T.C.Steele 2016

Today ended up fabulous.

But this morning it rained the entire time that everyone was painting at the Festival of Flowers T.C. Steele paint out. Again i used a denim canvas. Bigger this time. 16x12. All my preconceived ideas were shattered by the awesome construction and rehabilitation they are doing on the property.  The end result turned out better this way. I have a great painting of the wisteria vines covering the entrance to the house. 

And i got an honorable mention. Woo, my first award at a paint out! 

Because there is such a long wait in between paintings due and paintings judged I went and did a fast abstract of a dark red peony. I'm happy with it, for what it is. 

What fun thing did you do today? Did it include artwork? I hope so. Art is beautiful and fun. 

Watch me in action!

Dear friends, Come watch me in action at this years Festival of Flowers T.C. Steele Historic Site in the beautiful Brown County. I will be participating once again in the paint out, rain or shine. This year I plan to enter three different categories. I'll need your support to get each piece finished. Please join me for a lovely day among the flowers.

Mother's Day success!

Finally, after a year of work & procrastination & work, 

I have finished and presented Mother's Day 2015! This sculpture is all about memories of my mother. The little girls is floating in a dream cloud of stories and music. 

My mother is the BEST story teller! This was made with love to honor her. 

Happy Mother's Day!
