Delano Chamber Players, The Horn Society & Art
Posted By Carrie L. Lewis on September 24, 2008
The afternoon of September 28, I will be exhibiting work at West Side Baptist Church in Wichita. The art exhibit will be co-featured with a live performance by a local orchestra. The concert is at 3 p.m. and will be followed by a reception.
This is the second in an ongoing series of exhibits combining the talents of many professional musicians from this part of the state and the talents of local artists.
The art exhibit will be available for viewing before and after the concert (and during the concert as well for those who prefer to shop and listen at the same time).
The focus of my portion of this exhibit will be my larger horse paintings in oils and colored pencil, such as Grandfather’s First Love (colored pencil), above.
West Side Baptist Church is located at 304 West Seneca in the Delano District of Wichita.
The concert and exhibit are free of charge and the public is welcome.
The next concert for the Horn Society will be Sunday, November 2, and the next group concert will be Sunday, December 21, 2008. Both concerts will be at West Side Baptist.

I am a self-taught artist for the most part. Lots of trial and error in the past forty years! Formal art training consists of a couple of years of high school art, a painting class at a community college, one semester in the Fine Arts program at Abilene Christian University and a couple of local workshops.
I am always looking for ways to better my artistic skills, so I am a permanent student in the School of Trial and Error. I love reading and have been known to spend hours online researching materials and techniques. As a result, I've painted in several different styles, including the direct method (which goes straight for the color) and Classical methods (which involves underpaintings, layering and glazing).
I have exhibited paintings in locations such as Lone Star Park Race Track, Grand Prairie, Texas and Remington Park Race Track, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Since the early 90s, I've worked with the Michigan Harness Horseman's Association, donating custom portraits to their annual benefit auction.
In the course of maintaining a growing art business, I have taught myself web design (a skill that will no doubt prove to be a continual learning experience).
I also enjoy puttering around the yard, chasing trains with my husband, Neal, travel and, of course, looking at horses whenever they appear on my horizon.
This is a really interesting blog post,I have added your blog to my favourites I really like it,keep up the good work!
Thank you!
