Angry Birds

 Here are some photos of recent projects.  I haven't heard from OPAL to which I submitted "Big Bed Painting" among others.  I'm assuming this is a rejection since it has been two weeks.  I'm glad that I tried, and maybe I will again in the spring. It would be nice to have feedback, though.  Applying was on my list of goals for the year.  There's satisfaction in crossing it off. 

I've completed 3 of 4 angry bird paintings.  I've based this series on the newest batch of bird ornaments which I've forgotten to photo (oops).  For some reason the whimsy that I feel in making the birds was lost in painting these feather fellows.  I think the darkness I'm feeling inside has crept onto the canvas.  At any rate as my friend and I were saying today "it is what it is".  I have one more to complete and then on to some soft sculptures and block printing/stamping.  Can it all be done in a week?

Upcoming Show Info

I have a new camera!  I decided to post-pone getting a smart phone for now and opted for a better than a point and shoot camera.  I took the photos above in low light with no flash.  I can't wait to see what day light reveals!

I'm working busily on stock for upcoming shows:  9-1 Dec. 8th at Irving Elementary School in Oak Park and 11-4 Dec. 9th at Nido Studio in Aurora.  Let me know if you need more specifics.

I'll have bird ornaments, paintings, prints, paper goods, and new softies!  More pics and details to come. . .
