Jo M. Orise April, 2016 Art Update

"Morning Watch" by: Jo M. Orise

 NEW artwork is now available for viewing at my virtual gallery, http://www.jomorise.com

27 paintings in 11 months!


Rumor is, "Spring has arrived." Therefore I am getting my artwork ready for upcoming art shows. My plan includes group shows and solo shows.



Go to  http://www.jomorise.com See what I've created and please leave a comment. 

• A 'Like' AND Written Words are always appreciated. It is delightful to have people "like" my work or "not like" my work. I welcome honest critiques

•  Critique: a careful judgment or opinion about the good and bad. Questions may be  asked, such as:  'have you tried.....' or 'have you thought of....." or "why did you do/say that?" Critiquing is something I introduced to my art students as well as to my animation students. It is practiced to assist one in a journey of creativity without being rude. Critiquing art and manuscripts has been around since the 1800s.

After working so many hours, a simple "like" is nice, but words have more lasting power. 

Oh, but I do "like" lots of things—popcorn, pizza, comfortable shoes, being in a "flow state."  (See previous post re: 'flow state')

Yes, I plan to open my home studio to the public by appointment. It will be fun to find out what will happen.
