Lounging in the Grass & Sonterra Bazaar

My latest pet portrait wedding present  commissioned by my niece. I normally don't do the full dog but I like this one with the highlights in the grass. 
  Don't forget the Sonterra Bazaar on Friday from 10 to 3:00!  There are over 60 vendors, so come on out!
 I'm offering a 15% discount to anyone that orders a pet portrait within this next week!  Time is running out for Christmas delivery so order now!
  Have a wonderful rest of the week!

Two More Paintings

Just finished these two. Forgot to take a picture of the rooster before I framed it, but it's framed with museum glass which has no glare...so you can still see it pretty well.  What should I name it?  "I'm outta here!"  or "Don't look back?"

The other one is Lexie...pet portrait for Christmas.

I hope to see you all at the Sonterra Holiday Bazaar Nov. 13!  It's open to all so come on by.
This Sat. is Trinity which is mostly for alumni and family/friends.      Have a wonderful week! Can't beat this weather in San Antonio!

Two Upcoming Shows..This Sat at TU and Friday at Sonterra

Trinity University is having an Artisan's Show from 11:30 to 1:30, Nov.7, off Shook Ave.
There are quite a few artisans showing.  I will  have some of these pendants (if they arrive on time), cards, prints and paintings for sale. Hopefully it will be a beautiful day to browse and buy.

 Then, next Friday, Nov.13, from 10 to 3:00 at Sonterra, I will be showing in the Sonterra Holiday  Bazaar.  It's open to the public and there will be lots of wonderful vendors!  Come by! It's always a great Bazaar!

Trinity Artisan's Show November 7!

Come on out for the Trinity Artisan's Show Nov. 7 from 11:30 to 1:00!  There will be all different kinds of art and lots of fun seeing people! I will be selling pastel paintings, cards and prints.
  Hope to see you there!

New Pet Portrait

I started this portrait this summer, and finally finished it!  The move in August/September slowed my painting down!!
This was a commission from the Trinity Artisans Show last October.  It's a Christmas gift for her mother. 
 The next Trinity show is Nov. 7 from 11:30 to 1:30.  Anyone is welcome to come!
 Remember Christmas is right around  the corner! 

Inspire's On Fire Fine Art Gala

Wow! It's been a long time since my last post! I've been in the middle of an almost 2 month move to the Texas Hill Country! Things are finally starting to settle down and I can get my life back!

The Inspire Fine Art Center had their awards reception for emerging artists last night. I had entered two paintings back in July....Feed Me (two giraffes) and Barnyard Rooster. I was surprised and delighted to win the "Judge's Award" for my Barnyard Rooster! What a thrill! I am now inspired to get back to painting!

Schertz ArtZ 09 !

The Schertz ArtZ '09 was AWESOME! Walking down the hallway lined with art, into the beautifully decorated room, seeing the Mime with a table around her, and all the people mingling, drinking wine, eating and looking at art on all the walks took my breath away! What a show! Congratulations and thanks to Stella who organized it all and all the Schertz people who assisted. I'm attaching a few pictures.
