Texas Bluebonnets

The last couple of weeks have been really busy, I haven’t been able to paint very much, but have accomplished many other things. Spring brings an abundance of flowers to our area, one of which is the beautiful bluebonnet. Needless to say I have been taking many photos to utilize as reference images for future works. I definitely see a bluebonnet piece in my future.  I am also in the planning stage with a couple of commission clients. Commission pieces are always interesting and allow me to access an alternative creative side, not only must I love the piece, but most importantly, the client must. So now I look at the painting not only through my eyes, but also the eyes of my clients. I have also been working with the folks at Fine Art Registry, they selected my work to be featured this month. They did a fantastic job on the article and the work looks wonderful, check it out if you get a chance. I’m still working on my Clematis piece, haven’t added much, but I will be working on it at the Discovery Gallery this Saturday, from 10:00 until 1:00, in a little meet and greet the artist. Well, it’s back to work.

Texas Discovery Gardens

Zebra Longwing and Penta

I have been so busy working on the Exhibit for the Texas Discovery Gardens Gallery, at Fair Park. There are so many things to do, few of which involve painting. I have been working on registering my work on www.fineartregistry.com. What a great site; by using the FAR unique tamper evident tags , I can register each piece of my work that I have created. It gives me a permanent record, complete with photos, full description and tag number in the FAR official, secure database where it will remain forever. When I sell my work I can then carry out an online transfer of ownership of the piece. It has truly been a valuable tool for me as an artist. I have also been working on finishing up a painting, “Zebra Longwing and Penta”, getting prints, cards, etc. made for the gift shop. Putting together emails etc., etc. Lots to do, but what a great opportunity and a true blessing. Hope all can make it March 26, 2010 from 6:00pm til 8:00pm for the opening reception, the exhibit will be hanging from March 22 until July 31. Well back to work.
