ARTLANDO Competition Painting

Started with a blank canvas at 11:30am and finished by 5pm on Sat. Oct. 27, 2014 at the first ARTLANDO event.  This big one day Art Fest took place in Loch Haven Park, Orlando FL.

"SUBWAY METRO" by Bonnie Sprung

This painting is the first in a new series. I'm still working on a series title.

The series will be of two images of the same but in two different places.

Back in 2002 I was riding the Paris Metro and this accordion player comes onto the car and plays. Of course I photographed him and painted him in oil on wood.

Then recently Sept. 2014 I was riding the New York Subway and this accordion player comes onto the car and plays. Of course I photographed him and thought what a cool concept to paint the two accordion player images together.

Here is the original photographs put together and desaturated the color.

The way I paint.... I use an assortment of bright acrylic colors then I finish off the painting with a combination two or three colors in oil.

DiskArt Paintings

CD/DVD RIPLEY by Bonnie Sprung ©

This painting can be seen at Ripley's Believe It or Not! in San Fransisco, CA.

There are 150 disks. Each CD and DVD were painted with a variety of acrylic colors; then linked together. The portrait of Robert Ripley was then painted in oils. Along with the final framing the total size is 4'5"x5'5".

When I delivered RIPLEY to the FL warehouse

On May 2, 2014 I debuted a new DiskArt Painting at Faith Arts Village Orlando (FAVO)  221 East Colonial Drive Orlando, FL 32801.

This new DiskArt painting has a total of 207 CD's. What is different from the RIPLEY is that the disks are layered giving it a 3D look. The final size is 5'5"x4'2". The painting is also a portrait of Louis Armstrong and called CD 3D LOUIE.

 CD 3D LOUIE has been hanging since May in the Casselberry City Hall, FL. On Sept. 5, 2014 it will hang for a one day show at the Downtown Orlando University Club. This painting is still for sale. 

Hanging at Casselberry City Hall, Florida

My DiskArt are created with CD/DVD disks that were old, worn and bad. So instead of them going into the garbage or recycle bin, they have found their way to me and I turned them into cool art. I am always in need of them, so before you toss any, please send them my way. I will give them a new life. One that will put smiles on faces in a new way.
 

Donation to BASE Camp Children’s Cancer Foundation

Back in February 2013 I created a project that helps raise money for BASE Camp Children’s Cancer Foundation.

With this project I create a type of Artist Trading Card called an ACEO (Art Card Edition and Original)

You can read more on how I got started and why on my first blog post on this project. Posted Wed. Feb. 6, 2013 at
http://uniquelysprung.blogspot.com/2013/02/bonnies-aceo-project-for-cause.html

Every time I created an ACEO card and someone has made a donation for one, I numbered the back, signed it and scanned it. The reason I make sure I have a digital copy of the image; is for another future project to raise more money for BASE Camp.

To date I am up to number 93 ACEO cards. The minimum donation for a card is $3.00 but many have donated more. My first donation of money raised was presented today to Terri Jones in the amount of $250.00.

Maybe after more people read this post and my earlier posts that they will want to donate for a cool motivational word ACEO card and the next check will be even bigger.

This photo is a gift I promised when I first met Terri Jones and Cindy Crespo-Whitaker. The first four ACEO cards I created are of BASE (Believe, Achieve, Support and Educate). I framed them for their new office.

Here I am presenting Terri Jones with a $250.00 cashiers check. 

Please share this post and my earlier posts.
The first will also explain why I am doing this.
