Hello Art fans! It has been a while since we have chatted! I want to start off by sharing with you a really cool opportunity that came my way from Kunst Art in Belgium. They have a very cool website called Start Looking featuring artist’s videos and interviews, and they asked if my video from my show at Wug Laku’s Studio & Garage could be included! Of course I was very excited and happy to oblige! You can click HERE for the link to my video. While you are there be sure to check out the site…it is very cool! I love thinking I’m on an artist site right along side Chuck Close and Francis Bacon!!

Let’s see…what next. Ah Yes! I was invited to attend an Artist’s Salon at the beautiful studio of Artist Elle Siskind. About six artists got together and we spent an afternoon chatting about art and reviewing each other’s work in progress for critique and input. It was awesome! I took a painting that I had been struggling with, as well as a painting sketch for a new painting. I got terrific feedback and know now exactly what I need to do to get the struggling painting back on track. Sometimes I get so close, and spend so much time on a painting that I forget to step back and really SEE it. I learned first and foremost – don’t forget to breathe, step back and LOOK at what I am doing. Oh that poor canvas…but no worries…I’ll fix it! The biggest fun for me was to be able to ‘talk art’ with a group of people with like interests. This made for a very enjoyable afternoon for me!

And finally, I went to a Dr. Sketchy’s event that was held in Broadripple. Those events are always so much fun! Some of you may remember my interview with the founder of the Indianapolis Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School. For those of you who would like a little nudge reminder, or for those of you new to my blog you can listen to that interview below. Great time had by all, and it is so much fun to work from live models. Plus, the Burlesque troop really goes out of their way with costumes, themes and in keeping the evening lively! 

So, as you can see I have been keeping myself busy! (Which is good…I can’t get myself into too much trouble that way!) In-between I am of course working in studio and keeping things very messy there. As usual, I have very much enjoyed all of your comments and e-mails. Do keep them coming!  Until next time, Rock on!
