Here is the postcard that I designed to send out to friends and family for a Meet and Greet at Framations Gallery.

Today was the reception for the Oak Leaf Fall Show, my parents were there to see me get two awards – a Honorable Mention in the painting category for Blue Arches, and Second Place in the miscellaneous category for Queen of Hearts. I don’t agree with some of the judges picks, but it couldn’t have been easy to make a decision among such wonderful artwork. For example my husband’s favorite out of the whole show (which sadly wasn’t mine) only received an Honorable Mention when I was sure it would get Best of Show or First Place hands down.

The show will be running through the first week of October, right around the time I should hear back from Art St. Louis regarding my submission to their XXIII Show.

Today I mailed off my submission to Art St. Louis (three days early) consisting of Swan, Curious, Christmas, Midnight, and Chivalry; and I should know in October if any of them have been accepted. I’ve made minor changes to Swan, Curious, and Midnight since I last posted images of them. When I get a chance I’ll upload the new pictures.

I volunteered for a few hours for the receiving for the Oak Leaf Fall Show at the St. Peters Community Art Center, which allowed me a sneak preview of the show; with over 80 submissions I have a lot of stiff competition. I think this is the biggest show I’ve seen for Oak Leaf since I joined, there is a ton of diversity and variety. This is going to be a great show; if anyone is interested the reception is this Saturday from 1pm-3pm.

Below are some of the pieces I’ve been working on. I’m not quite happy with ‘Rome’, it needs something to tie it all together, I’m just not sure what yet. ‘Swan’ could be done, but I may decide to go back in… it’s so hard to pronounce things finished when there are things that you aren’t quite sure about… which is always. Lastly, ‘Curious’ is nearly done, I have some work to do drawing everything together, but it shouldn’t take long. Hopefully that wont prove to be my famous last words.

I’m thinking to enter Blue Arches’. ‘Queen of Hearts,’ and ‘Direction’ in the Oak Leaf Show; and for Art St. Louis ‘Curious,’ ‘Swan,’ and something else.. not sure.

‘Rome’

‘Swan’
