This Weekend!

Hello my fab readers!

I apologize for being absent the past couple weeks.  I have been slacking on posting my Fine Art Friday's and I apologize.  But, I have a very good reason for slacking on my blog posts.  I'm excited to tell you that I have been creating away, getting ready for events I have and have had this month!  This past Friday (5/11) was a gallery reception, and I was and still am one of the featured artists!  I spent most of April preparing for this show and am happy to announce my work will be up until the 23rd.   So,  if you live in the SE Wisconsin area, stop by MOCT in the third ward in Milwaukee and check them out.  Click here to read more about this great event.

Also, the ambitious person that I am, I have a 3 day art show this coming weekend (18th-20th) and another next Saturday (26th)  that I have been busy getting ready for.  Click here to learn about this weekends event, and here for the show on the 26th.

It's exciting to see exciting things coming to fruition with my art career.  This road has been a long one, and I still have a long ways to go, to get to where I want to be, but, I'm so glad I stayed on it and never gave up. 

Fine Art Friday!

Hello my lovely readers and welcome to Fine Art Friday.   Critique, comment, and observe the piece below.

Please leave a link to a site or blog to lead us to another piece of work.  The goal of Fine Art Friday is to make this a traveling art gallery.

I'm pleased to announce that this piece has found a lovely home:-)  I apologize for the picture not being the greatest quality this week, but I had to share this with all of you.  I am in the process of creating limited quantity prints, so stay tuned!  This piece is 12x12" and was created using graphite, colored pencil, charcoal and acrylics.  I wanted to capture that lovely moment when the snow is falling and the street lights are illuminated just right, creating that perfect winter evening in the city.

Keep moving forward!

Hello my lovely readers,

It's been a while since I posted something that hasn't been a "Fine Art Friday" post.  I hope you are enjoying them!  They have been fun to put together and I have had some good responses from you:-)

Life in my art world has been picking up the pace lately and it's exciting.  Besides the weekly blog, some great things in the nonsocial media world, in the actual world where you meet and speak with people face-to-face have been occurring and manifesting.  I have three art events coming up next month, and they're all three weekends in a row.  So, I have my work cut out for me!  I have been creating some new pieces for these shows and it's been a blast letting my creative juices flow onto paper.  Once I have them all ready and prepped, I will post some.

Once the crazy month of May is over, I will fill you in on all that happens.  I have a feeling some great, life changing things are going to occur, but I am doing my best to go with the flow, not get my hopes up and let what ever is going to happen, happen.

Besides the Month of May events, I have also met some great new artist friends and some new opportunities may be in the midst.  Like the month of May, I will let you know more once I do.  All I can say is, some great opportunities are on the horizon.
