Indigo Street Studio happenings

-
So many things are happening this week.I did get accepted into the Shemer Arizona Arts Festival (yay!!), so I've been been very busy preparing for the show. I ordered (and received) metal grid display panels, shopping bags for customers, customized bookmarks for giveaways, plus many more items. I'm hopeful that I'll be ready for the weekend. The show is this weekend, November 4 & 5, from 10a-4p in Scottsdale at the Shemer Art Center. In the midst of all this, I've made two trips, one to see my daughter and her husband in Connecticut and the second to see my parents and celebrate my father's 86th birthday. It's been busy, to say the least!!! This is a photo of the painting I created for my daughter Maria and her husband Alex in their apartment in CT.

Art Classes Start Tomorrow

...and frankly, I'm petrified. I will be teaching 3 classes this semester. Two I've done for the past 2 years: Art of the Masters- an elementary art class and Watercolor for high schoolers. Those, I expect, will go well. The third and newest class is acrylic painting with middle schoolers. I will have 8 students, 2 more than I should have taken and we are the last class of the day. I sure hope they have fun and learn something in the process. Let the games begin (or the painting begin...). More later.

All of the students wanted to do secondary prints -color on color. I think the results were great and they all enjoyed the process.

Working on a commission piece for a friend. This pineapple painting has been popular over the past few years. I love working with watercolor!First I lay down a base of yellow and then build up the colors from there. I bought quinacridone gold last year and have just now begun using it. It's beautiful. Anyway, here's my progress so far.
