This year is just going by so quickly.  Starting out with a 7 day trip to Oahu with my mom, sister and daughter early in January!  It was sooo nice to relax and take in the beautiful island vibe.  It was my first trip to Hawaii and I certainly hope not the last.

So many other things have happened already in this new year my head has been spinning but I won't bore you with that.  My main art focus has been working with the Madison Arts Council and their Art 4 Paws event.  It is going to a lot of fun this year...many new and exciting events for you and your family to come out and enjoy.  I've been working on some new "Furry Friends" art and craft items as I will have my very first art tent at the event. YAY!!!

The art you will see in my tent is all hand made, hand painted or created by me.  These are not mass produced items, they are all one of a kind offerings at very reasonable prices.  I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the Art 4 Paws event.

Please come out and support the Madison Arts Council April 5th from 10am to 3pm.  Bring your well behaved and leashed dogs, and your family for a "tail waggin" good time!

If you would like to participate as an artist or other vendor there is still time visit artsmadison.org/art-4-paws/

I'll see you there!!!

Happy Fall Y'all

Ok.  Well obviously I fell off the proverbial bog wall in April.  But I am here again and doing some updating including Gallery posts - YAY!

I've mostly been tinkering and dreaming about all of the art I would like to make but then something shiny (or dirty as with housework) distracts me and I'm helplessly lost in my sea of thoughts and priorities.  Sigh.  The days I do seem to break away from the voices (just kidding) I escape to my private little art room (studio) upstairs.

This is my happy time.  I have paints and brushes, magazines, books, and patterns.  Lots of empty canvas, papers, wooden objects and mixed media just waiting for me to let loose and color outside the lines.  My 2 doggies and 2 meezers love to hang out with me in my studio!

During the summer I didn't paint much.  I did teach my first adult class which was a lot of fun.  I made a few small artsy pieces for the Madison Arts Councils "Amore' Arts" dinner and fundraiser.  I attended the "HOOTERS" Painted Bra event for breast cancer awareness, attended a paint class, sketched and generally hid from the heat and humidity.

I just became a member of the Huntsville Art Council and look forward to meeting other artists and artsy people, AND I would like to have a workshop out of my house with some friends (anyone want to have a paint day?) and make some holiday items.  My favorite part of fall and winter holidays is presenting a loved one with a handmade gift.  The holidays are just around the corner and already full of events and travel.

OK enough blogging for today...Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!
