But She Was A Mess Inside...

New, painting, new show! My newest mixed media, "But She Was a Mess Inside.":

Detail:

The new show at the PAPA Gallery in Paducah starts Wednesday, July 30!! I will have my newest painting there as well as some of my smaller works, so go check it out! The Paducah Area Painter's Alliance (PAPA), is a artist owned and ran gallery on Main St. in Paducah right off the riverfront and has over 100 member-artists that regularly show their paintings in all styles and mediums in three month shows. This show will be August through October. To learn more about PAPA, visit them on the web.

April Rain

My new painting, April Rain. Another addition in the mini painting series, this time a color study of cool colors instead of the warm colors I had before. I had difficulty resolving some issues on this one I think, or maybe I wasn't feeling as artistic yesterday. They say you should paint or draw everyday to grow as an artist and stay inspired, but some days that is sure harder than others. Boy, are "they" ever bossy!! On the positive end, though, I have had positive reaction The Grid on my website, and slowly artists from all over the country are emailing me their images to be included. I am very excited!!! If you haven't yet heard about this, consider emailing me (daydreamartist76@yahoo.com) a 100x100 pixel of your art work, photography, etc to be included in this interactive art project. It is starting to get fun to watch it grow, and helps everyone promote their own website or blog because I link the images to your website or blog. You can join even if you don't have a webpage, though!! Check it out!!

Baby Art~ awwwww....

awwwwwww how cute!



No, no, not art for babies! It's teeny tiny, itsy bitsy paintings! My newest paintings are mini- six inches square and one inch deep. Not only are they fun to do, they are my way of offering cheap art to anybody that wants original art without the snobby price tag. I enjoy doing them because it forces me to focus on one thing, instead of a bunch of different elements. Here is the painting I did last night. It is a study on color, and the details of one orchid. To buy any of my mini art, I have added a new page to my website- click here to see!
