To One and All....

Saturday turned into a really enjoyable day for me.  I was called in at the last minute to volunteer at the Lake country Art Gallery.  The "Under 100" show was on display and I got to look carefully at all the paintings.  What fun that was.  So many beautiful works by lots of new friends I have made in the last few years. It is really exciting to have so many artists as close friends.   I am blessed.

One special moment came when a visitor to the gallery asked to buy a piece of art. It was one of my larger paintings, that we were allowed to enter into the show.  I gave her a hug and her friend took pictures of both of us with her new painting, "Solitude".

Time for coffee at the gallery...

The Lake Country Art Gallery's Christmas show has started.  I have thirteen paintings in the show so I'm quite excited. There's a really great coffee shop attached to the gallery so I'm hoping lots of people invite me to go with them when they go to see the show.  I've had two invitations so far :) .

I think it's awesome that they chose seven of my paintings to be included in this poster.  I shouldn't brag so much but I can't help it :D .

Cattails and Black-eyed Susan's

Over the last year and a half you may remember me mentioning my black-eyed susan's painting that was giving me trouble.  This was an attempt to use my imagination to help create a painting.  Not an easy thing for me to do, thus the lonnnnng wait.  Today, I officially declare it finished. The photo isn't the best but it gives you a pretty good idea of what the 30"x 24" painting looks like.

The paintings are all complete and are just waiting for their frames.  The paper work for the labels has been sent in and I can now take a long slow breath and relax.  I sent in my paper work for the two larger pieces that we are allowed but they too are juried so I don't know if they will be in the show or not. 

I'm only adding a photo of the hummingbird painting since it was the only incomplete one from the last post that I finished. I decided to go with that and move on to a new project I'm excited about starting.  More on details at a later date.  Have a great day.

I did it...

I did it...  I even have more time that I wasn't expecting.  The "Under 100" show doesn't start until the 17th of November.  By then who knows how many paintings I can have ready.  As I mentioned..I finished ten and have three more started. The humming bird and the one above it and to the right of it are just getting started.  The rest are done if I don't pick at them.(I usually do)
