looped lark in red

July 21, 2008

We had a great time at the opening at artstream on Friday night, despite a really scary and trying drive up there through much traffic and torrential rain!  It was so nice to see Susan again and to meet many women artists from blogland in person at long last.  I do love the internet for connecting me with you all.

Here are some pictures from the evening:

Me and Lisa Congdon!  She is just as excellent as you’ve imagined.

And Charlie meeting Lisa Solomon.  The show was amazing to see in person.  It was striking to see Lisa C.’s work hung in such as different way than it usually is – spread out horizontally along big wide gallery walls.  And then juxtaposed with Lisa S.’s subtle and careful compositions. Wow.  Well worth the stressful drive for sure.

I finished this red looped lark today

and she is currently listed in my shop, along with some older work that has just recently come back to me including one of my very favorite mixed media pieces, The City.

I’m still thinking and drawing and thinking some more about what to make for the Teeny Tiny Art Show.  Hmmm.

    You are so talented! Your birdies always cheer me up when I’m down and make a great day even better. I’m glad you take time to blog so others far away can share fun.
