Ernestine and Sally

Oh the adventures these two old girls have together!!  So I know I promised more art and less talk these 10 days, BUT I do need to remind you of a few things.  THIS Friday night 5-9PM is the opening of my show at The Naked Art Gallery in Birmingham, Alabama.  If you read my blog and live nearby, please come say hello.  It'll be so nice to meet you!!  Then Saturday the meet and greet is from 1-6PM.  I'll be demonstrating my texture technique from 2-3 and 4-5.  If you are interested in learning how I get that dreamy carved texture in my paintings, then come on by!  And yes, I am BEYOND excited.   I have the perfect outfits, just had my hair done, toes on Thursday and car cleaning Friday morning.  Looks like all things are a go!  Hope to see you there.

Poppy Love

Totally out of character for me....but my daisies were not working out and they turned into giant yellow poppies in milk jars.  Actually are there yellow poppies?  Huh. Well, I love this painting.  Yep.  

Adventures With Mattie

A journey with a friend is so much more fun, right? 

Love Was Always Spoken Here

These two are on top of an adorable orange house. 

10 Days of Art

The next 10 days before the art opening I am going to be giving you sneaky peakies at some of the art I am total love with.  Yep.  I could keep them all if I could afford the space, and of course the materials.  :)  So less talking, me?  no......really?  can I do it?  maybe. Just art.  Here goes day 1:

This House was built on a foundation of love, hope, dreams, faith, kindness and hope.

Art for Your Hair!

I am in LOVE with this new idea!!  Woohoo!  I found these fabulous crochet flowered headbands at the mart in January.  I knew immediately what I could do with them.  Yep.  Just took me two months to get the art onto the little wooden discs and glued onto the headbands is all.  They are going to be a great addition to the show next week!

Art and Soul Blog Hopping

Hey guys!!  While I'm finishing up details for the show, which has to be delivered to Birmingham THIS WEDNESDAY (woohooo!), I thought I'd share links to friends I'll be teaching with at Art and Soul Portland this October.  Like a little treasure hunt of teachers.  Who knows, you just might find a favorite new spot to sit and read a spell. Or better yet you'll be so inspired you have to join us in our classes!  So enjoy the links.  I'll see you guys back later in the week!
