Holiday hours and 2012

First of all we would like to wish you and your loved ones Happy Holidays and a prosperous New Year!

For the last minute shoppers, we are open this Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you are truly a procrastinator you will have one last chance for shopping on Friday, Dec. 23 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. We will be closed on the 24th and 25th.

After Christmas you'll have the next three weekends (excluding New Year's Day) to spend that money or gift certificate from Santa. We will be closing the gallery from January 16th through April 5th for a much needed makeover, so when you see the lights on and gate half open, that's your invitation to stop by, say hello, grab a paintbrush or roller and join us.

April 6th it's back to business.

Wishing you the very best from the TFP family to yours!

Peninsula School of Art Events include  iPad Painting Demo and Artists' Gallery Talk   Press Release For Immediate Release Peninsula School of Art hosts Saturday  iPad Painting Demo and Gallery Talk  Fish Creek, WI, November 4, 2011 - On Saturday, November 19, the featured artists of the exhibition, "30 Paintings/ 30 Days," at Peninsula School of Art, 3900 County Road F in Fish Creek, will share their processes and experiences as they relate to the exhibition with an iPad painting demonstration and gallery talk.  Each participating artist agreed to paint one painting a day for 30 consecutive days, but in the time frame of their choosing.     Beginning at 1pm, Susan Murtaugh, of Two Creeks, will create her 30th and final iPad painting for "30 Paintings / 30 Days" in the School's gallery. Utilizing the iPad art application, SketchBook Pro, the artist will connect her iPad to a large screen TV monitor so the public may view her digital process easily. Murtaugh uses a homemade stylus that looks like a traditional long brush, with a special easel to hold her iPad. Although it might look like her painting is conventional, she is quick to point out that her process is anything but.     "With the art app I can utilize layers instantly," she says. "I can zoom in on work 2800 times [magnification]; it's so easy on the eyes. I love the three-finger swipe for undo. And, I love that I can print my work on a variety of substrates: archival papers, canvas, even aluminum."   Murtaugh's series of still life paintings for the exhibition are displayed in the form of archival prints. Murtaugh is an internationally-recognized iPad artist and serves as a consultant for art software for companies such as Apple.     At 3pm, six of the seven featured artists will engage in a gallery talk to share their experiences during the 30-day project. As revealed from his or her artist statements, what each artist gleaned from the project was as individual as each person. Their experiences ranged from emotional insights to a new artistic direction. Participating in the discussion in addition to Murtaugh are: Fred Bell, Bonnita Budysz, Shelby Keefe, Jason Prigge and Kristi Roenning.     Refreshments will be served. The exhibition, demonstration and talk are free and open to the public.     For more information about this event and other Peninsula School of Art workshops, exhibitions, and community programs, call 920-868-3455 or email info@PeninsulaSchoolofArt.com.

photos from the "birds" opening from Tim Nyberg

here are some shots of the "birds - avian in acrylic" hang at the Flying Pig in Algoma, WI...
a nice "salon-style" hang (by Susan)...
the most delightfully funny thing for me is the birdcage with a little boombox playing bird songs - it made for nice ambience - and a splash of humor at the same time
you can hear the sound track and see all of the paintings in the show at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKydv3B2tx4

thanks for your support - comments, kudos, criticisms, etc.

Nyberg's Art Takes Wing at TFP

 

The Flying Pig will host Tim Nyberg's "birds" (avian in acrylic) paintings from September 10th through October in the Back Gallery.  From Tim's trademark whimsical creations to thoughtful abstracts incorporating birds, branches and Seuss-like vegetation, the show will feature over 30 paintings spanning three years of work.

When asked why birds, Tim responded, "My dad paints a lot of birds. That may have inspired me to try my own hand at the creatures - a challenge to see if they'd work in conjunction with my non-objective style that has been developing. Or, it could be my love of watching birds flit about in our yard, playing in the trees, the bushes, and cautiously discovering our pond for bathing and drinks. Or, as a designer, it could be that I just appreciate the shape of a bird. Or, a combination of all of these. Whatever the reason, the little winged creatures have played a major role in my art recently. And, my studio visitors seem to have been appreciating them as well."

"birds" will feature a gallery environment complete with bird sounds and a few extra surprises. Cards and prints incorporating the birds will also be available during the show.

Tim Nyberg's art may be viewed online at g42art.com.
