During this time, I also painted and donated a piece to the Louisville Visual Arts fundraiser, Art [Squared] 2016, which took place in April and I currently have three pieces showcased in their online venue, Artebella. I participated in a group show at Danville Community Arts in neighboring Boyle County, and also delivered a new selection of paintings to Edenside Gallery, in Louisville. Several commissions were finished, as well.
The following paintings reflect my work of the past year or so. Enjoy the viewing and if interested in purchasing, please contact me at markaselter@gmail.com.
I will leave you with this quote:
"If it is the love of that which your work represents - if, being a landscape painter, it is love of hills and trees that moves you - if, being a figure painter, it is love of human beauty, and human soul that moves you - if, being a flower or animal painter, it is love, and wonder, and delight in petal and in limb that move you, then the spirit is upon you, and the earth is yours, and the fullness thereof." --John Ruskin
