Wrapping Up an Eventful August

In the last 2 weeks, I attended a productive meeting of my artist’s critique group, I went to a really fun art opening–the juried show I’m in at San Diego’s Museum of the Living Artist, and I made progress on three large paintings.

An inspiring critique session with my artist’s group:

North County Painters Critique Group, August 2014 meeting. Art by Daniel Ketelhut.

The art opening at the San Diego Museum of the Living Artist in Balboa Park:

The museum is an impressive, beautiful space!

Even though I arrived late for the opening, the place was packed!

I tried to get a close-up photo of myself with my painting, but I never got an opportunity because there was a constant stream of people stopping and looking at it. This is a good problem to have. 🙂

I admired a lot of artwork and truly enjoyed the grandeur of the large, open museum floor.

Here are some of the other walls of artwork in the current show. Clearly I am in good company!

And, I have to say, San Diego’s Balboa Park in the evening is truly a magical experience.

The show is up until September 20th, and admission is only $3. If you’re local, check it out!

In the studio, I’m working on three 32″ square paintings simultaneously, and doing a lot of thick palette knife painting experimentation. Here’s a super-quick time-lapse of me working on one of the new pieces in the studio:
