Added a Playlist

It always startles me when I open a website and hear music. However, I was checking out other blogs and came across one with the greatest upbeat music, so...I added a playlist to mine!

The next Art&Soul artist opening is August 1st from 7:00 to 9:00 and will feature art from Hilary Latimer, Cydney Morel-Corton and Clare Steece-Julich.

As soon as I get some photos back of my newest piece, I'll post it. You're welcome to see it at Art&Soul Studios in Mebane!

Featured Artist Opening

Next Saturday, we will be hanging art for the artist reception in June. I'm a little stressed because I'm one of the featured artists! Our month includes artists who work in glass, soap/makeup, photography and painting. I think the four of us will complement each other well.

I just need to work on some paintings. Jerry's...here I come!

To learn more about future openings, feel free to browse the gallery's site: www.artandsoulmebane.com

Two Boys - Finished

I finished and framed the pastel painting above. It's never recommended to take a photograph of your work when it's already framed, but I forgot I didn't have the updated image. During my long shift at the gallery yesterday, I took quite a few photographs of the building, and some pieces of mine that are framed.

Art&Soul Classes

Some of you know (and I think I've posted this before somewhere) that I am a member of an art co-op. It's a really great gallery with a mixture of sculpture, pottery, paintings, jewelry, etc. I've enjoyed meeting the other artists and trying to get the gallery in gear for this year.

We are starting to offer classes upstairs and I'm one of the teachers! I'm starting slow, with only one class - a portrait drawing class for beginners. Check out the link for the gallery to see the other classes. (http://www.artandsoulmebane.com/). Hopefully, this will be a success!

Sold!

Some of you already know that I joined a local art co-op a few months ago. We've been quite busy trying to get the studio up and running as a co-op and last night we had a reception for friends and family. The turn out was great, and the gallery looked extremely nice. The website is being updated, but you can go to Art and Soul Studios to learn a little bit about us.

I also learned that I sold one of my pieces! What more encouragement can you ask for than to have your art sold! The piece is called "Three Sisters", painted with watercolor.

I have to work on replacing this piece and haven't decided on whether to do another watercolor or continue to work on some more charcoal or colored pencil. The painting that sold definitely inspired me to work on another one with the same theme. There is one that I've thought about doing with my son and nephews...We'll see!
