Hello Everyone --
Please join me at the upcoming Artist's Reception at the Caffé Luna where my exhibition, Sweeter by the Dozen, an impasto painting display, is currently showing. I think of an artist's reception as simply a nice little party where I can meet with friends and art aficionados in a festive atmosphere. It will be on Saturday, September 8 (that is less that two weeks away, can you believe it?), from 2-4 pm. The Caffé Luna is in Crystal Lake, IL, on Rt. 14, in front of Hobby Lobby.
Four brand new works -- The Baker, Cheesecake, Cheesecake and Pie and Cake Reflections -- will be unveiled at the reception. So even if you have seen the exhibition already or have looked at the works online (if you have, thank you so much for visiting), come to the reception to see the new works! And, there will be other surprises.
I sincerely hope I will see you there. But if you can't make it, I understand and will put the new works online after the reception -- check it out after September 8.
Warmly,
Barbara Sistak Baur, Artist

Last time I mentioned that I was working on a commission for a good friend of mine, who wanted two paintings for her downtown Chicago condo. They are finished and are now posted online. At my site, click the Commissions topic.

On the Easel
The Baker is a piece just about ready to come off the easel. I love it because besides the luscious pie, the baker himself is present. But not in the way that you might imagine. He is a burly kind of guy who is shown as he just dropped off the pie and is hurrying off to other important duties. This piece will be ready for the September 8 reception.

Art Friends, e-letter, August 10, 2007
Greetings,
Cheesecake and Pie is the latest offering in my bakery series. Ironically, this painting will be shown all day Monday, August 13, at the Island Lake Curves. You could say it is a no-calorie treat for all the exercisers. Actually, this Curves is having an anniversary celebration and my art display is one of the festivities. I am sure Curves would love it if you stopped by.
I found this bakery case in a favorite little luncheon spot. What I like about this painting is the subdued color and combination of flat and textured paint. The trays, pan and bakery case are very traditional -- the bakery goods themselves are ultra-contemporary with thick, glossy paint.
On the Easel
Currently, I am working on a commission for a good friend of mine, who wanted two paintings for her downtown Chicago condo. They pick up elements from her decor and are, of course, very contemporary.
Now On Display
-- This Sunday, Aug. 12, Great Stride Benefit, at Arlington Race Track at the Trackside building on Euclid Ave., from noon to 5 p.m. Toy car paintings.
-- Sweeter by the Dozen at the Caffe Luna in Crystal Lake (in from of Hobby Lobby) through Sept. 30. Mon-Sat from 6 am to 6 pm, Sunday 7 am to 3 pm. Please come to the Artist's Reception on Sat., Sept. 8, from 2 to 4 pm. Bakery paintings.
-- Algonquin Public Art Program, at the Algonquin Public Library, through Sept. This is a year-long display. Car-art tables.
I hope you can attend a show. Thanks for tuning in.
