I Listened Again

"Chillin' Out", Pastel, 8"x8"

Previously On May 7, 2017, I posted a blog on "It Pays to Follow That Inner Spirit".  Well, it happened again!  Just about three weeks ago I made plans to enter "The Three Alpacateers" in an upcoming show at New Braunfels Art League Gallery.  Two days before submission day, I was looking at the paintings I had hanging in my art show room, when "Chillin' Out" caught my eye.  The theme of the show is "Artoberfest"(i.e. Octoberfest).  Yes, I felt, I should enter this, also--the praying mantis is sitting on a beer bottle.

Great News!!  Not only did it receive an Honorable Mention, it was also purchased as the show started.  Needless to say--I did a happy dance!!  The "Artoberfest" will be showing Oct. 5 - Nov. 13, 2017, at the New Braunfels Art League Gallery, New Braunfels, Texas.  

Thanks for reading.

You Never Know...

...who you will meet at a party?  :)

"Chillin Out", Pastel, 8"x8"

My second cousin, Sharra, captured the photo of this critter, a couple of years ago, while we were sitting outside eating at a restaurant, in Marble Falls, Tx..  We were having our annual Lewis women's reunion.  Talk about good timing!  The minute she showed it to me, I asked if I could paint it.

It was a fun piece to paint and I will be showing it with my collection, Runaway Art.  My Runaway Art paintings are being shown at Grahamstock Glass Gifts & Gallery, in Wimberley, Tx..  www.GrahamstockGlass.com
