Burton  Tower- oil pastel on paper by James Michael Nemnich - 11 x 9"

We welcome James as a 1st time donor to Circle of Art-THANKS! He is the featured artist for the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair this year and his tremendous artwork for this year's poster will be unveiled at the Circle of Art party. This piece has built-up layers of oil pastel over paint and is then drawn into-creating this cool texture with the incising of the surface. See more of his work at his website:  www.nemnichart.com. This and other works of art are part of the 2008 Circle of Art to benefit Food Gatherers. Over the past 3 years the Circle of Art has raised over $42,000 to help fight hunger where we live. You can bid on all these works online through May 17, 2008.  Final bids can be placed at the Circle of Art Party, Sunday May 18th at Saline Picture Frame Company from 12-5pm.
