| | | A Personal Note From de Shan
Yes, it's that time of year again - my annual "100 Drawings in 100 Days" is underway this month!! On the 15th July, I will begin completing one drawing a day, which will put the show at the end of October, 2009. Stay tuned in to my blog and I will let you know where and when the exhibition will be. Last year was the inaugural event, and it was such a success, that I have decided to have the show each year in October. I sold all 100 drawings, and I donated a percentage to charity, which I will also be doing this year. The show was held at Watt in the Powerhouse in New Farm, and although I would love to do it there again, the only thing that would hold me back is the lack of lighting. But, let's face it, it is a restaurant, not a gallery, and a very good restaurant at that! And again, the show is only for one night, the sales will be held for 100 minutes, and all drawings (matted) are priced at $100. What a bargain!! Especially during the current economic climate, we could all use a little art shopping spree, with minimum damage to your wallet! Sincerely, de Shan | | | What's On In The Local Art Scene? | | Recently I have been preparing for the beginning of my drawing expedition, but in between inspirational thoughts, I've been looking for great art shows and exhibitions to attend. It's a great activity for singles, couples and families, especially when the weather is cold and rainy... Stay inside, keep warm and enjoy some art - then grab a nice hot cup of coffee at the surrounding cafes!
 As i mentioned above, my annual art show, "100 Drawings in 100 Days" is about to get underway. Here are just a few of the images from last year's show at Watt in the Powerhouse.
The images were many and varied, and a couple of them have been the "working sketches" for paintings in my new oil series. There will be more of those to come also...
 Harlequin Girl, Pen and Ink on Cartridge '08
All of the images when matted were a standard size 11"x14", (28 cm x 35.5 cm) which easily fits into a ready-made frame from your local framers.
Please check out my blog each day after the 15th July, as I will be posting the images every day or two as they are finished. studiodeshan.blogspot.com/
And if you see one that you
Rooster Roulette, Pen and Ink on Cartridge '08

Stay tuned for the location and the date for the show.
