Hello Dear Art Lover
The Urgency of Spring
Do you feel the same way? As soon as the calendar says it’s Spring, I think we should see the buds popping and the daffs nodding their bright yellow heads. I do know that’s not how it works here, but my Pollyanna keeps showing up. And I do actually like winter.
The busy spring/summer art season is gearing up but I have decided that the outdoor artfairs are no longer for me. I’ll be showing my work in less physically demanding venues. My studio door is always open for visitors and I love to share my current obsession with the gelli printing process. I also hope to be teaching at a local arts centre and my work will also be featured in an upcoming online gallery magazine. Details will be out soon.
Please save May 31 and/or June 1 to visit The Art Show at Peg’s home and garden gallery for her annual art show and fund raiser. Peg has collected an eclectic group of artists and loyal followers. We always have a great time.
One of my interests is following other artists on IG and recently I’ve discovered the delightful Anthony Eyton who is featured on his daughter’s posts. He is still painting at over 100 years old and seems to have all his marbles too. If your’e curious, check out Sarah Eyton on IG. I think I want to be him when I grow up.
This week I’ve attached the completed bird painting where I’ve incorporated some gelli printed papers. Look closely and you can see the delicate leaves that were used, as well as the vibrant feathers on the top bird. A good friend suggested the title. Reply to this letter if you’d like to see it in the flesh.
