Fayetteville Underground First Thursday


Here is what I've got up on the wall in the Fayetteville Underground 'Vault' Gallery. Tomorrow night from 5-8ish is the big First Thursday reception. If you are any where near this area come on down and eat, drink and look at art. Most of the artists will be there either mingling or hanging out in their studios. I hope to see a lot of folks coming through. There is some really great art on the walls, I'm really impressed with my fellow studio artists.
I will be talking scratchboard, (of course) and such...taking names and emails for future Ampersand Art scratchboard classes. I've also been working on setting up an area to do encaustic painting. Not sure exactly what that will all turn out to be. Stay tuned, I'll keep you posted. I'm excited about working with a new material and maybe going in a new direction. Linda does not live only for the dog and monkey show....really!
The weather has been gorgeous here, I can hear the spring peepers outside. All is good in my world, hope the same is true for all of you. We truely are lucky folks here in the US.

Monkey du jour


Monk du jour is a slap dash collage I just knocked together. You can see in the photo nothing on it is even dry yet! It's on a 5"X7" panel which was painted black. Vintage papers and red acrylic. My typical monkey shape and design...

Had a delightful spontaneous afternoon at Jerry's Artarama. They had a last minute encaustic demonstration with a wonderful visiting artist, Gina Adams. Learned that a lot of what I had tried before with this medium was totally wrong...including ventilation and heating up toxic things. Oh well, hope I haven't done too much damage to my lungs. Soon, of course, I will do an encaustic monkey.

Still uncharacteristically cool here in Austin. Blissful time before the hellish heat!
