Times Article

2008-11-21T20:35:00.002-07:00

Here is an exerpt from the Ft. Morgan Times article about the Cafe Lotus art show.

“We want to support local artists,” said Ann Iungerich, new president of the Morgan County Area Arts Council (MCAAC), in announcing an art show during the holidays at Café Lotus in Fort Morgan. The show will extend from Nov. 15 through Dec. 15.
Reorganized in the fall with a newly-crafted mission statement, the MCAAC is hosting this art show as the first of a series designed to highlight the work of local artists.
MCAAC member Nick Ng has opened his Café Lotus to MCAAC for the exhibit, which will be open during business hours. Art patrons will be able to meet the artists at a special reception held at Café Lotus on Wednesday, Dec. 3, at 7 pm.

Ann Iungerich, who lives in Fort Morgan, has dabbled in acrylic and watercolor work since a child. She has done many landscapes and interpretive art over the years, and is now branching into a colorful new style. She recently completed a series entitled “Genesis Project,” examining with color and design the biblical account of creation.
Several of her “Genesis” pieces will be displayed at the art show."

The Promise

2008-09-26T07:27:00.003-06:00

I had the priviledge of doing the artwork for the newest book for Maureen Kahl. It is the last in the series of three. It was an amazing experience. Starting from Maureen's vision, then transferring that to me in my minds eye and then to the final product. I'm reluctant to take commission works because most times the person can't describe what they see in their heads and get it into mine. She did an outstanding job describing the picture she wanted to me.

Maureen has both a website and a blog if you'd like to visit.

"Eye" see you!

2008-07-24T17:28:00.002-06:00

Here is one of the paintings I've done for the end of my creation series. It is one of my takes on man being make in the image of God. That is not an easy concept to try and portray. Thanks to my friend JoBeth for sharing her idea with me. I'm sure it's different that her mind's eye saw but got me going anyway.

These are a "few" paintings I did right before the 4th of July. They were a lot of fun to do. I love feeling the texture and the mixing of the paint on them. They range in size from about 6x9" to 24x48". They are available for purchase.If you would like pricing info, please send me an email with the number of the painting you are interested in. THANKS!

Memories in the Making

2008-05-02T09:44:00.002-06:00

I have gotten involved with the Alzheimer's Association's Memories in the Making program. Last night was the art auction. One of my pear paintings was paired with a patient's art. The pair sold for $550! It was a fun night and I was glad to have helped this great cause.

New paintings

2008-01-25T11:13:00.001-07:00

These are my most recent paintings. The trees with the colorful background was still from Day 3 of "green up". The moon paintings are from day 4 as is the tulip painting for spring with the sun.

Gen 1:14-19 The Message Bible says-
"14-15 God spoke: "Lights! Come out!
Shine in Heaven's sky!
Separate Day from Night.
Mark seasons and days and years,
Lights in Heaven's sky to give light to Earth."
And there it was.

16-19 God made two big lights, the larger
to take charge of Day,
The smaller to be in charge of Night;
and he made the stars.
God placed them in the heavenly sky
to light up Earth
And oversee Day and Night,
to separate light and dark.
God saw that it was good.
It was evening, it was morning—
Day Four. "

Mural Project

2008-01-21T09:24:00.001-07:00

Life Fellowship church in Fort Morgan is building a new building. I was asked to do a 3D mural for one of the walls. It is of a dove, cross and mountains from the stained glass window in the old building. The mural is built up with Styrofoam, carved to shape, and then meshed and stuccoed for strength and durablity. I started this project on Jan. 12. It's a big project not only in size, it's 12'x16', but also I've never done anything like this before. I'm learning as I go!

I've Taken a Break

2007-12-01T08:06:00.000-07:00

The break from painting wasn't intentional. It just happened. UGH! I have a few painting in process but Thursdays have come and gone and I wonder where the week disappeared to. I've been pretty much overwhelmed with sports photos. Our local high school football team did very well this year and I was asked at the beginning of the season to take FB photos of the team. Whew!

Hope to get a break from the rat-race soon! I hope, I hope!

Redemption

2007-11-09T14:00:00.000-07:00

My painting day yesterday focused on forgiveness, redemption and grace. I worked on seven paintings yesterday sizes 16x20 and 22x30. These two are my favorite of the bunch.
I was reminded of the verse from Isaiah 1:18,

"Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool."

A long time ago I painted a couple different concept painting with this same theme. I love the idea of black (our sin) + red (blood of Jesus) = white (forgiveness).
At first I thought I had gotten off track from Genesis 1, really redemption is what Gen. 1 is all about. The fall of man and God redeeming them (us) back to himself.
Cool.

Day Three

2007-11-02T09:38:00.000-06:00

Newest paintings.The tree paintings are to symbolize where it says in Gen. 1:11-13 from the Message Bible... "God spoke: "Earth, green up! Grow all varieties
of seed-bearing plants,
Every sort of fruit-bearing tree."
And there it was.
Earth produced green seed-bearing plants,
all varieties,
And fruit-bearing trees of all sorts.
God saw that it was good.
It was evening, it was morning—
Day Three."
The two sets, the red set and green set, are more just free-form paintings trying to capture the feeling of creation.

Starts, Finishes and Somewhere Inbetween

2007-10-19T12:41:00.001-06:00

The top two paintings are recent starts. They're getting closer to being done but quite yet.
The quad are the same ones I recently posted as starts last week. The top right and bottom left are done, signed, varnished! The top left needs a few more touches and the bottom right is done just needs varnishing. Thanks for looking!

Check out my art Slide Show!

2007-10-11T09:35:00.000-06:00

This give you a little bigger bite of the whole project to date. I'm still amazed when I look at them all together. Pretty amazing to me!

New paintings

2007-10-11T09:22:00.000-06:00

Even though I've been painting once a week, I haven't posted what I've been doing for a long while, Aug. 31 to be exact... ugh! I also included four "starts" of paintings so you can see the before and later I'll post the afters.
Enjoy!
The painting with the big bright spot in the upper left corner is another attempt at "let there be light". The other two are the waters and land separating.

Day Two: Separating Waters from Waters

2007-08-31T14:38:00.000-06:00

This was a more difficult challenge. How to show the waters separating from the ocean to the sky. Here's my attempt.

More hovering...

2007-08-31T14:33:00.000-06:00

I think I am done trying to capture the hovering Spirit of God over the waters. I like these.

Let there be.... light!

More Chaos

Video

2007-08-21T07:04:00.001-06:00

This is a video put together by my 16 year old niece. I guess we're all trying to get a better picture of creation. Enjoy!

Seven New Paintings

2007-08-19T12:50:00.001-06:00

These paintings are trying to give the impression of Gen. 1:2. "Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God's Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss." This version is from the Message Bible. Like I said... I'm ready to be done with the chaos section of Gen. 1. YIPEE!

I take it back...

2007-08-16T20:05:00.000-06:00

I made the comment that I wouldn't mind being in chaos "forever". Well after painting chaos again today... I don't want to be in chaos anymore! It's too depressing and oppressing. I guess it's God's way of telling me MOVE ON! LOL I want to paint things again with COLOR and lots of it. Post painting again soon.

Totally Cellular

2007-08-10T07:46:00.000-06:00

My painting session was yesterday was fruitful. I finish this painting "Cellular" and started 4 more in a series based on Gen. 1:2. The Message bible translates verse 2 like this, "Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God's Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss." What an amazing set of word pictures and a huge challenge to try and portray. I'll post them as soon as I complete them.
I started the painting "Cellular" over a month ago and I just couldn't get it to come together. A friend looked at it and nudged me in a different direction. She said she saw starts of life in each of the bubbles. Cool! I can shift gears and head in a new direction... no problem!
Enjoy!
