The original painting of this image is at Art on Depot. Cathey suggested I try a pair. I’ve used the streaming enamel paint that I’ve been using recently for the stems. These are acrylics, the original is oil on paper. I did it in SA 1991 or 1992. I like the looseness of these new ones. Blanket Flowers are a native wildflower in Texas.

Dash between the raindrops tomorrow, to Frog Level. My booth will be in front of Art on Depot, or inside, if it’s pouring. I have lots of new and “affordable”( never say cheap!) original art pieces.

Keep it Alive.

Support the Library! Tell the legislators why you use the library. Are you looking for work, filing important paperwork, getting a DVD, downloading music and books, or just checking out a book. On May 28, at 7pm, meet the head of the library, and some of the county commissioners. As they chop the budget, we must be heard. Meeting in the Fines Creek Gym. Think of your neighbors and the children in this community, and the blessing that the library is to education and entertainment.

This was the steering committee meeting on May 9.

Whole Bloomin’ Thing is Sat.

Do you have a spot for a round piece of art. Check out my abstract Dahlia. Or how about a salamander. My booth will be in front of Art on Depot. I’ve made a deal with my brother in TX. Sat. he gets the rain and I get the sun!

Should I call these “Sketchy Girls”? They are so much fun to make! I’ll be showing them on May 11, 2013 down in Frog Level at the fair.

Dahlia

This round background lends itself to a dense circular bloom, the dahlia. They come in all colors and sizes. Remember, this is a painting, not a living flower.

This is my second year doing the street fair that celebrates spring. These are small multi-media works, that will be very affordable. Flowers and octopi are spring like, right?

Gonna be a Dahlia

These round pieces of plywood come from our local Restore. I’m interested in painting a round flower on a round ground. May be too hokey.

Salamanders

Western North Carolina is known for it’s diversity of salamanders and newts. I did a series of 12 red salamanders. The streaming enamel paint makes each one unique. Anyone who’s played in the creeks around here has seen some kind of salamander. I will be showing the series at The Whole Bloomin’ Thing, May 11.

I’m working on a series of small works on paper for the fair. They will be affordable, so come by and pick one. May 11, in front of Art on Depot.
