I must be nuts...

Evidently I've completely forgotten how much work an art fair can be. I applied to, and have been juried into, the annual Creative Arts Guild's Festival held in September in Dalton, GA. The staff and volunteers at the CAG see that the artists are given FREE breakfast both days...and a FREE dinner on Saturday night. Nice. This photo was taken a couple of years ago around 7:00am before things started hoppin'.

hodge podge, mish mash

I have several projects going at the same time and none of them are finished yet.

I'm working on an acrylic of Old Glory for the July flag show at the Creative Arts Guild in Dalton, GA. It's 16"x20" acrylic on 1 1/2" deep gallery wrap stretched canvas. Then there are 2 (at least) plein air paintings I need to go back onsite to finish. And then there's the studio that needs 'decluttering' after these are finished.

Small Things Brought Together

8" x 10" oil on canvas board, painted en plein air, alla prima, on the morning of May 8th. The shadows were dark and the hay covered meadow was bright - what a beautiful morning to paint!!
I've entered this painting in the Creative Arts Guild's Festival Gallery show in September. It won't be available until after the exhibit closes. Hopefully it will sell, but if not I will post it again here.
