another baby leaves home.....



Ya, isn't that crazy?!! ....but it did feel like another one of the children was departing from the nest. This painting is titled "The Show" and it has been written about on my blog (in fact just a few days ago) and can also be seen on my Web Gallery. Erica has been absolutely in love with the colors in this work and is taking it home to hang above their couch.

Lately, I've been humbled by the interest and joy I see owning a work of mine brings other. I'm sorry to say that I enjoy the whole process of creating so much and of course the end result of that is to sell the work, that I had never thought a lot about how it makes the buyers feel.

Erica and Joe, it makes me so happy in knowing that this painting brings you joy and means so much to you. Thank you so much!!! "The Show" will be making it's new home in Omaha, Nebraska.

The Show

It's time!! The June First Friday Night Art Walk (June 5th) will be the opening night for my first ever solo show! Many of the pieces that will be in that show I have displayed over the last few weeks on my blog. Live music by Don Chapman and Jeremy Larson. I would like to thank Hawthorns Gallery for the wonderful opportunity they have given me and the review they gave for this opening, which can be read here. If you live in the Springfield area and would like to come, heres a map and I'll see you there!

"The Show" is an acrylic painting on a 36" x 48" 1 1/2" canvas. There is something that is lost in the photo when you can't see the size. Imagine it if you will- covering a wall (your wall!!) and the colors are so bright and happy! The colors are close. The canvas is just covered with beautiful color combinations and movement! (click on photo for up close) I love the colors!! It is one of my most recent pieces and so will not be included in this show. Maybe next time?! It was titled "The Show" by the one who so often titles my work, my husband, Don. It reminded him of theater lights and how so appropriate with this upcoming event. If you feel you may have the wall for this piece or for further information contact me. Well....hope to break a leg!!

To those of you who were involved in Elsie's 24 hour blogathon and won some of my paintings,I recieved your thank yous and you are sooooo00000 welcome. I'm sure they found good homes and will be enjoyed. Your comments were all so sweet- keep working on taking over the world with cuteness!!!!!
