In honor of Mother’s Day….I thought that I would share a photo of this little firecracker creating her very first painting. Thanks for making me a Mom sweet girl. I love you to the moon and back.

Today was the first (ever in history) LODA Squares, Sidewalk Art Competition in Mobile, AL. It was hosted by the Mobile Arts Council (http://mobilearts.org) in conjunction with the SouthSounds music festival/art market and sponsored by several local businesses. I was sponsored by Folkers Windows (thank you!) The artists were asked to draw from 11:00 – 3:00 and the People’s Choice voting began at 3:00 pm.

I had a great time working along side 15 other artists at the Cathedral Square. We could not have asked for better weather with the high around 72 degrees and a nice breeze blowing through all day long.

Thank you to all who came out to support the arts (and me). It really meant a lot to see some familiar faces. 😉 I had so much fun and I won first place!

Am I the only one who enjoys this part?

This is a sneak peek of what I have been working on for the past couple of weeks. The project is coming together…slowly but surely…. Isn’t he cute?

This is a detail of a collaboration that I am working on, with a friend of mine. Its still in progress and more information to come. Stay posted! Happy Friday!

The USA Visual Arts Faculty is exhibiting work at the Eastern Shore Arts Center in Fairhope, AL for the month of April. I have one piece in the show! I just got back from the First Friday Art Walk and we had a great turnout. Everyone’s work looks wonderful and it is definitely worth seeing, if I do say so myself. If you happen to be over there, stop by and check it out. The work comes down on April 25 so you have plenty of time! You can make a day of it and walk down to Page and Palette and get lunch at Panini Pete’s (my new favorite lunch place)! 

A student from my Art Appreciation class just gave me this work that she made for me! Its full of found objects and fixed to an old High Lights Book. I love it! What a great day!

I love this. 

These are two 25 minute drawings from last night’s figure drawing group. It is good to be back. 😉
