Merry Holidays!

Just wanted to wish all of you a wonderful holiday. 

May your Chanukah candles burn bright, 

your Christmas tree twinkle and 

may you not explode from eating too many latkes!

Holiday Show Filled With Delights

Visitors at the holiday show and sale were able to enjoy an array of delights. There was handmade jewelry made with "millefiore" beads and hand coiled wire, as well as handpainted pins. Sharing the table with the jewelry are notecards with my most favorite images and unique, original collages made with hand painted papers.

There was lots of new artwork to see, all beautifully framed and displayed in my home setting. Guests came from as far as Maryland to see the work. Plus it was an opportunity to see the new series "Magical Minis." One of the pieces purchased from that series appears here: EXOTIC.

MAGICAL MINIS -- NEW SERIES

A new series, entitled MAGICAL MINIS is being launched at Artist Karen Friedland's Art Show & Sale this weekend. The series, glamorous and edgy, is created from a mix of media: watercolor, acrylic, ink, marker and rice papers collaged together for fascinating results. The work has been tastefully framed in silver and black to produce a stunning package, ready to enhance any space. Most appealling is the price: under $100! See these new works, including "ENTICE" above, Saturday and Sunday, 1-5PM at 190 Marlborough Road, Brooklyn, NY.

Artist Karen Friedland Exhibit At Connecticut Muffin ---- Meet The Artist Friday, 7 - 9PM

An exhibit of my art work has been installed at Connecticut Muffin. The show, entitled "The Moroccan Way" consists of work inspired by my travels through Morocco. The colors and designs of this rich and ancient culture provided stimulus for the imagery.

Several of the pieces depict the Jardin Majorelle, a lush garden environment built by designer, Yves St. Laurant, in Marrakesh. Other imagery includes a tannery where hides were "processed", a rug shop and a water seller, whose colorful attire and brass cups might entice you, but with dire consequences if you drank. Paintings are rendered in pastel and mixed media and two transfer prints.

There will be a "Meet The Artist" reception this Friday, October 10th, 2008 from 7 to 9PM. The show will run through October 27th. Connecticut Muffin is located on Cortelyou Road, by Stratford Road.

Painting at right: "Musicians - Morocco" one of the pieces at the Connecticut Muffin exhibit.

Hope to see you there on Friday. What do you think of this theme?
