Do You Know Where Your ART Is???

I have to admit I have art stuffed just about everywhere in the house.
And it's not all MINE. One of the delights of blogging is buying art from fellow bloggers. You read their blog, see their work, learn about the process and at some point you have to purchase.


La Cucina

So when I discovered Brian Sylvester at www.inkpunk.blogspot.com was selling these great mini-canvasses, I was smitten!
(okay, I admit that anything with *inkpunk* in the name immediately gets my attention; this from the woman contemplating a Sacred Heart tat....yeeeeaaah!)

I still do not know how Brian does these fine details...omg.....
I went to his blog to buy ONE....okay? One
But then I saw another, and they are affordable....and you know the rest. So in the top photo, his work flanks mine, and the framed piece on the counter is my Michael DeMeng piece. Hey, we have to be in good company, you know? ;-)
Anyway, I want to point you to a very nice post Brian did for all of us who had purchased his art, click HERE and then enjoy some of the myriad of beautiful geometric designs he produces with such finesse. They are amazing!
Oh.
Let me add this.
You could buy one too so that I don't feel so bad about blowing my budget.
It would make the blog-mistress very happy!
And now I am back to straightening fabric, which would not have been a good thing to blog about.....not when there is ART and COLOR!!!

Good Art News!!!


Today I shipped off two boxes of art I had been frantically working on after being accepted into a delightful gallery in Missouri, and the best part is two other bloggers are there also! Silke and Cathy both will have work hanging along with mine and I couldn't be happier! (and I know they are excited too~~check their blogs to take a look-see at their work)
I know the blog has been a bit ignored of late, but I have found that I can only manage so many irons in the fire at once anymore.....LOL! And painting/mixed media always seems to come first, leaving me little oomph at the end of the day.
The piece above is paint, paper, pastel.....a lot of mixed media fun despite the short deadline. Of course, trying to get things to DRY was a bit interesting, to say the least!
So here's to those of us who rose to the occasion and put our art out there, and here is to Kathleen for giving us the opportunity to show!
BRAVA!
All of us..... ;-D
