Lylas Kay ~ Dutch Art Gallery ~ by Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

"Lylas Kay"

Acrylic on canvas
9" x 12"

This whimsical figure is one in a series I've called "Lylas". I don't have a sister but share a close association with 7 members of Canvas by Canvas and I refer to them as "my sisters" and we often sign our emails with "lylas". (Love You Like A Sister). One in the group suggested I name the paintings from the group so my list is expanding to family and now includes other friends. This one is named for an online friend who is assisting with the gallery show at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas where this painting will be found.

Artist Self Portraits:
David Lobenberg has just posted on his blog the results of the self portrait challenge #2.
This challenge was to paint yourself with something adorning your head. I've got my head wrap on straight but one of my eyes is slightly askew. Since it's a gouache painting, I will give it another hot lick. If you'd like to participate in challenge #3, he's accepting suggestions "from everyday prosaic to wild and whacky". It's great fun to see such an array of self portraits.

"Love You Like a Sister" Lylas Laurie

This whimsical figure is one in a series I've called "Lylas". I don't have a sister but share a close association with 7 members of Canvas by Canvas and I refer to them as "my sisters" and we often sign our emails with "lylas". One in the group suggested I name the paintings from the group so my list is expanding to family and other friends. This one is named for a new online friend, Laurie who is responsible for the Daily Painters of Texas. Thanks, Laurie, for being a lylas friend.
I've painted 4 in a new series for the miniature section (under 14 in.) for the "Preservation is the Art of the City" show September 11-26, 2009 at the Community Arts Center, Fort Worth, TX, free and open to the public. Fifty local artists were juried to exhibit in this show and have the choice to exhibit one or up to 9 paintings each. A portion of the sales will help fund preservation programming for Historic Fort Worth. I hope you can visit the show.
