Live Painting at The Fifth World, lots of WIP shots on new painting

Hi Lovelies,

This weekend was pretty fun and productive. On Saturday I did a live painting gig at a nightclub in downtown Portland.

The event was called "The Fifth World"- featuring the music/dj stylings of Thriftworks, Sporeganic, TreyZilla and Spekt1n" Teds@ Berbati's Pan on sw 2nd street from 10pm-1am. Bea Ogden of Cloudbreak Productions did a great job curating and organizing the art/artists for the event.

I was painting in the Tea room:


Snapshot taken before dawning my painting apron. I had several pieces displayed around the room along with works of Danny Ebru and Andrew Zeutzius( who was also doing live painting in the tea room!) The morning before I painted the background of the canvas pictured on the easel here... just started out with an India ink outline.


Painting the night away to the deep throb of the bass.


Progress shot taken near the end of the night...got a lot of work done!

This was what was going down in the main room as I worked:

Inside the dance room there were a other wonderful artists on display doing live painting: Nemo Boko, Violet Page and Sam Arneson. Was so much fun to watch them cultivate their artly peace while embedded in the chaos of all that movement and sound.

...It was a late night for me! So on Sunday I slept in and spent the rest of the super rainy day off snug in my home studio space painting:



Detail shot of the shiny mermaid butt and triple eye spine. Fun stuff!


Hmph....my "in progress" table is getting rather crowded. I normally work on one piece at a time. Dont know whats gotten into me!

Art opening: Practical Magic group show

Had a really wonderful night hanging out at the art opening for the Practical Magic group show!

The energy of this show is amazingly psychedelic with strong influence of the Goddess with some pleasantly deep shamanic intent.
The gallery was full to the brim with some extremely inspiring artwork. I felt honored to have my artwork and its energy making its contribution to the grand scheme.
I got to meet, hang and goof off with some of the artists including Anna Todaro( she also curated the entire show!) Laura Borealisis, Nemo Boko, and Morgaine Faye

This is a photo of me with Laura Borealisis posing in front of our artwork together.


The gallery had a steady stream of visitors making some of the show hard to photograph. Danny was saying he will probably be going back to better capture the entire show including Nemo Boko's art section which was truly a trip to behold! ( especially when he whipped out a couple pairs of 3d glasses.)

Nemo's 3d glasses were such a blessing. Once he whipped those out both danny, laura and myself walked around the entire show tripping out on how each piece had morphed under the 3d vision. It was a night full of lots of laughter, random up taking reverie, philosophical, spiritual conversates, wonderful encounters and out pourings of inspiration and good vibe.
and here is a comp danny made of some of his photos of the night:


So come check it out!
The show runs through April 30th.
Gallery hours: Th, Fr, St Noon-6pm
At Coeur art gallery: 323 NW 6th- Portland, Oregon.

.....so whats next?
Today after work I will be hanging up my artwork inside the local portland feminist bookstore: InOtherWords.org
where my artwork will be showcased for the month of April.

As of now I dont have a body painting photoshoot planned for this Saturday. It seems to be increasingly difficult to schedule these shoots but i hope that they will continue to manifest when the time is right.

More comin soon!
Peace n Love,
-Chelsea Rose
