Hello World, are you still out there?
I can't imagine sitting idle for an entire year but that is what I had let this blog site do! Sometimes my good intentions are voiced but then I tell myself that I'm too busy at that moment to do anything. So let me bring this blog up to date!
I am still affiliated with Art Du Jour Gallery and busier than ever. For the last year and a half I have been acting as Assistant Director of the Gallery. So the responsibilities became more urgent sense there is no paid staff working in the Gallery. We coordinate all our exhibits and incorporate the artwork of 21 artist in
this co-op gallery.
Besides the gallery duties, I am painting, teaching classes, and taking workshops and participating in a weekly pastel class
with nationally known pastel artist, Richard McKinley. I am so pleased and excited to be spending all my spare time painting and doing pastels!
The photo below is from a workshop I just completed this past week on painting "Nocturnal Pastels" or as the workshop leader, Christine Ivers, called "painting on the dark side".
