Hello Bloglandia! If you've been wondering where Finn McSpool has been lately, well, he's been in the exact same place at me: Stuck at home with no prospects for travel for a very, very long time thanks to the moronic... [very long rant redacted in exchange for...] Okay, I won't get into the ridiculous embarrassment … Continue reading Finn McSpool Embarks on a Mini-Escape
Decorating Another Wall with My Art
I know I am LOOOOONG overdue for a Sketchbook Show Off, but other news keeps getting in the way, and even my news has gotten in the way of my news. Take for example, my latest art show that went up in May. You didn't even know about it did you? Luckily, I'm dedicating this … Continue reading Decorating Another Wall with My Art
A Double Dose of the Blues
Blue ribbons, that is! As loyal readers may recall, a few weeks ago I hauled my artwork off to the Clackamas County Fair to be scrutinized and judged along with the hogs, homemade aprons, and odd vegetables (and hogs who eat odd vegetables while wearing homemade aprons). Although not as awesome as a hog in … Continue reading A Double Dose of the Blues
An Encore Art Performance!
This week I learned that sometimes it pays to pause before hitting Delete when checking my email. As you may remember, I recently wrapped up my first solo art show with the Clackamas County Arts Alliance’s 2016 Artist Exhibit Program (a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to see it, by the way). As … Continue reading An Encore Art Performance!
All’s Fair in Art and War
Or should I say, "All's County Fair in Art and War?" Yep, it's time again for the Clackamas County Fair, and although I could have entered the Weird Vegetable competition with my cucumber that recently grew into my door frame, I've decided to leave the odd produce to the farmers and stick with the art … Continue reading All’s Fair in Art and War
My Artwork Has Been Selected for AEP!
Last night my iPad went "ping." No, it wasn't playing the Birth in the First World scene from Monty Python's Meaning of Life (see below if you have no idea what I'm talking about); it was an email. And this was the first sentence of the email that had me dancing around the kitchen going, … Continue reading My Artwork Has Been Selected for AEP!
My (County) Fair Lady
Happy Friday Everyone! As you may remember, earlier this month I took a chance and submitted a few of my colored pencil drawings (paintings? never sure which term to use) to the county fair. If you don't remember, you can read all the gory details in my post "It's No Prize Hog, But..." Well, it … Continue reading My (County) Fair Lady
It’s No Prize Hog, But…
Happy Friday Everyone (or Saturday for those of you who've climbed over the International Date Line)! Today's post is going to be a bit short because I'm heading off to the fair. No, I haven't suddenly taken up hog farming (much to my husband's disappointment) and I haven't joined up with the carnies. Instead, I'm … Continue reading It’s No Prize Hog, But…
