I always paint the backgrounds first in case I screw them up!!!  And plain black is kinda boring to me so added some silver webbing spray!  Ready to paint some flowers!

My first sale since I joined again nearly two years ago!  Dropped my prices to $1 an inch both there and Corner at 216.  Hoping to sell more art!  And if I don't, it brings me such joy to do.  Here is the painting that sold!  Stained glass effect of Rosemont Wine and Art Festival.

Gosh, I haven't done a blog in so very long.  I've been painting a lot - for Rosemont and the Corner at 216.  We even did a show at the Fine Arts Center where I featured Clarksville in Stained Glass and it was such fun!  I've learned a new technique, collages - they are so much fun!  I have 14 ready to begin of many rock stars that I am so excited about.  Learned this technique from my special artist friend, Suzy Powell, who was such a great teacher and I'm forever grateful!  I will post them when I finish!!!  I did my first one of dear friend, Kevin Kuhn and he loves it!  Stay tuned for more pics as I finish them.  Thank you for stopping by!!!

I've decided to do my storefront on Le Galeriste again.  Put everything at 30% OFF through the end of the year.  A Corner at 216, where my artwork is for sale, has agreed to sell my Le Galeriste scarves - they should arrive in 30 days or less.  I won't be going after boutiques again, just staying small and stress free!  I'm really excited.  Nearly finished with my first new painting to be turned into Wearable Art by Andrea Burke - I'd forgotten how much fun it is to paint for clothes!!  Color me HAPPY!!!!  www.legaleriste.com/andrea.burke

I had donated 8 paintings to the VA Avenue Mall for their auction.  Janet, one of the employees, really wanted the sunflower painting, but the bids got too high for her budget.  So I painted this one for her just cuz she's such an amazing woman!  Delivering it this afternoon!

It's that time again, switching out artwork at The Corner at 216.  I'm hoping people will want to buy these to put in their "grandkids room" when they visit!  It could happen!!!!

I love this vineyard.  Love the family who own and run it.  Love the wine.  Love that they are having huge success with their many, many events being held in the big beautiful barn!  Gave this painting to Ren Hite because she does so much to help the vineyard and plays major park in keeping it so beautifully decorated!!!

I follow a page on Facebook "Free Reference Photos for Artists".  They have fabulous photographers submitting photos all the time - I broke my own rules of only painting from my photos and I used them for my "Bugs Island" series and my "Animal" series.  

Anyway, they had a contest to paint their winning photo for January and I jumped in:

These are ready for the next time I change out artwork.  Have been trying some new things - landscapes, animals, bugs....it's been fun and I've learned a lot.  It's time for me to paint slowly as if I am entering juried shows and be the best that I can be again.  Painting for clothes was a wonderful experience - no rules, judges, etc., - just fun designs for clothes.  Need to get back into the "game".  In the meantime, I'm hoping these animals might be a welcome addition to children or grandchildren and their bedroom walls!
