Straight from the easel

Previews promised, and previews received! Here's what's on the easel right now. I'd say it's pretty much done... you'll have to wait until the opening on June 28 to see how it ended up! Now the goal is to do two more not-me portraits this weekend...

New show, new art

Two years in the making, my art show is now just months away. Well, it's not really MY show because my fellow artmaking buddy, Christina Burtner, will also be showing. It's a co-show, really!

Nonetheless, I have been working at full speed to get some art made for this event from 5-8pm on Saturday, June 28 at the Kaewyn Gallery. Yes it's in Bothell, but it's in the cute part of Bothell. The show (up through the month of July) will be worth the trip, and the opening (June 28, just to repeat!) will be one to remember. Not your standard free wine and cheese affair (don't worry wine and cheese fans; we'll have them, but we'll also have more). More details to follow, but mark your calendars now, folks!

In the meanwhile, I'll be posting some little teasers and tidbits, inspirations and perspirations, to provide you with a preview of the grand opening. The first unveiling is the piece above, which I just completed last week.
