Art Plunge

See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil (my friends Angelica and Marstar on each side) July has been PACKED and I mean JAM PACKED with things that needed to get done, hurdles that needed to be jumped and lots of bad news. And some good stuff too. A quick synopsis of my month- opened the Colorimetry show at WAAS Gallery...that was my big Herculean task of my life. I worked so hard putting that together, creating for it up to the very last minute, sinking so much money into supplies and was relieved when it finally opened (although a lot of my friends didn't show, the ones who DID get special gold stars in my book). For the record the art show is still up- until August 9th in fact and it would be awesome and special to me if you went and checked it out. Theres nothing worse than spending almost a year of your life making something beautiful to put into the world and no one even going to see it. : /  The gallery hours are Thurs, Fri, Sat 12-4pm at WAAS GALLERY 2722 Logan S...

COLORIMETRY at WAAS GALLERY opens tonight! So it's been 6 months of hard labor getting ready for this very night. It used to seem so far away....and now it's here. Unbelievable. There has been so much stress along the way, falling into bad health and horrible pain, wondering if I was going to pull this off with dwindling funds. At one point I had $7 to my name and no supplies. My cat almost died and I had to pay an outrageous amount to bring her back to life. A giant handful of trips to the hospital and doctors office (still ongoing) to help get my health back on track. Financial disaster as I am currently being evicted from my house. And that's not even scratching the surface of spending most waking hours in the studio painting, painting, painting, painting, painting. Having to give up so much just to make it happen and wondering if anyone is even going to collect something. You take that chance and risk and just HOPE it will all turn out wonderful in the end. So ma...

detail of Coccinillidae on view at WAAS GALLERY Yesterday was a full day of hustle and bustle- getting the pieces up to WAAS Gallery for the install. Some of the pieces were still being framed so a late evening trip to pick them up in North Richland Hills and then back to WAAS to drop them off was how I finished my day yesterday. Monday  I can get to work hanging them. Right now I'm sitting in my studio that is now bare of rainbow-tastic colors, dripping trees, weird bugs and birds and crazy color swirls. Back to boring white walls and another blank white canvas staring at me. The canvas is for the Red Bull Show that's coming up quick- all the artists are submitting one piece to be on exhibit during the event. And I thought I was done painting! NOPE! It feels very strange to finally have all the painting work done for the show, this has been my life since the beginning of the New Year really. This has been a stressful undertaking, putting all my commission work on ho...
