I have been busy finishing stuff.  I love to start things and to play with images and layers and paints and then leave it in a pile or drawer or box.  So this show at the Stetson Gallery has motivted me to finish several small prints  and cards and mixed media pieces.  I made some prints of several mixed media pieces that I have in the show.  so though some of this has been frustrating, I feel that I have made some good progress.  I am so ready for the spring planting rush to be finished.  I need more time in the studio and less time on the farm!  Enjoy!

Last night my artists way group gathered to install our first exhibit together at the Stetson Gallery, Marblehead, MA.

We are all express our creativity in different mediums.  And yet the show is pulling itself together. We are painters, printmakers, collage artists, photographers, design specialists and jewerly makers.

We hope to have a fun grand opening on sunday, June 13th 12 to 2PM.

I am happy to share that last night I joined the open forum for artists @ the Essex Art Center.  Cathy McLaurin facillitated the group. We brain stormed for ideas of how we could support and encourage each other in our individual artistic endeavors.  I am very excited about the possiblities of this group.

I am priming and gluing things tonight.  I am going to do 20  seven inch square boxes.  I started the collages on paper so I am gluing a few of them to the boxes and priming some other.  Found a couple more interesting books today while browsing at Michaels Craft store.  Acrylic Revolution: New Tricks and Techniques for Working with the World’s Most Versatile Medium (Spiral-bound) and Rethinking Acrylic: Radical Solutions For Exploiting The World’s Most Versatile Medium (Spiral-bound).  I am interested in learning more about how to use the different acrylic mediums.

I found a somerset magazine Artful blogging  Interesting too.
