Great Art Walk!

"Angles" - photo by John Semper Jr., hand-colored by Cynthia Friedlob

The Spring Brewery Art Walk was a huge success! Lots of visitors, wonderful conversations about art, and, to my delight, multiple sales of paintings, drawings, and photographs. One example: the hand-colored photo above was sold to an appreciative collector. I explained to him that the subject was presented in such a dramatic way that I needed to do something special to enhance what was originally a flat, plain sky. So, I created a few storm clouds to make the sky worthy of the classic car in this excellent photograph taken by my partner, John Semper Jr.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the studio, and special thanks to those who made a purchase!

Only One Piece Still Available in the Rochester Contemporary Art Center Show

I pleased that two of the three pieces in the 6x6 RoCo Show have sold! Only the one below is left.

The show is a fund-raising effort for the center and an opportunity for you to own a six inch by six inch print reproduction detail of "Angles," one of the hand-colored photographs currently on display at the show in NoHo. (NoHo and RoCo. Nice!)

All of the art in the 6x6 show costs only $20 and the entire amount is donated to the Rochester Contemporary Art Center. There are hundreds of other works available, too, if you'd like to take a look around for more art you can own for a song.

Click here to find and purchase this piece on the 6x6 RoCo website. Thank you!

UPDATE: Sold.

Waiting

The original black and white photograph was shot in 1970 by my partner, John Semper Jr. I hand-colored it in the 1990s. Each brick was individually hand-colored with Marshall's pencils. Further computer enhancement was added only recently, making the image more vibrant and compelling.

Glow

The sky was a flat, light gray in the original photo; I added a dynamic treatment to complement the minimalist image.

Ghost

There's something fascinating to me about derelict buildings. What life did this old place have in the past?

This photo and "The Landmark" are two of my favorites. The originals are framed together and hang in our home.

The Landmark

I like the reflections in the window. I always think that the customer is probably a landmark, too.

This photo is one of my favorites. The original is framed together with "Ghost" and hangs in our home.

Angles

The original black and white photograph was shot in 1970 by my partner, John Semper Jr. I hand-colored it in the 1990s. Further computer enhancement added later made the image more vibrant.

The sky on the original photograph was a flat, light gray; I created something more interesting to match the drama of the image.
