Cherry Sweig Fine Artist: December 2010

Beginning December 1st, I will be painting 101 wildlife images from The Chula Vista Nature Center.

In 101 days.

That's one a day from December 1st through March 11, 2011.

Each original oil painting is 8 x 8” with a 1 ½” depth. It can stand on its own or is ready to hang.

An Artist’s Statement/ Certificate of Authenticity, Art Title

and name of wildlife subject are included in each painting.

Artworks will be displayed in the auditorium in groups of seven,

as they are created.

Artworks are for sale through the Nature Center's bookstore at $101 each.

25 % will be donated to the CVNC.

Here's the project notes....

v Cherry Sweig is a San Diego artist who paints both oils and watercolors featuring local nature-related themes, Greek Equine and Plein Air (painting outside on location) travels abroad. She has volunteered as an Art Curator at the center since 1995 with numerous art exhibitions, workshops and her Gyotaku, Japanese nature printing.

She explains: ‘This an ideal opportunity to celebrate 101 images of the Nature Center through my artworks. With this consecutive challenge, it’s an extraordinary chance for visitors to encounter the whole process from blank canvases to a finished wall of art. It will also illustrate how the artworks evolved, brushstroke by brushstroke. This Nature Center is abounding with imagery and inspiration everywhere I look. From the bald eagle to the two-spotted octopus, there are countless

reasons to explore this impressive living museum.”
