Unseen Art Exhibit - my framed pieces!

Today's been a smattering of everything and a finishing of nothing kind of day. Consequently I have no new painting finished to post. However, I picked up my 3 framed pieces for the Unseen Art Exhibit and I'm sharing them with you tonight. Silly maybe, but I feel like a proud momma seeing my paintings framed.

In addition to my trip to retrieve my paintings, I sketched my next painting and decided on a theme for the painting I will execute (in a nice way I hope) next week when three friends come to paint with me. We are taking on the Watercolor Artist - Speedy Delivery Creativity Workshop Challenge. It should be fun... but for now the subject is a secret.

Have a great evening!

Chippy Waiting 6"x8"

Today I'm posting a page from a sketch journal that I've been puttering in this summer. In June we sat out on my veranda with the dogs - our two are Kassie 14 yoa and Farley 3 yoa, plus Kim's dog Chippit 4 yoa. On this particular day, Chippy was watching and waiting for Kim to return. He was patiently waiting on the love seat and I quickly drew this up with my trusty sharpie and added some watercolor later. I think I captured his "slumped" mood.

I have some very exciting news to share. I had a call from Artpoint Gallery this afternoon and they have accepted three of my paintings for the "Unseen Art Exhibition" which runs this August!!! I submitted 10 images and they want me to decide between my 3 landscapes or 3 of my still life paintings. A conundrum for me - decisions, decisions. I'll keep you posted as I go through the process - this is ALL new to me. I've never exhibited anything and I have no idea what to expect. Fortunately, this show is all new artists so we're in the same boat - all newbies! Wish me luck!

Enjoy!
