I went last night to help an artist friend with her open studio, part of a gallery stroll. She was anticipating a crowd because she had been invited to do caricatures of some news people on the early show on tv. She is good at it but the crowds never descended. Too bad. She wanted me to take the money for her sold artwork while she worked the room. I really think it is a good idea as I am sure I lost some customers because I was wearing too many hats at my open studio.
Colleen also does very traditional watercolors but her technique is very good. She had bought some of my bookmarks and then gave them back to me framed professionally!! How sweet!
And she did a fun caricature our our friend Nancy, who does encaustic and abstract paintings. Nancy gave me 3 sheets of lovely paper made from rusted rice paper..awesome.
and this is how it looked this morning
and Amy wanting to play

Happy Birthday, Kay. I hope you got to spend lots of time by yourself. I hope your husband and your son remembered to buy you a present at least. That sure is some lovely rice paper you got and the book markers look good too. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteOMG, your birthday way yesterday and i missed it! Happy wishes to you, feel celebrated and hugged! Chers to many more lovely art!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Kay,
ReplyDeleteMay I add a hearty Happy Birthday to your growing chorus of well-wishers.
Sounds like quite a day, however, there was one thing you should have done to make it extra special.
After preparing a super spicy-hot batch of chilli, while it still bubbled, you poured it down Hubby's pants! Then, to show him you're a good sport, followed-up by pouring a cold beer over his head!
I think such an act would have made it a birthday to remember! And maybe hubby would remember it, too!!
Have a pleasant Sunday, Kay. You deserve it.
Sincerely,
Gary.
Belated happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteThe rusted rice paper looks amazing!
