Lake Country Artisan's Guild at The Prizery

We were all so tickled to be here in this show.  We had such fun setting it up on Thursday, and we all participated in bringing appetizers, the Parsons Bruce Art Association brought treats, too - and provided the Wine!  The show will be open until mid-August, so if you didn't get a chance to come to the reception June 4th, you still have plenty of time to see the show.  Just ask at the front desk and they will gladly take you down to see it!

There are some people I cannot say no to - Shirley Cadmus, Owner of Milton Studio and Art Gallery is one of them.  She asked if I would teach a class on the techniques used to create abstract painting.  Sure, I said - so I'm gonna jump in and do it on July 13th!  It's free, and it should only take an hour.  Please come if you can - most importantly, come so you can see this fabulous gallery and come back often with your friends and BY SOME ART!  :-)

This is the first annual juried show that HCAC has put on - and in conjunction with the Lake Country Artisan's Guild.  35 artists were represented and 90+ pieces of art were submitted to be considered for the show.  They had an Awards Ceremony on April 7th and the turnout was remarkable, as you can see, and the artwork even more stunning!  Sit back and enjoy both the art and the people!  Thank you for stopping by!

This was my second time to see this show and it was a spectacular as the first.  Some of the interpretations of the art into floral arrangements was spot on, other times it was like huh?  But oh so enjoyable!  Here are some photos for you to enjoy!

I am just thrilled beyond words.  The Lake Country Artisans Guild has been invited to hang our art in the meeting room of this fabulous new coffee shop downtown Clarksville!  Great news for us as individuals, and even greater news for us as a Guild.  We are getting recognition together throughout the art world in VA and NC!  Could not be happier.  We are hanging artwork on Monday and will be a part of their grand opening/ribbon cutting ceremony coming up!  You know I'll take lots of photos, so please stay tuned!

An Artist's Yard

Ever wonder where the creativity stops with an artist?  I don't believe it does!  Here is the Fairy Garden in front of our house.  I think there are like 120 stones with mosaic on them.  I do think I am done with those!  And the fairies got newly painted doors, new mushrooms and steps.  And the tree trunk fern holders got replaced as well.  Only took 5 years to decay!  Who knew? Anyway, here are some pictures for you to enjoy!

We could not have asked for a better turnout for this art show.  This community is so very supportive of the arts, and they were the nicest bunch of people I've met in a long time!  Several of our Guild members attended, and 3 of my favorite neighbors came!  It's been two days and I have not stopped grinning!!!  Sarah Buldoc, our President, did a fabulous job coordinating the hanging of this show and her speech about the 3 of us was so very touching.  Wish I'd have recorded it - would be a great way to start each day!!!

I painted this commissioned piece for the RR Club and they turned around and donated it to the Chamber of Commerce to hang in their office!  Just tickled me to death and I was honored to be a part of their dedication process.

I am honored to have been the one the Chamber asked to paint these historical buildings!  They are finally going to be available to the public for purchase at the upcoming Harvest Festival, October 6th!  The history of each building is on the back of the cards, along with their official historical landmark ID  Here are the 5 paintings done for these cards!

I had to go back to see this show again - there were so many people at the Artist Reception, it was really hard to enjoy the artwork!  It's just lovely.  Stop in and see it if you can - just ask the gift shop staff to open the museum for you and take all the time you want!

A Commissioned Piece

This was a project that started with Linda Davenport at the Galleria, with much gratitude.  This lovely lady came in with a piece of paper with a small black and white photo of an old church that used to exist in Nelson, VA.  It took me 3 complete tries to get this where I wanted it.  I'm happy with the results.  I'll give the painting to Linda to matt and frame and then she will contact this wonderful woman to come pick it up!
