTSCAPE extravaganza!!!

I returned to ARTSCAPE in late July after several years.

Many of the 350,000attendance (yes 350K) came by the booth, despite the hot weekend. My booth was in the center of the Maryland Institute College of the Arts complex. This booth featured only acrylics, no watercolors.This is one of the longest shows around (28 hours) as well as maybe the largest in the country, lasting from noon until late in the evening two of the three nights.

Please take a "walk" around my booth.

Cave Art Alive 56x44" $2500

Cave Art Fancy 48x48" $2400

Fun was had by all with a “New Orleans-like parade

Show Season Continues

I very much enjoyed my return in May to Stockley Gardens in the Ghent neighborhood of Norfolk, where I featured non-cave art.

In early June at the Frederick Art Festival, I returned to showing my cave art. The photo was taken by photographer Taverlee Laskauskas (Naha Fine Photography).

National Harbor International Art Festival 1-2 May

At National Harbor, I'm featuring cave paintings a la rouge. Red ochres were used in cave paintings and Martha has featured the color as if there had been plentiful suppliers to paint in red. I'll be in Booth 35. This shows is a few miles distant from my studio in Old Town Alexandria, just across the Potomac. Who knows...may even take a ferry to the show?

How different from the actual cave settings!

Martha D. D. Brumbaugh's SKETCHES AND PAINTINGS

This is my new presentation of paintings, plein aire and from my new studio in Old Town Alexandria.

I'll be posting frequent entries of my studio and plein aire paintings, experiments and my more known cave paintings.  These little paintings will be a presentation of new techniques, ways of expression, impressions, remembered scenes and a new approach to my familiar subject matter.
