The January session of Art-Startz brought a welcome dash of color to an otherwise gray day. Sadly, snow dictated that we cancel the November and February sessions, but spring is coming. Everyone was asked to bring 3 simple-shaped objects that they would find interesting to paint. I brought a few of my own favorite things as well. Already I think they have seen the positive effect of filling the whole picture plane, varying the size of the shapes and thinking about foreground and backgrounds. So fun.
I am on the edge of a flurry of creativity. Several wholesale card orders, the spring Antique and Craft fair in Lynden where Christa Warren will include my prints in her lovely display from her shop, Surroundings. The Bellingham Farmer's Market is only about 6 weeks away for me and I have also committed to 5 large original paintings! I'm honored to be asked. Biting off more than I can chew? Time will tell. But hey, life is short and anything worth doing is worth overdoing. I think Mae West said that.
