Next Art Show is "Wit and Whimsy of Contemporary Art"

My next project I am currently working on is an art Show at the JCC in Austin Texas July 6-August 17th. This is the Jewish Community Center on Hart Lane off of Far West. I will be showing in their gallery with the fabulous folk artist Terrell Powell. We each will get to display 20 or so pieces. I feel honored to be in Terry's company and look forward to the opportunity. I will add photos of pieces soon for a sneak preview of that show. Once hanging I will begin work on my show with Ziya Neema at Hyde Park Bar and Grill on Duval St. Austin Texas. This show will hang Sept Labor Day weekend for 5 weeks. Why am a blogging when I should be painting ?

Dia De Los Muertos

The Texas heat has given us a break and we are now seeing temperatures in the 80's thank goodness ! What that translates in my world is that I have the energy and inclination to return to my outdoor studio and begin painting again ! I have just finished 2 Dia de Los Muertos pieces for a group show in San Antonio at El Sol Studios in November. I will begin a mermaid today on a cabinet door almost 4 ft tall and a bit over a foot wide. The narrow board will make for a challenging pallet. I am soooooo happy to be painting again -I have really missed it. My next show in December will be the Virgin of the Guadalupe and she has already come to me finished so i will begin work on her soon.
