A Busy Opening Reception

I recently attended the opening reception of the 34th Annual All-Florida Juried Show in Stuart, FL. It was CROWDED, but the energy was high!

I have two pieces in the show. Here I am with Heat Wave.

And that’s Happy Family WAY up high. (My equally short friend and I had quite a chuckle as she took this photo.)

There were two other fiber pieces in the show. This large one was made by Gabriele DiTota and it’s called Synthesis.

On the right was the sister painting to the one shown on the left. I thought it was a really nice arrangement. (I forgot to note the name of the painter.)

This piece, by Christian Feneck, won first place. It’s acrylic paint on glass and wood, with cutouts.

This was my favorite piece: A Moment in the Sun, by Sally Cooper.

It’s a really nice exhibit, with lots of pieces. It runs through February 26th, at the Court House Cultural Center, so take a look if you get the chance.

P.S. If you’re in the area on February 8th or 9th, you can visit Arts Fest, which occurs in the immediate vicinity. (The center is not normally open on the weekend, but it will be for this event.)

    I’m not usually an impulse shopper, but every now and then and I get carried away.  Such was the case on a recent visit to thrift shop.  What should I find, but a huge collection of vintage paper doll books!  There were ones from every era, and even political ones, like the Reagans and Clintons….

  • “Tomato Encore”

    Well, I did it!  I managed to push my brain into abstraction territory and I created this tomato. It’s called Tomato Encore.   I kinda love it.  Partly because of the imagery, and partly because I’m proud of myself for FINALLY working loosely! Here’s a detail shot. I’m continuing to work on some loose experiments,…
