The Art of Gardening

Had a great time at the Grapevine Art Project Show, despite the rain and threat of a tornado! Not a big fan of tornado threats, that’s just not suppose to happen in October, but it did. After my anxiety attack subsided, we all were provided with a great opportunity to have some nice long conversations, when they shut us all in the area until the threat had passed. Thank you to all who came out on Friday evening despite the Rangers playing; WooHoo, World Series Bound, and those who braved the weather on Saturday. The Art of Gardening won Peoples Choice for Palette, many thanks to all who voted! Sunday,  I painted at the Source for Fellowship Creative. What a wonderful time. I actually painted this piece on plywood and finished it in under 2 hours, not bad for someone who takes weeks and weeks on her paintings. Painted a lot looser and just had fun. There were three other artists painting at the same time, all were super talented and such an inspiration!

Although the weather was a bit dreary, we really had a great time at the GAP Art Show at the Lancaster Theater in Grapevine, this past Saturday. Karen and I had a great spot, thanks so much to all who braved the wet weather and came out to support the arts.  I was able to get in some painting and Karen and I were able to visit with so many great people about our art. People loved Karen’s new “Fiber Art” and it was so interesting to hear her talk about her loom.  It’s a whole new vocabulary; one which she has learned well, and is excelling at. I am working on a new piece featuring Clematis flowers which are going crazy on our trellis in the side yard. I’ll keep you posted on it’s progress.
