We had a great success at our 1st Members Show for Artists of the Superstitions, held on April 27, 2008. What a great turnout! Thanks to all of you who stopped by and took my brochure. We are all so enthused about this success, we'll be planning a Fall show as well. That will be in late November or early December. Some great things are happening in our little art group!
One Week until our Show at the Gold Canyon Golf Resort. I am busy getting ready with framing and matting my new pictures.
My Intermediate class will be ending next Saturday. A great group that I'm going to miss. So many of our residents are "winter residents" and now is the time most of them leave to go back to homes in the midwest and Canada.
Will be traveling back to Sedona in May. Hope to get some great pictures to turn into inspired paintings.
Welcome back to my portfolio. I have been busy with my teaching duties at the local Community College. My beginners' class is ending on March 29, 2008, and we will be off to the Arboretum for some plein aire painting. Last year I started my watercolor called "Agave in the Garden" with my beginners class. It is now framed and ready to show.
I am also busy with our art group "Artists of the Superstitions" which was formed just a year ago and already has 40 members. We are a very active group. Look for our members' show on April 27, 2008, at the Gold Canyon Golf Resort on Kings Ranch Road. Then on November 1st and 2nd we will again present our Artists' Studio Tour. I am involved in the planning for both of those events.
It's been a very busy year so far. A show in January and again in February, plus I had two paintings juried into the Gilbert Art League Show, which just ended. Also, having a lot of fun with my beginning and intermediate classes. All are so eager to learn and succeed in watercolor painting - and that makes for an enjoyable day.
I belong to Artists of the Supersitions, an art group here in Gold Canyon and Apache Junction. We are barely a year old, and have already hosted a Studio Tour, and are planning a members' show on April 27. This is a very active and involved group and it's a pleasure to be a part of such enthusiasm.
Well, just had our big day (January 26, 2008) at the Canyon Arts Festival, presented by the Gold Canyon Arts Council. It was a BEAUTIFUL day, thankfully. There was threat of rain all week, but it held off until the evening. The turnout was wonderful, and it was nice to reconnect with former students, friends and art buddies. If you came by my booth, thanks for the lovely comments. They are much appreciated. Please explore my portfolio to see the many more pictures I can't bring with me to the shows. E-mail me with any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you!
Thank you to all my family,friends and neighbors who have supported me all these years, with words of encouragement. Thanks to my teachers, for being patient and kind in critique (such a great learning tool). Take a minute and say hello as you pass through...
Getting ready for my class starting January 12, 2008. Those of you have already signed up...you are in for an awesome adventure. Welcome.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all who come to my blog. This is so new to me...my first blog... Love to hear from you if you have the inclination!
I've had three successful shows this fall. I participated in the first "Art Walk" by the Gold Canyon Artists', which was very successful. I was juried into the Arts and Crafts Fair at Apache Junction that was held on November 17 & 18. An I participated in a local Arts and Crafts show on December 1.
In January, I have been juried into the Canyon Arts Festival on January 26, 2008, held in Gold Canyon, AZ. I am also in the Soroptomist Art Fair held in conjunction with Lost Dutchman Days held in Apache Junction.
I will be teaching Beginning Watercolor starting on January 12, 2008, at the local College.
