Getting ready

I'm buckling down on getting things done for spring. It seems like there's a lot of time but it zips by fast and before you know it there's an Art Fair looming! :)

New Work for Fall 2012!

New work!

I know…amazing right. I had spaces to fill up since the Common Ground Art Fair so I've been busy, busy!

This one is called 'Pond Flitter' and the original is still available. I do also have prints and notecards also.

This one below, 'Lily Pad Walker', is available in prints and notecards. 

Here's one that never made it to market as an original….destined for someone who helped me out in a big way. Thanks! It's called 'Amy's Dragonfly' and is available as a print or a notecard.

The next pieces are all new works that will be available at the Great Lakes Art Fair this weekend. There are no prints or notecards available for any of the following works. However there may be in the future, say 2013 summer.

'Summer Remanent'

'Regal Plummage'

and the long awaited colorful explosion………

'Kaliedoscope Blossoms'

All these pieces are available this weekend at the Great Lakes Art Fair…..come on down and see me!

I'll be there this weekend

and 7/29 from 10-5pm.

Come on by and see me! :)

Sooooo Wyandotte is proving to be a hard Art Fair for me. I like my art to be reasonable, affordable…cuz my art doesn't do me any good sitting in my stock tubs. I made it to be enjoyed by the likes of you. And because I live in the Metro Detroit area I know how bad people have it and art is the last thing they can afford. So I make sure that I have plenty of small art things, in this case bookmarks and cards, that sell for a reasonable $3. That way you can have a little bit of art even if you can't afford any of the bigger pieces. But I can't even sell those at this fair. And there are more people than you can shake a stick at walking by this at this art fair…..I just don't get it.

Reworking….new "old" artwork

Working on new art for the Wyandotte Street Art Fair in two weeks. Is is a reworking of an older drawing called "Dolores"  I also have some new bookmarks in the works and a few other things up my sleeves….  ;-) 
I am hoping to have quite a few new works done for this fair. At four days long it is, by far, the longest art fair I've done to date and I'm not to sure how to stock for it.  If dreams come true than I'll need a lot of "hole fillers" because I've sold a lot of framed originals and have to fill the voids they've left behind.  Worst case scenario is I'm stocked up on artwork for the foreseeable future….LOL. Though that doesn't seem to last that long once I've completed pieces they tend to leave me for other abodes. I guess that's a good thing that all my "little babies" get to find new homes to be loved in.
Okay…..off to create….. keep cool and enjoy art!

A little summer fun….'Ladybug'

The Secret

Here's a new piece called "The Secret". It's called that after the Emily Dickinson poem of the same name that's lodged in the 4th ring from the center. When I had finished the piece I had those 5 spaces open and I wanted to add some text of some kind or another. I thought that a poem would work there and Emily Dickinson has a lot of 4 and 5 line poems so I got out my worn volume of her poems and leafed through it. The book practically opened itself to the page with this poem on it. I thought it worked well with the drawing. It spoke of 'things that fly" (dragonfly) and of "things that stay" (bricks, fossils, stones). The muse provides again….I couldn't have found a better poem! That synchronicity happens a lot for me….it's uncanny how often that it happens. Believe it or not I usually let my pieces tell me what their names are. I think "title?" and wait to see what answers come to me. Usually it's obvious. I hear the word(s) and they feel right. Thus the title arrives However this piece couldn't let go of the poem's title so it ended up with the same name.
