ArtStrokes -- Tracy Wall's Art Blog
Every now and again, I'll ramble about my art, the creative process,
art business, and anything else interesting or
newsworthy going on in my world.

Put on those running/walking shoes!
My Solo Exhibition at Abend Gallery will be closing soon (Aug 28), so make time to stop on down and see 50+ works of all kinds.
(On another note, if you’re in the Denver metro area, mark your calendars on Sunday September 27th for the annual Komen Race for the Cure raises significant funds and awareness for the breast cancer movement, celebrates breast cancer survivorship and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease.)

Not necessarily to look that specific trail, but to give me the feeling like I'm on the trail. I’ve come close here!
See this and 50+ others at my Solo Exhibition at Abend Gallery through August 28. [...]

Farmers’ Highline Canal Trail, Westminster 36″ x 36″ oil on gallery-wrapped canvas ©Tracy Wall
We are so lucky here as there are so many bike trails throughout the Denver metro area.
The kingpin of them all is the Highline Canal. Originally built following the 1859 gold rush, the builders hoped it would entice newcomers to settle in the area.
Just the Denver version is 71 miles long, but it branches off into neighboring communities like this one in Westminster, CO.
Now it’s used for hiking, biking , and for those in search of a little bit of nature in the city. Each [...]

“Where in the Bowl are You?” 30″ x 30″ oil on gallery-wrapped canvas ©Tracy Wall
Opening Reception tonight at Abend Gallery for my Solo Exhibition. Please stop by and say hello if you can!
While painting this one, I got to thinking how this bowl of Cheerios can represent a slice of life and our social interactions. (stay with me here…)
Sometimes we float along in life, sometimes we’re under water, some of us stay in the shadow, some of us prefer the light. Sometimes we’re in the middle of the action, sometimes off in the periphery. Sometimes we’re [...]

I couldn't do my solo exhibition at Abend Gallery and not include a few horses. : )
