Want to Buy Original Art But Don't Know Where To Start?

"I may not know anything about art, but I know what I like." (Sound familiar?) Come out to First Friday and see what you like. "City Dwellers" © Tabetha Landt Hastings acrylic and oil on canvas 16x20 You don't have to be an expert to purchase original art, you just have to know what you like. And you're bound to find something you like at the art walk. All you have to do is come out, look around, see what moves you. Talk to the artists. Have fun with it. Art is personal - don't worry about what anyone else thinks. If you happen to fall in love with a piece of art, you should take it home. If you're budget conscious, many artists have surprisingly affordable originals for sale, and others (myself included...ahem) may be willing to work out a payment plan. This Friday February 3rd, 6-10pm Studio One 802 Santa Fe Drive Denver 80204 Would you like to see your own art featured at Studio One? Email me with a few jpgs or a link to your website. Pictures, pictures Westword stopped by Studio One last month, and darned if my picture didn't show up on Westword.com, along with my studio-mate Wynne Reynolds, and one our First Friday artists, Paige Hill. Woohoo! Check it out and see if you recognize anyone else. ________________________________ If you've been to Studio One on a First Friday you've probably noticed me taking a whole bunch of pictures. I post those pictures to my Facebook page. Feel free to peruse the photos, and if you see yourself in one, tag yourself (you have to "like" the page first).

Circle Game

Circle Game ©Tabetha Landt Hastings
I don't know what the reason, but lately I've been preoccupied with circles. And bubbles, spheres, disks, ellipses...you name it. Circular shapes, really. I'm not all that interested in perfect circles - I find perfection a bit dull.

This painting is just one of my recent works that showcases this shape (many of my paintings have moons in them - another preoccupation).  

What is it about these closed curves that have me wanting to explore? I don't know. Perhaps it's that every ending marks the start of something new. Maybe they remind me of portals to another time, place or dimension. Or it could be that I just really loved the way Glinda traveled around in the Wizard of Oz.

The original 16x20 painting is for sale, and the image is available on a variety of gift items including greeting cards, tee shirts, iPhone cases and even magnets. Also available in a fine art print.

Circle Game by TabethaLandt

My favorite Circle Game item? Interestingly, I think it's this travel mug. I love the way the image looks on the silver - it makes me think of an overcrowded galaxy where the planets all clustered together.

Forest for the Trees: new series!

Forest for the Trees is a series of twelve little paintings of lush green trees that I painted this summer. I was inspired by the texture of the bark, and the colorful foliage in the background.

Each painting is 4" square and 1.25" deep. They look great in different arrangements on a wall, or can stand on their own on a flat surface like a shelf or mantle.

I was really happy when Tamra snapped up two of these little paintings. This makes four of my paintings in her and her husband Ed's collection! 

There are still ten little forest paintings left. Click here to view the entire series.
