Wow! I can’t believe how time flies! Tonight is the Artist Reception for my held over show at Wug Laku’s Studio & Garage Gallery. I’m very excited – and nervous as usual – and looking forward to an evening of talking about my art and showing my paintings.

I am flattered and overwhelmed by the response, and to think the show is being held over to accommodate more visitors and attention…just awesome!

Hope you can make it out to Downtown Indianapolis tonight for the Downtown Gallery Walk! The weather looks like it is going to be very cooperative and will make your visit even more enjoyable!

Stop in and say hello! As a reminder – wUG LAKU’S Studio & gARAGE is located off of 10th Street at 1125 Brookside Avenue – it will be a fun time! Don’t miss it if you are around!

On the easel – I have been also trying to find time to paint in Studio! Here is a little peak at a painting that is nearly finished. Just working on some details and will soon be calling it done! It is probably the next to last painting in my Juarez, Mexico portrait series. The painting is 35x70”. Drop me a line and let me know what you think! I am planning on putting a little video together when all finished to show you the journey up to this point – so be on the look out for that! (I know, I know! So much excitement and fun stuff coming your way!)
Summer is flying by, and I know that makes most people sad, but I have to say that I’m pretty happy about it. When the weather is crappy, and the wind, snow and rain are blowing, I do seem to spend a great deal more time in studio working. After all that is what bad weather is for in my mind, and I don’t have to invent reasons or excuses like – I think I’m developing an allergy to grass and air; or my oxygen level is too high and I need to be in a small room with tubes of sealed paint to help balance it out; or to keep my tolerance level for turpentine and gesso ingestion high I need to subject myself to it in large doses.

Right now however, tins of fizzy pop out on the deck with the great weather, family and friends are winning out over studio time…then there’s the yard work…ugh. (I refer to yard work as the dark evil force in my life that makes me question liberty and freedom and if it really exists on the other side.) But have no fear…I do have several projects – as usual – in store and in my mind to keep me busy! And to answer some e-mail inquiries – YES – cement will be involved! There is no going back now!

Well, I’ll leave off for now…I have a show to get ready for! So I better get to hopping! Speaking of hopping…my miniature Doxie – Dylan – killed a rabbit in the yard today. I hope that is a sign of nature in action and not an omen that I will be visited by the yard work devil soon.

Stay tuned and be sure to check in next week for the next installment of Cagney King – Artist in Residence on WHBU radio show.

Rock on everybody!

Hey, so proud of your held over show - you may see me tonight. Love the pic of Dylan - he is quite the rascal. We will have to make it out to your place soon to see you, him and everyone. Also I giggled at the allergies to grass and air - know the feeling - sometimes I fee that way too - except it invovles husband and kids. Well, good luck tonight and keep the great blogs coming.!!!()&()*^(&*%
