Art Journaling Classes

 
 
 
 
Go from a full sheet of pastel paper a homemade journal in a matter of hours, using some basic supplies like markers, inks, stencils, watercolor pencils, and masking tape.

 
 

I'll be leading fellow journalers through the steps at a class in Longwood, Florida (near Orlando) next Monday evening, February 25th. For more information, contact Debbie, your hostess with the mostest, at The Craft Shack.
 

And for you locals who are excited about this idea, just hold tight - I'll offer the same class this fall in Rochester, Michigan.

 
Meanwhile my grownUP Journalers are meeting this Thursday evening from 6-8pm at the Orion Art Center. Being as February is the month of love, we'll be focused on journaling about our passions. Class is $15 and there's a little bit of mental homework to prepare - please RSVP to me and I'll get you started.

 
Have a great evening!

Group, Solo & Invitational Shows


These exhibitions are different in nature in that a curator has an idea and collects specific artists and works that exemplify their concept.

 
These exhibitions can be hosted in a number of spaces from a regular gallery setting, to a museum or even a restaurant or other public space.

 
A group show contains multiple pieces from a select number of invited artists.
 

A solo show contains the work of just one artist.
 
An invitational show can contain the work of many artists.

 
Typically it is the artists' responsibility to create and prepare the work for exhibition, which means they assume all the costs of making and framing the art.

 
Opening reception and marketing/promotional costs are usually part of the hosts' responsibility, but circumstances do vary.

 
Commissions paid on sales differ depending upon the arrangement with the host space and are outlined in a contract as part of the artist-curator negotiations.

 
Participating in these types of shows, especially when the curator or included artists have an excellent reputation, can be a powerful addition to an artists' resume. It also provides a fabulous opportunity to network with other artists and build relationships with those responsible for recommending artists to collectors and exhibition spaces.

Picture Book "A Dog Named Blue" - now available!!

The cover of "A Dog Named Blue," now available from Blurb publishers. When I first painted Amelia I never imagined that she would be re-christened "Blue" and inspire a book. In her defense, Amelia had a number of other partners in crime - animals who's portraits seemed to fall into a specific color category and prompt color-centric names. In typical ADD fashion, my brain started spinning 100mph. What if I turned those muses' paintings into a picture book for animal loving kids? I shared my idea with three friends in the industry, and they eagerly offered their expertise. I am truly indebted to them. Illustrator and author Matt Faulkner and children's book author and literacy expert Kristen Remenar edited an early version of the draft. They suggested key plot/conceptual changes that made it oodles better. Designer Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson worked her magic, pairing the images with perfectly color...

Tabby Kit

"Tabby Kit," 5" x 7", acrylics on a museum quality panel, depicting a tiny little orange striped guy from Morgue File . This painting can be yours for $289, which includes s&h inside the US. And in case you didn't see it, a little doodle of him is also available for sale here . Inquires may come directly to me .  Although it certainly doesn't FEEL like spring here (snow and ice and wind chills, brr!), I can tell that spring is coming. The mercury is rising a wee bit each day and the days are getting longer and brighter. Over the weekend we drove with the moonroof open just to feel the sun's meager and oh-so-very-welcome warmth (although the heat in the car was cranked, too, in the interest of full disclosure!). I wanted to work with spring-like colors today, and this little guy was still on my mind , so I grabbed a small panel and got to work. Of course, I also have Poppy to finish and some changes to make to another po...

Dear Copyright Thieves

Dear Copyright Thieves,   Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's free for the taking. So let's just stop pretending the internet is a free-for-all.   Don't play the card that you didn't know - that's insulting. And don't also tell me that you meant to follow up and get permission but never got a chance to. That's insulting too. And by the way, don't you have a copyright protection notice on your own site?   And don't even try and point the finger at a third party who commissioned you to make a copy of my painting - again, an insult - you and I both know the difference between a reference photo and a painting.   And don't tell me that I asked for it because I share my artwork on the internet. I share my paintings and ideas and the stories behind them so as to encourage others to pursue  their own passions . I do not share so that those lacking integrity and morals can copy and market the images as their own...
