Kids' Art Party
Mini Canvas Paintings on Easels |
A few months ago, I did an art demonstration during a birthday party for a group of six year old girls. I showed them how they to could create little mini paintings to be displayed on mini easels. I had a canvas board on which I demonstrated some basic techniques. And I also had prepared a small sample of completed paintings for them to find inspiration. It was a fun afternoon for all!

For my friends' little baby girl...
A geometric painting with her beautiful name |
A Cleveland cityscape so she'll remember her hometown |
These two paintings were inspired by the birth of my friends' adorable
little baby girl. I wanted to do something with her unique name so I decided to incorporate her first initial and her first name
into my geometric grid. Then I decided the second painting should be of
her hometown of Cleveland, Ohio so she would always know where she came from. Since pastels are typical for a little girl's room, I decided to take the opportunity to experiment with a slightly different color palette. I must say I am very happy with the results.
If you are looking for a custom painting for yourself or for a gift, please email me at harvaitt@gmail.com for more information.

More "Embracing Structure" Photos
Saturday, May 26, 2012
Embracing Structure
N. Lee Ball and I have partnered together to present "Embracing Structure", the June exhibit at Local Color Gallery. Our show will explore two different
artists’ representations of man-made versus organic structures. From Lee’s more realistic view
focusing on details to my more abstract view of breaking down structure
into geometric shapes, it will have something for everyone. Please see below for a sneak peak of what you will see.
"Rockin Cleveland" |
This is a cityscape of my hometown focusing on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You can also expect to see paintings of east coast cities including New York and Philadelphia.
"Raleigh Groove" |
This is my first Raleigh cityscape and a second will be presented at the show. Hopefully, my first Durham cityscape will be completed by then too. It is still a work in progress.
"The Lyre" |
One of the three bridges named after musical instruments that are over the Hoofdvaart in Holland. There will also be a painting of a Boston and Blue Ridge Bridge.
A Philly Cityscape |
The Chrysler Building in NYC |
