Art Podcast

Casey Shannon Studio

On June 16, 2020, I was asked to do a podcast as an invited artist talking about sumi for: "Let's Talk Art With Brooke". Doing a podcast was a new experience for me. I loved doing it and it was a lot of fun. I found Brooke to be a lovely person and very welcoming. If you have time to listen, I hope that you enjoy it.

Here is a link to the podcast: ( 30 minutes)

Art for a Good Cause!

Art for a Good Cause!

Valentine's Benefit

20th Anniversary

i have always thought that for me a good way to support charities and organizations that I care about is to donate a piece of my art when asked or even when not asked. It is so important to reach out and support others. I have donated art to Assistance Dogs of Hawaii and their events for almost 20 years. This organization is very dear to me. They do outstanding work pairing people with disabilities with a working dog that will make their life a little bit easier.

My service dog Wesley is from ADH

I have been blessed with three service dogs from ADH over the years. They have been true companions and helpers. Each with their own personality and making my life a whole lot better in many ways.

Interesting Sumi-e Brush

Time Brush

This is a very unusual brush. It's called a Time Brush. 

The owner of the Chinese store writes about this brush:

I met this brush totally by accident when I was wandering in the market as I always do. Mr. Xu was putting together the brush handle and the brush tip. And, I knew it is an excellent choice for the shop when I notice the proud in his eyes. The brush handle is quite unique and every brush is the only one in the world because the shape varies for every one. Made of a special tree, the handle can only be found once or twice in every five years. After careful processing, the craftsman turned them into nice brushes for calligraphy and painting. The knots in the handle are called "tumor" and they have witnessed the passage of a long history. Therefore, the brush is named as "Time".  It is used for painting and calligraphy.

I purchased this brush from https://chineseart.store/

I am a Chinese Brush Painter. I use Chinese and Japanese brushes for my ink paintings. I also am a brush collector. I have hundreds of beautiful brushes and some are very rare. I knew this brush would be a wonderful addition to my collection.

The length of the handle varies from 50-60cm (20-24inch) and that of the hair is 9cm (3.5inch). The hair of this brush is goat. The tip (hair) of the brush can be replaced after extended usage. In this way, one can always have a new brush on hand. I am in love with this new Time Brush.

Studio Photo of Some Brushes

This is a photograph of only a very small portion of the brushes in my collection. Maybe it's 1/4 of the brushes that I have on hand to play with when I paint.

SSA ~ Sumi Society of America Exhibition

Mountain Music by Casey Shannon

I am so pleased to share with you that "Mountain Music" has been juried into the annual sumi-e exhibition of SSA - Sumi-e Society of America. I have been a member of this association for several years. However, I had not entered my work before for consideration in the annual exhibit.

This year the exhibition will be in Bloomington, Minnesota. at the Bloomington Center for the arts. The jurors are Yuming Zhu for sumi-e and Hong Zhang for calligraphy. The exhibit will be from August 9 to September 20, 2019. I am so pleased my work was accepted for this show.

Framed Mountain Music

This photo is similar as to how "Mountain Music" will look framed and presented in the exhibition. All entries must be framed and matted to certain specifications.

This image is very special to me. I painted this the morning that my service dog Gabe passed away. He left me very suddenly and unexpectedly not too long ago. I painted this just before he went to the rainbow bridge. Therefore, I consider this Gabe's painting.
