A Very Lovely Day

I spent all day Saturday at a workshop given by Sharon Geraci at her beautiful new studio. It was a lovely day spent making art and reconnecting with our muses. Sharon is an amazing collage artist, watercolor artist and teacher. Be sure to check out her site. She also teaches at Multnomah Arts Center starting again in the fall. See below for work done on Saturday. Also this work posted on my blog was done in classes taken with Sharon.

This is Sharon with her beautiful collaged piece that was accepted into the Lake Oswego Arts Festival in the juried show in June, 2009

I call this piece "Fear of Pears". It's hard to see but the big pear on the right is holographic paper that when viewed is dimensional and looks like a black hole. Click on for a better view.

Second piece that I did. Click on for a better view.

Drawn on the deck during lunch break.

Art Show This weekend

I will be in the art show Artists Among Us this weekend at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral at 147 NW 19th Ave (at Everett), Portland, Oregon 97209. The show is free and the hours are Saturday, May 9th from 10 am to 4 pm and Sunday, May 10th from 9 am to 3 pm. The collages above and more are what I have in the show. Stop by if you are out and about in Portland.

Mermaid

This was done as an entry in a blog I was participating in. I originally was making this mermaid for Kim Antieau. I decided that she needed to be with her intended owner so she was mailed off to Washington and is home where she belongs. Check out Kim's blog and Church of the Old Mermaids book.
