Fred Graff Workshop and farewell to Honey Biz

almost finished painting - 'Blooms in the Sun'

The Winds show is up through May 2014!  I will be swapping out paintings occasionally as they sell or when I finish one I'd like to share.  The piece above is now the Fairborn Art Association show, hanging through May 19.

I'm working on new pieces- mostly drawing from my archives of photos...Last night, I 'surrendered' the painting "Honey Biz" to it's new owner.  I know he will treasure it but I miss it already.  He bought it on layaway - a monthly payment.  That enabled me to put it in the Western Ohio Watercolor show where it won a ribbon...and hang it in my own house for another 2 months...

On to the next adventure in painting, right?  In a week, I will be in a workshop  Fred Graff AWS. NWS TWSA -  all organizations that I intend to belong to one day.  I've taken a Plein-air workshop with Fred - enjoyed it immensely!  Can't wait!!!

'Daff-0-Down Dilly'  before the framing
$300.00   16x20 framed - sold

How to create a card that elicits the enormous love we wish to express from afar for our 'little' girl who is turning 18 - in France?  I'm sure she will be surrounded by fun and exciting meals, activities, friends...she will celebrate with a cake, perhaps...un gateau d'anniversaire?

Here's a wee digital drawing scattered throughout with hearts and flowers...what I truly want to do is hug her and kiss her cheek - wish her well as she enters the double bind of being an adult-freedom and responsibility

 Keep your love of life and all things joyful - keep your inner child alive...

Watercolors - Color and Light

I am in the midst of framing up my work for an exhibit at the Winds Cafe in Yellow Springs - and cutting up my fingers which interferes with a pristine matt, etc - oh la vache....But - I will persevere

  So many people have contributed flowers to the collaborative canvas - Garden of Hope - that will hang in the exhibit.  Some send tiny notes about who they are dedicating their flower to, some write on the back, some send it simply with love.  The flowers each represent someone else who has fought cancer.  The overall project is dedicated to Vanessa.  A few of Vanessa's art pieces will hang at the Winds also.  I will give 20 percent of art sales to Dayton Children's Hospital and all donations if people contribute with their flower, etc. Send me a flower if you wish or make one at the reception.

'Watercolors - Color and Light' - Libby Rudolf  
will hang at the Winds Cafe in YS March 11 through April.

Reception - Sunday, March 30, 4-6pm.  Hope you can come!
