Creatures Creating Gallery Show/Sarah’s Abstract Pieces Meet the Public
Creatures
Last night I had the pleasure of attending Nice to Meet You, an art exhibit at the Creatures Creating gallery in which a number of my abstract pieces are showing. Devin was there too, both as support and to check out the space for possible Apple of my Odd Eye and Geek Collateral Media events in the future.
Here are some more photos of the event:

The gorgeous skulls are by Chris Austen. The vibrant landscapes are by Alaa Taher (we chatted earlier in the night).

The room started to fill up.

The lovely art next to mine was by Seline Celis.

Creatures Creating is a fairly new gallery on Dundas West, a neighbourhood with lots of potential. I like Creatures because their hanging and commission fees are reasonable, the owner is friendly, and it really seems like they care about artists. Their openness to us doing events there is the cherry on top.
We’re looking forward to working with Creatures Creating more in the future and are excited about what is in store for us.

The Next Piece in the “Roses” Painting Series
The second piece in my “Roses” series is now complete! “Roses II” uses much warmer colours and had the benefit of my discovery of paint markers to make the thin lines a little smoother. I also used fineliner (and, of course, acrylic). Here it is with “Roses I”:
“Roses I (Cheshire’s Grin)” – Sarah Y. Varnam Not for Sale
“Roses II” – Sarah Y. Varnam 16×20 – $200
“Roses II” is, of course, the painting from this post. It’s certainly come a long way (though her big, deer-like eyes may be just as creepy as the empty sockets were!). I’m still waiting on Devin to finish the landscape from that post so I can show you guys. The colours in it are gorgeous.
Have a good day!

“Roses I”, Sarah Y. Varnam, a Painting Several Years in the Making
“Roses I” – Sarah Y. Varnam
This piece is the first in a new painting series. While it’s really come together over the last couple of months, I started it years ago. As a result, I’m quite attached to it (will only be selling prints of it for now). The second one should be up within the week!
-Sarah
P.S. This piece and several other pieces are up on our Zazzle shop as poster prints, buttons, and more! We’ve added several new products lately.
