Beaches to Woodland Tour is here!





Hello Everyone,

Wow! It is a very busy time of year for the marketing artist. October is full of art related events, shows and festivals. I will be participating in a few of them myself.

One October 1st, 2005 the Beaches to Woodland Tour begins! http://www.beaches-rivers.com/b2w.php3. The schedule of events is posted on their website, so if you are in the area this month, try to make it out to a few of them. I recently joined the Santa Rosa Arts & Culture Foundation ( http://santarosaarts.org/ ) and entered several paintings into their gallery in Milton, Florida. The Dragonfly Gallery is a newly open Gallery and will have an updated website in the near future. On Saturday I will set up and plein-air paint outside the Gallery during the kick off of the Beaches to Woodlands Tour. There will be other artists set up on location showing and selling their work this weekend. So come out and check us out!


On the 22nd I will be set up on Navarre Beach, at Cocodries, for the Art Night Event of the Tour. I may be painting or just talking to other artists and patrons that come out to meet the artists. So be sure to come to Cocodries on Navarre Beach for Art Night. Eco- Beach Store http://www.eco-beach.com/ will be hosting the event. Plenty of food, music and artwork will be on hand.

The 23rd N.W. Florida Fair Fine Art Show http://www.artsdesignsociety.com/ will begin on the 21st of Oct. - 29th. I will be entering 5 plein-air paintings into this juried show. So come out and enjoy the show then go and enjoy the Fair. I have 4 of the paintings at the printshop getting prints made right now. So the originals will be for sale at the show.

The Serenity Series http://artbybradgreek.com/thrive.html is now hanging in the Imago Gallery in Pensacola, Fl. at their new location downtown. The new address is 103 W. Intendencia St. , Pensacola. Phone: (850) 433-4115. They will have an open house on Friday the 7th of Oct. or possibly the following Friday....schedule to be announced yet. I will be there for the Grand Reopening.

Announcement: I'm releasing 4 images to help raise money for a charity to rebuild our local beaches in Navarre, Fl. They have been devastated by Hurricane Ivan last year. Before getting the Beaches back to standards they have been again hit by Hurricanes Dennis, Katrina and Rita. Along with some damages from Tropical Storm Arlene. I'm releasing the limited edition sets of 50 each, Signed and Numbered Giclee Reproduction Prints. All proceeds will help get our beaches built back up and our community thriving again. For over a year now it has been like a war zone and the waters are full of debri. I will announce all the details for the release and the charity information when I get it all put together. We sort of been forgotten about over here with all the devastation along the rest of the Gulf Coast. (The 4 images at the top of this post are for the fundraiser).

Well I have been getting out every week plein-air painting, trying out new technics and color schemes. The International Plein-air Paintout http://www.ipap.homestead.com/paintout.html was a great time at Ruskin Place, Seaside, Fl. I was able to get 4 paintings during the 2 day event.

I will keep everyone updated on other events as they draw near.

Thank you for all of your support,

Brad
