Long Beach, CA – This month’s 2nd Saturday Art Walk (http://www.artwalklb.com/) held a “Long Beach Masterpiece” contest. Each participating artist submitted a piece of art and the panel of judges awarded points for various qualifications contributing to the piece’s creativity. Debbie Lewis submitted a serene landscape and won 1st runner-up, coming in with just 1 point less than the winner.
“I was happy to participate in this contest,” Debbie said. “There was lots of great art submitted and coming in as 1st runner-up was definitely an honor. The painting is now on display at Hellada Art Center’s Gift Shop (http://hellada.us) and available for sale.
Downtown Long Beach’s monthly art walk is a lively affair with music, art, food and fun. Ms. Lewis’ regularly exhibits a collection of her colorful, magical watercolors – a variety of landscapes, florals and animals, as well as greeting cards. All of her watercolors for sale are originals; high quality giclee prints may be ordered as well.
“Since I started painting,” Ms. Lewis said, “I have mainly been drawn to nature themes and now that I live in Long Beach, I have added Long Beach landscapes to my portfolio.” Several new Long Beach landscapes are now available online at http://WatercolorsForSaleOnline.com.
Ms. Lewis is a self-taught artist whose talent developed in the mid-90s. Since moving to Long Beach in 2008, she has participated in numerous group and solo shows and regularly displays her work at the 2nd Saturday Art Walk.
“When I first visited this Art Walk in the summer of 2008, there were few fine artists displaying their work. Now there are many excellent artists from the local community who show and provide a great resource for the local community to beautify their homes with original artwork,” she noted.
Her work can be seen at http://WatercolorsForSaleOnline.com and giclee prints can be ordered at http://debbie-lewis.FineArtAmerica.com.
This summer Ms. Lewis will have a solo show during the month of June at the El Dorado Nature Center in Long Beach. The artist’s reception will be on June 5 from 1-3 PM. After the reception, visitors may enjoy the Nature Center Museum and shop, as well as the walking trails which provide a unique view of nature in the middle of the city.
