I'm Interviewed on Miz Katie's blog!

Katie, at Miz Katie's blog, has been kind enough to feature me on her blog! She has done a beautiful job putting the interview together and I'm tickled pink about it!

Please take a moment to stop over and give it a read:

She is a wonderful artist, so I'd encourage you to browse around her web site and Etsy shop, too. Really cool artwork; I think you'll enjoy it:

The Sketchbook Project, 2010 Library Tour

What a cool flyer! The folks at Art House Co-op put this together to advertise the Sketchbook Project.

The first show was January 29-30 in Atlanta, and the 6 remaining shows are listed on the flyer. If you happen to be in  Brooklyn, Boston, Los Angeles, St. Louis, or Chicago, stop in and check out a book!

Details about the project and exhibits are on their web site:

Another Attempt At Panache Figs

I liked the first painting of figs enough that I did another. The figs are larger in this one, but the arrangement and colors are pretty much the same. The style is a little looser.

I'm not entirely sure this one is finished, so I popped it in a frame and hung it up where I can look at it for a few days. So far, I'm fond of it.

As with the other, this one is acrylic paints on 8x10 inch canvas.
