September: A Creative Month

The past two weeks were very productive:

the painting inspired by the photo of a Dark Cherry Tree from Camillus, NY by Dan Elsbey was finally completed,

I finished 6 small nature-inspired paintings in acrylic on canvas that celebrate the importance of contemplation and silence,

 I started Steve Marrone's Willow tree from Tipp Hill, in Syracuse, NY for the Best Onondaga County Trees Photo Challenge,

and the sky of the Community Symbolic Tree was successfully blended and finished thanks to the fabulous painting job by Ellen McCoy and Phoebe Vitharana on Saturday, September 6 at the Manlius Library!

There is still so much more painting to do and I need your help!

My next  Community Symbolic Tree's event is this Saturday, September 20 from 10.30 a.m. to 1.00 p.m., it's free and open to all Onondaga County Resident 16 years and older.

Contact me via email at mariarizzoart@gmail.com to book a 25 minutes painting session, your creative energy will be an essential element in the creation of this painting, plus you will gain some hands on experience on how to paint in acrylic!
