I'm workin'

BACK TO WORK

Man, this has been a different year for me.

A new granddaughter (happy happy happy)

The loss of a good friend (so sad)

My favorite cousin and traveling buddy moving away (sad too)

BUT - I am working on the Retro Challenge now and I am

getting in the groove.

For those of you who don't know, the Retro Challenge 

started on March 1, 2014, and will culminate with a huge exhibition on 

Friday, September 26, at Weems Gallery Uptown.

It's my old-school retro-style acrylic/ink on gallery wrap canvas.

The kind of work I don't do anymore, except for people who request it.

It's 150 8x8 and 8x10 paintings for $150 each.

It's 50 hand-painted ornaments for $40 each.

It's 25 larger paintings priced accordingly.

It's a big artist's reception, music, food, and good times!

So, this is how it works:

You watch the paintings as they are posted here.

You find one (or several) that you like and do one of the following:

Email the gallery at weems@weemsgallery.com or Dee at dshadowtail@aol.com

or

Call the gallery at 505-293-6133 or Dee at 505-792-1030

and

Give your painting titles, numbers, and payment information.

On opening night, if no one else chooses your painting, it's yours for $150.

If two or more people want the same painting, a name will be drawn out of a hat.

After all multiples are sold, you may go and remove the painting you want from the wall.

Ornaments and larger paintings may be purchased on opening night.

 This is a larger painting I am starting today.

It's 36x36" gallery wrap canvas and will be a landscape of forest trees.

These are ornaments waiting for painting.

I will show progress on these so you can see how they are created.

They are actually more detailed than some paintings and tedious to boot.

Well worth $40!

i still haven't taken any day trips - and I am itching.

I'm thinking possibly next week, so stay tuned.
