Sandpoint Art Walk

Art Walk at the Pend d'Oreille Winery was wonderful. Lots of people out and about. The Winery had great music and snacks. I was happy to visit with people and tell them all about my work. I had a mix of work including Encaustic and mixed media Acrylics. The newest works are the Acrylic with the birds.

New Birds

This is one in a series of three. I put a water mark on it. Size is 8x10 I will need to frame them to look finished.

Great Day Playing in Clancies Garden

It is wonderful when you can get together with a friend and play in the sunshine. Clancie set up a pick nick table in her wonderful yard and we painted. It was so relaxed and fun.

Up Coming Shows

Well I'm going to be in the POAC Art Walk in Sandpoint Idaho on June 12th and Art on the Green in Coeur d'Alene Idaho on July 31st. So I'm working like a little crazy lady. here are a few new pieces and still in progress.

Harmony Yarn

Two more for Harmony Yarn , Red head yarn lady and the Queen of yarns.  Both are done with a combination of methods, painting, mono printing, collage.  They are 3 feet all and should fit well on the very tall walls with all the sweaters and knitted projects.  

Fiber Arts are huge and wonderful.  The owner Melody, says that men are a very big portion of her clients, this was a surprise to me.  Hey good for them!  For me knitting and crochet puts me in a very calm state, just plain feels good. All the color, all the touchy feely comfort, eye candy, a good place to be.

Art Style Gallery and More

I have a few pieces of Jewelry here, along with my fellow Spokane Jewelers. There is so much talent in this group.

This is a great little Gallery in the Garland District of Spokane WA. Please stop by and see the show ArtStyle Gallery

These are sample for my next Blanchard Class

Harmony Yarn

Harmony Yarn, the best yarn store in Coeur d'Alene Id.  has moved.  They are in the Bear Paw Center across the Fred Meyer parking lot.  My Friend Melody asked to make some wacky ladies for the store.  She has moved into a new space and would like art for the 15+ foot ceilings.  The walls are painted a beautiful periwinkle.  This is the first of 4 Yarn people.  This yarn lady is 5 ft tall.  Melody also wants more of my art for showings and selling.  I'm very excited to do this.

A combination of classes

This is a portfolio made from a book I found at a used book store.  The front is from two wonderful experiences.  The first at Artfest in Port Townsend and Anne Bagby in Calgary.  It is covered and collaged, ripped and glued. 

Calgary and Anne Bagby

This was a wonderful workshop. Anne Bagby is a great teacher and very generous. She was so full of energy and everyone was so excited by color and pattern. It is going to take a while to absorb everything. I really enjoyed meeting all the ladies.

We made many many papers for back grounds and what ever. Many can stand alone as a painting. Here is a sample I'm working on for a full sized piece with a image for a local store.

Blanchard Class

Blanchard has the most wonderful Community Center ever. They have worked very hard to this going so everyone in this small north Idaho area has a place to meet and share. Look at all the cute little aprons hanging from the ceiling. On this day we had 2 painting classes going. Mine was large scale collage and the other was beginning portraits in oils. It was a great day with lots of sunshine.
