Interesting the various stages of metomorphosis some paintings go through. Art historians and art experts have discovered many master paintings that were painted over other work. 

If a painting makes the rounds through all the galleries and venues and art competitions and does not sell, I can't leave it laying around the studio. Some smaller work that we really like will become part of our home collection, otherwise it gets gessoed over and repainted.

This painting started out as a commission with a completely different subject. The commission didnt work out for the client but the initial sail boat design ended up as this ferry painting which will be my featured piece in the Alki Arts April exhibition, "Slice of Life"  

Diane Venti owner and director of Alki Arts writes; 

  "April brings an exhibition of scenes of daily life, as masterfully depicted by artists Brooke Borcherding, Robin Weiss, and Brian Cameron. Each artist, with their own signature style, captures the moments, places, and feelings that make the memories that we hold dear to us.

If you are in West Seattle be sure to stop by the gallery for the opening on April 5th from 5-7pm. Always a fun time in the nieghborhood as many art lovers gather for music, wine and of course, some of the best, affordable art by local and national artists in Seattle!
