Elan Magazine

I am honored to have my painting "78 VW" in the April 2015 Edition of Elan Magazine.   If you go to the website, double click on the magazine and you can enjoy all of their articles on local artists.  I was excited to have the opportunity to meet Alice Ross, the editor of Elan when she stopped by the ValeArts show and thank her in person.

My great weekend with ValeArts has come to an end.  Many thanks to all of the ValeArts artists for the opportunity to be in a show with them.  

Being in the show provided me with the opportunity to meet and get to know many wonderful local artists including fellow guest artist Sangeeta Prasad.   She is a children's art therapist by day and artist by night.  It was Sangeeta's first show and her excitement was contagious.  I wish her the very best for all of her future shows.  

The lovely weekend was made even better with some really nice comments about my work from visitors at the show, including an artist who asked if I give lessons who she liked my "lost and found" edges.  I've been working really hard on edges so that was a wonderful compliment.   
  

Another aspect of the show was learning a number of great tips for hanging a show like this one which I'll share in a later blog or two.  

Let the Framing Begin

Unwrapping my Florida Frames...very carefully

This is only a small glimpse of the "art bomb" that's gone off in my studio.  I will be spending the day framing about a half a dozen paintings and then will start packing them up to take them to ValeArts on Thursday.

My husband titled this painting for me.  He's usually good for a catchy titles when I draw a blank.  If you know my background, it is even better.
