This one is fun! Viewed from different angles, it appears three dimensional, as though voices are coming at you.

Initially, I was going to call this "The Dance," because it reminded me of looking down at a crowded ballroom floor. The more I worked on it, the more it reminded me of a conversation of the kind where stories are going back and forth and around in circles.

"New Oxford Center Square" by Dianne Lorden

New pen & ink (w/colored pencil) that's one candidate for my submission to Heritage Days in the town of New Oxford, Pa. That event is in October.

"Wharf" by Dianne Lorden

Here's a detail from an illustration called "Wharf," which was voted the most popular piece at my recent Gunnar Galleries show. It's pen & ink and colored pencil, 16" x 20".

I'm happy to have made two sales at the show (this piece wasn't one of them).

"Just We Two II" by Dianne Lorden

Happily, the sea gull pen-&-ink illustration (called "Just We Two", which I posted last week) sold on Friday evening during the reception of my show at Gunnar Galleries. The buyers took the picture with them, so a space was left. As the curator had displayed the gulls beneath another of my pen-&-inks, called "Along the Wharf," and behind a beautiful shore bird in wood -- by artist Tom Watson -- the space really wanted to be filled with something similar.

Thus, "Just We Two II"! This new illustration is based on photos I've taken along the docks by Hatteras Village, OBX. $85.00

The show, which runs through the end of July, is at Gunnar Galleries (in the historic Sewing Factory building) on Fourth St., in Gettysburg. It's across from La Belle Italia restaurant, by the train tracks. The space is beautiful, and currently contains my artwork on the walls, the gorgeous wood carvings of Tom Watson and jewelry by Ann Ruppert.
