As appreciation to Joe Amato and Andrea Donten for hosting the United Way fundraising event in September, I've been commissioned to make a scarf for Andrea. A different Andrea suggested I twist the two scarves together to make a cool belt which is shown above..
Twins Dawn and Donna gave their mom a special birthday surprise by taking her for the day. The neat thing Trish didn't know where she was going and lucky for me... the first stop was a two hour art fest where they worked on collage pieces. Afterwards they were taking her to see Eat, Pray, Love and then probably after seeing that movie a feast of Italian food!
Dawn recently had a book published I Know When to Stay Quiet due in October. Donna did the photograph for the book cover. Needless to say, Trish is one proud Mom. : )
There's something about white and light color flowers against the blue summer sky that always inspires me to paint on charmeuse silk - 'the Cadillac of silks'.
Earl and I are teaching painting at Arts Alive for the month of July. We have 16 high school students who are working very hard gearing up for an big gallery show at the Scranton Cultural Center July 30 starting at 5:30 followed by a performance.
My niece came over and took this shot of me working in the studio - she's 6 ft - hence the 'birds eye view'. I delivered the works to Art Works today - First Friday in Scranton is going to be rockin' as Nikki Moser has a great exhibition at AFA. It'll be a great night to get out and about and see some ART!!
