Sneak Peek: U of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Tollefson Abstracts Exhibit

by Dena Tollefson

Here's a sneak peek of one of my 12 paintings in the upcoming University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinic's Gallery One exhibit, sponsored by Project Art.

"The Last Week" 28 x 22 Acrylic on Canvas copyright 2009 Dena Tollefson

The painting above is entitled "The Last Week".  This painting is about the last week of Jesus' life and his disciple Peter's decision of whether he would acknowledge Christ of deny following him. On the left corner of the painting is the jail, Golgotha with the 3 crosses in on the right. The fractured bird crowing in the center reflects his final decision and eventual regret for his betrayal. This painting is one of two studies in blue.

This exhibit runs Oct 18, 2010 until Jan 21, 2011 at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics 200 Hawkins Drive 8023 John Colloton Pavilion Iowa. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact John Hansen, Visual Arts Coordinator Phone 319 353 6417. Visit the Project Art website http://www.uihealthcare.com/depts/projectart 

I hope you can make it to the exhibit!
