 I framed, order plexiglas, cut mats, cut backings, wrote out the show inventory and picked up plexiglas today. Tonight, I'm starting the title blocks. It will be more of the same tomorrow. I hang the show Sunday at the DAC (Downtown Artist Co-op) in Clarksville. Yes, I have a lot of work to do. Opening Reception Jan. 7th 5- 8 . . . y'all come!

 Yes, I put the finishing touches on Dec. 24th. Thank goodness it was for family and they were more understanding than most. It was a rough Dec. Honestly, moving my studio the end of Nov, first of Dec. was not the smartest thing I've ever done. Plus, I was sick with a cold like bug for two plus weeks. And, I participated in three crafts/bazaar events. Now, I have to frame and mat a few more paintings for my show at the DAC. Everything has to be up and ready by January 4th. The Opening Reception is Thursday, January 7!!!!
 January 7-29
Downtown Artist Co-op 96 Franklin Street Clarksville, TN 37040 Opening Reception Thursday, January 7 5-8 pm  I've been working hard to get the studio ready. I did paint one day and draw one day but other than that, I've been organizing and cleaning the place. Also, I have a "bug" too. So one day I was at the doctors. Tomorrow, I should be done. I should be painting by tomorrow afternoon.
 (Image was captured by photographer, Deanna Hampton.) My son asked me to do a charcoal drawing from a photo by photographer Deanna Hampton.. Deanna did most of the work, it's her composition and she captured the lighting. I worked from her image to turn it into a charcoal drawing on toned blue gray paper (this photo does not show the true colors). It was a gift to my daughter in law for her birthday today. Yes, those are my beautiful grandchildren. Below are some photos of the process I used. Also, Deanna Hampton also does photography workshops! http://www.deanna-hampton.com/#new-page-2  Today was my first day to paint in the new studio. I did these tiny canvases for tree ornaments. I still have to put a ribbon around them and I will add a bird on the snowy trees. Tomorrow is the Erin Holiday Arts and Craft show form 9-5 at the city hall. My Erin Christmas Cards came in today and I'll have them at the Show Friday and in the studio for sale. Also, the Downtown Artist Co-op on Franklin St in Clarksville is has their Christmas Bazaar starting tonight until Dec. 23.. I have a few holiday gift ideas there too. The new studio is a huge mess! It will take a while to get all the artwork on the walls and I have to find a place for everything.  |
