Fall activites and art shows




6 P.M. and CrazyJ is sleeping. It doesn't look promising for me to achieve the elusive full nights sleep. Ahhh...oh well. The blog I've slacked off and ignored in favour of fall art show prep and spending time with my small child gets a new post.
My participation in the local fall art shows is now complete. I managed to complete one new painting this fall. Plus, I have a good start on a few more. Now it time to enjoy the upcoming festivities and come up with a plan for next years show.

Volunteering as the Brighton Arts Council's Curator is keeping me very busy. Luckily, the BAC has a wonderful variety of artists who humour me when I need art right now to fill spaces. And while promoting fellow artists, including myself, I have sold a couple of my paintings. Worthwhile venues to visit in the Brighton area include; the Kingsley Korner Gallery at the Chamber of Commerce and the Library, Lola's Coffee House, Vito's Restaurant, The Independent, the Brighton Inn and the Beauty Reservoir.

Then I started cold felting scarves. For fun and because the boy can help, he likes to spray the wool, the dog and whatever else catches his eye. At least he isn't running around with a paint brush loaded in oil paint. Actually, I felt the need (no pun intended) to create something elegant and original for an upcoming gala at the Four Seasons. Photos of that with dress to follow when the event happens. Now I have a selection of scarves for Christmas gifts as well.
