Boat #5, Colored Pencil on Cradle Board, 10"H x 10"W x 1.5"D, N. Baur Dillen
|
|
This year I started developing a new series of colored pencils drawings that for lack of a better title is call "Boats!" I featured one (Hover Craft) in the April newsletter. I sent it to New York City for the annual National Association of Women Artists exhibit.
|
The majority of the drawings are on Bristol paper, then glued to 10"W x 10"H x 1.5" D cradle board. Each is ready to hang in groups or can stand alone. Since the drawings are small they allowed me to play, explore, and create a wide variety of composites.
|
Because of all the new Boat creations, I added a new page on my website that showcases all of them. Here is a link to the new "Boats" page.

Salad, Oil on Gesso Board, 17"H x 19"W, 1999, N. Baur Dillen
|
Over the past month two of my paintings found permanent homes. Salad, above, is now living in Pittsburgh with a good friend. I created it shortly after I took a class in the egg tempera technique when I was on a study abroad in Sienna, Italy. Salad is a pivotal piece that started me on my path of using multiple layers of transparent oil paints in my paintings.

Fish Stick (below) was created as part of my "Water Circus" Series that I developed after I retired from teaching at Eastern Florida State College. It's new home is with a nice couple living in Floridana Beach.

FROM VISION to REALITY: 10 Years of Venvi Art Gallery
|
November 7, 2025 – February 20, 2026
|
Recently, I was invited to exhibit one of my paintings in the Venvi Art Gallery’s 10th Anniversary Exhibition. It is an honor to be a member of this gallery in Tallahassee. While there, good friend, Grace Leal and I were asked to have a two-person show. Since then, I have added artwork to their physical and on-line galleries. For this show, I sent an old favorite... Sky Screen to celebrate this special occasion. The piece always reminds me of the peach trees that grew in north Florida near my home, and the good times we enjoyed visiting the orchards to pick fresh, juicy, delicious peaches. Yum!
|
For those friends living in the north Florida area, I hope you will take a some time to stop by and see the work while on display. I'm sure it will be an exceptional show.

Critically acclaimed world wide for its polished and passionate performances, the Dorian Wind Quintet is known as one of chamber music’s pre-eminent and longest continuously active ensembles. Preforming in 48 or the 50 states in the United States, touring in Canada and Europe many times, and performing hroughout the Middle East, India, Africa and Asia the Miami Herald described them as "a virtuoso quintet in the sense of what the Julliard Quartet is to strings." Also, the Dorian made history in 1981, as the first wind quintet to appear at Carnegie Hall.
