It has been a long time

It has been a long time since I've posted to my blog. Didn't even know if I was going to remember my password. Life has been busy and part of the busy has been painting up a storm. I've worked on almost 20 projects since the beginning of the year and feel great about them. Hopefully I'll get some of them photographed so I can share them with you.

Other news is the art group that I belong to is posting a blog. Nothing on it just yet but hopefully we will be posting every ones art soon. The link is http://nck-art.blogspot.com/ .

ROAR

It was another successful year at Russell's Original Art Review. I sold two painting and one won two awards. I love showing my paintings at ROAR!!!
(refer to the post called "Fall Light" to see the awarded painting. I don't have a photo of the other one that sold.)

Celebration Art Show

It has been a week since we had the "Celebration Art Show" not quiet the attendance that we were looking forward to having. The HOT and HUMID Kansas summer day kept most people at home inside and nobody was performing/playing music in the gazebo this year. Even with this it was a great day. All of us artist sat around in the air conditioned depot and talked art and life. Jan sold one painting(she does wonderful landscapes) and Pattie sold a couple of note cards(she is great at painting animals). If you want to see pictures of our little show you can click on the link to Pattie's blog. Hopefully we will be able to do this again next year. Remember our building is air conditioned if you are looking to beat the heat!

Celebration Art Show

I and other local artist will have art at the Depot in Downs, KS, on Saturday July 11, 2009. The show will run from 10 am to 9pm. This may also be your chance to see the artist at work. Often we bring projects or sketchbooks to pass the time. Hope to see you there!

Thank You

"Our View From Here"

I currently have artwork at the Deines Cultural Center in Russell, KS for a group show called "Our View From Here". All the artist are in the North Central Kansas Art Association (or Association of Artist. There seems to be some questions on the name of the group.) Anyway there is a bunch of great art from a bunch of great artists in a bunch of different media. If you happen to be in the Russell area or passing through Kansas on I70 take a few minutes to take in the show. It will be running until June 28, 2009. The Deines Cultural Center Hours are: Tues-Friday 1:30-5:30 pm and Saturday and Sunday 1-5 pm.

The End

It is the end of the year 2008 and hopefully the end of me not producing any art. It was sometime around July when I lost my art mojo. Some how I forced 2 completed paintings out of myself, but that was it. Tomorrow is a new day and a new year so hopefully things will turn around.

Happy New Year!!!!!

Buffalo Roam

Yes, it has been a long time since I have posted. With the election being over I'm hoping to get back to the art world. With saying that, a group of us from NCKAA (North Central Kansas Artist Association) are showing our art at the Buffalo Roam Restaurant in Mankato, KS. The Show will be up until the first of the year.
