Have you heard of the wonderful 'Painting A Day' idea, where one creates and completes a small painting, on as regular a basis as possible? Very beneficial for honing skills and focus, besides a fun
concept! This year, it feels as though I'm on the 'Painting A Quarter' program, due to family focus....
ah well....at least everything's there ready and waiting when time allows, and I refuse to get frustrated!!
An excellent local Idaho 'Painter A Day' is Mary Maxam, and her website and blog are well worth a visit.
Coming in April:
- Friday, 1 April and Saturday 2 April I will be performing traditional Scottish tunes with drummer Todd
Neel and fiddler Lorna Woelfel at Unity Church's Mardi Gras Variety Show, 7pm both nights.
- Friday, 8 April, noon-7:30pm and Saturday 9 April 10am - 7pm.....I will be exhibiting current paintings
(and talking about Scotland with anyone interested!!), along with cards and prints in the 11th Annual Artist Showcase by the Coeur d'Alene Art Association. We will be at the CDA Resort Plaza Shops, 2nd and Sherman downtown. Forty two artists are participating, and it's always a lovely event, and a great opportunity to meet interesting, creative people, who might happen to be your neighbour! I will be demonstrating part of the day on Saturday.
- 22 April - 31 May.....I will be on holiday in Scotland - gathering inspiration, and hopefully dipping into some of the inviting tubes of paint that are sitting around the studio saying 'squeeze me!'.....
