First Art Show...

I delivered these paintings to Triumph Services today.  The show is a week from this Thursday.  (By that time I will be on summer vacation...yea!)

Fish Out of Water 2 (30x40)

Girl towers (10x20?)

Couple Dancers (16x20)

Dance Floor (16x20)

Calm after the storm...

It is amazing how BEAUTIFUL a day can be after a storm.  My azaleas LOVED the rain.  I was going to give them another day before I photographed but I couldn't wait.

I also wanted to show my growing list of precious invites (baby announcements and showers).  My friends are multiplying! Two years ago these would have been wedding showers!  I will never get sick of invites.  To me, invitations are art...an art that is unfortunately becoming extinct (or rather morphing into an online medium).  It was my dream in college to open an invitation/stationary store.  I still haven't completely let it go...

(P.S. I think vuvox is having a problem.  My slideshow has been mia (along with their website).  No complaints...after all...it is free. :))

Fish Out of Water 2 - Take 3

I wish I had better lighting but, yet again, it is late at night.  I spent the last several hours on cost accounting and made myself finish a chapter before I had a break.  The break, much like college, was painting!  Here is the painting...round 3.  I may touch up a few things in passing but I am rather pleased with it!

(Reminder: This is for the Triumph Art Show!)

On another note, my social media class has me exploring different website and blog options.  This is why you might see my site changing daily.  I plan to spend some time with the blog in May.  Of course I have said that before I already have a jam-packed May.  Stay tuned.

For now I must work on using Goop (as featured in other blog posts and used even more than that) to get the paint out of my new City Grocery T-Shirt.  It is officially initiated. :)

Fish Out of Water Take 2

Still a-working...I should have waited until it was dry.  It started to get muddy so I had to stop...for now.

Fish Out of Water 2 - Prepping for the art show

I have been hard at work.  I am donating some of my old pieces to the art show but I wanted to complete at least one newer one.  Look familiar?  Instead of a marlin I am going with a sailfish.  Stay tuned!

Triumph Services Art Show

My dear friend Rebecca Hughes works at a nonprofit, Triumph Services.  They have an annual art show to help create awareness for their nonprofit - a nonprofit that reaches out to those with developmental disabilities.  I have been asked to create/display/sell artwork for the event.  I am more than flattered.  I will be painting from now till April 28th, 5:30-8:00.  If any of you want to come with me, let me know!
