GALLERY REPRESENTATION
Seaside hosts a gallery walk the first Saturday of the month. I was honored to be selected to have my art included as one of the featured artists for October's show "Light and Shadows" at the Fairweather Gallery Saturday evening. I described the event on the home page as well.

The owner, Denise Fairweather, is a very talented and experienced gallery owner and interior designer. She combines her talents in arranging different media in themes which is a unique and beautiful way to display each piece of art. This month's theme is really something each of you should see if you find an excuse to "escape" to the Coast during the month. Be sure to share that you heard about her gallery from me. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be in a gallery that shows your art so dramatically and allows the artists to speak to those in attendance about their art and process in creating the pieces on display. I also left several cards that relate to this series at the gallery.
The three paintings below have sold since delivering them to the Gallery earlier in September. It was so nice to meet the buyer of Fishing Floats and Nets II last night. His daughter was one of the featured artists and he is a fisherman. It is very special to see who is buying your art. The Starfish is going to my good friend from high school, Tari Martin, for their beach house. Hope to see pictures when they are hung. I hope the artist who bought the crab will send me a photo of the crab painting hanging.
You can see my art from the front of the store against the back wall. The Lighting in the Gallery is really great and so the colors really pop across the room.

Three of my paintings seen below have been juried into the Marine Food Webs: Drifters to Swimmers Exhibition at the LaSells Stewart Center Giustina Gallery on the OSU campus in Corvallis, Oregon from Feb 3 - March 12. This is a parallel show to a special collection by invited artists who participated in a National Science Foundation funded Artist-at-Sea Residency Program that worked with scientists from OSU Hatfield's Plankton Lab and UO's Sutherland Lab aboard four oceanographic research cruises. Hope you will plan a visit to the Giustina Gallery to see these two shows. Fish art by Keven Clark, "Fish Run."

My painting, Peacock Foraging, is hanging in the art display in the hall at Providence St. Vincent Hospital in the rotating art exhibit "Art for the Care" outside the Ruth J. Spear Breast Center until the end of the January. This program is a chance to donate part of the sale price to the Center. If you have an appointment or are visiting someone in the Hospital I hope you will venture down the hall to the East End and look at the paintings which represent different media. It is very nice to be asked to submit my art.

Diana Nadal Collage--30 Paintings in 30 Days
30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge with Leslie Saeta, January, 2014.
Making a collage of the art created during the Challenge says a little something about who I am as a person as well as an artist. My love of color certainly comes through. Choosing to paint specific and varied topics made it a little more difficult but satisfying. This was a creative journey and the daily adventure led to some paintings which you love, some you don't and maybe a few that you can consider finished and put on the website.. I'll have to settle back down to my daily routine of painting without the challenge of producing a painting by the end of the day. Thanks to Leslie Saeta for hosting this challenge and to each person who "liked" and posted comments.
The journey continues. My excitement and passion to produce new works is stronger than ever. I have finished several of the paintings started during the Challenge and you can find them for sale in the "My Paintings" tab.
If you want more details about my feelings and the process of each painting you can see them on my blog http://www.dianagnadal.blogspot.com or contact me with your questions via email mailto:dianagnadal@gmail.com
