Gladiola

The Fairfield Art Show was alot of fun. The student tents looked great. I was so proud of all my students. They presented their paintings in such a professional way and they really looked wonderful. Then on top of that Cherrie won 2nd place and Linda won honorable mention. They both really deserved it. They have worked very hard and their painting has come such a long way. And they were complimented by the Judge, Kay Hofler.

I sold my Gladiola to of all people my father-in-law, who celebrated his 90th birthday July 5th. When he said he wanted to buy a painting I told him that I didn't invite him to the show to make a purchase. He told me not to tell him how to spend his money. This was a good purchase because now I can see my painting whenever I'm at his house!

Tomorrow evening from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm is the Opening at the East Beach Gallery for the show 8 Women. If your in the neighborhood come on down and see what we've been working on. There will be food and wine and art. Who could ask for more!

Fairfield Summer Art Show

Well I just wanted to touch base with everyone and let them know that the Fairfield Summer Art Show was a success. The artist's represented were so talented and had wonderful art to look at and purchase. It was a festive atmosphere with food, music and a water slide. There could have been more traffic but it was only the first year of the show.

I had sold some prints and notecards and then at 4:45 pm (the show ended at 5:00 pm) I sold four paintings. One of the paintings was my Pineapple. I just painted it, framed it and put it in one art show and it sold. I will miss it. But I think the customer will love it as much as I did. And I can always paint another.

Right now I'm in the painting mode. I have five paintings going at the same time and it is almost overwhelming. I need to get them done for the show at Pembroke 4 at the end of this month. Wish me luck.

Fairfield Summer Art Show

I just wanted to remind everyone about the Fairfield Summer Art Show tomorrow July 3rd at Fairfield Shopping Center from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
It is sponsored by the Creative Artists of Tidewater along with Jerry's Artarama with the support of the Fairfield Shopping Center. The Art Show will have 20 local artists displaying their latest art. There will also be food and drinks, live music, an indoor train show and a giant water slide. It sounds like a great way to begin your celebration of the fourth of July holiday. So if your in the neighborhood stop on by and see the art as well as have a little fun. I'd love to see you.

Bye the way look carefully at the flyer. Two of my paintings are on it. The first person that can guess one of them and writes a comment on my blog will win a 5 x 7 print.
