The Lady Legs Show, October 3, 2012

This is the flyer of events happening at my art opening tomorrow. Here is also a bit of my artist statement. "Andrea Newland “The Lady Legs Show” At The Elevens through October Artist reception October 3, 2012 She sits on a diving board on a hot summer day, she packs her suitcase and marches forth, wears her favorite shoes and the party is in the woods, feels like she’s always a bridesmaid and she most definitely runs away with the circus. Through narrative the lady legs theme has so many possibilities. The girl in this series of paintings has become a character with her own secret life. Where is she going? What is she doing? Who is she? The results were quite surprising. In some paintings her face is cropped from view, leaving out that last clue that we look for to judge a situation. By reading her body language and surroundings, the viewer deduces their own story line, becoming engaged with the painting. In some paintings you can see her face as she looks off into the distance or right at you. It is as if the camera fell to the ground still clicking. Portrait of a lady. Choose your own adventure."
