I have an Art show coming up!

It's been a while since I have participated in any art shows, ok, a long while!! Last month I started with "The Fly" for the Five by Five Show for the Tampa Art Council which was held at the Tampa Art Museum. 

Today I am pleased to announce I will be in the "First Friday Seminole Heights" gallery show, November 7th, at the Pyramid Inc.

1. 1508 W Sligh Ave, Tampa, FL 33604
2. (813) 931-3986

along with Silk Artist Elizabeth Mitchell.

My silk and acrylic paintings along with some prints, posters and cards will be available to purchase.

Elizabeth will have her silk paintings available for purchase also and will be promoting her meetup groups called the "Inspiration Zone". 

Come out and see our art and what we have been INSPIRED to do.

A portion of the profits will be donated to the Pyramid, Inc. The Pyramid Adult Day Training Program is a non-profit organization serving more than 170 individuals with developmental disabilities in the Tampa Bay Area.

Work in progress

It's the Labor Day weekend so I sat down this evening and painted something that was a little different. I sketched this out but my hand at the top end of the pencil like a child might do. Then I painted gesso over it to make it a little scary looking. Now I am putting color in so I have some definition and hollow the eyes out a little more.  I am not sure how this is going to finish out, scary or just different. Stay tune to see the out come.
                                                             #1 - The beginning

#2 - Just a little different. Changed the shape of her face and put more color in.

#3 - Is she done????
       Anyone have some feedback????


Well, I have decided I like her so much that I am going to use some techniques that I have learned from my journal group, SoulJournaling which is a yahoo group. Sarah Whitmire teaches this group and has a few classes you can do for free. Sarah has been published several times in the Somerset Magazines. I have learned so much from this group. Please stop by and see what we are doing in this group....you will love it.

So stay tune with this project. It is going from a thin piece of paper that I was just playing around on to a cool picture that will be put on board next.  Stay tune.......
