The Point (Pittsburgh)

September 27, 2024

A black and white whimsical ink illustration of Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers shows the confluence of the Allegheny and the Monongahela Rivers, to form the Head of the Ohio River at The Point. My drawing emphasizes the Acrisure Stadium formerly named Heinz Field, and The Point. Activities in the drawing are tailgating, roller blading, fishing and boating. One figure is kayaking and a Ducky boat is shown, while in the foreground crew boating is depicted by two figures sculling. A helicopter s overhead. The stadium is the home of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Pitt Panthers, the University of Pittsburgh Football team. Nearby is the Carnegie Science Center. Lewis & Clark began their westward voyage here near the point on August 31, 1803. It is one of a series of 5 ink drawings I call Silly Ink Drawings.

Fox Chapel Living article: Carol Skinger Art Exhibition at Library.

August 12, 2017

Thanks to Fox Chapel Living (August 2017 issue) editor Lisa Corna for featuring my solo art show in the magazine. My solo show at Cooper Siegel Community Library was on display for 18 months ending March 15, 2018. As artworks sold people took them home the same day. The library benefited 25% on each sale which included original paintings, prints and greeting cards. Many of the artworks were created to show things in the area, especially near the Fox Chapel Area School District: Fox Chapel, O’hara, Sharpsburg, Aspinwall, Blawnox and Indiana Township.
