I wasn't able to enter a couple of shows, but was able to attend one opening. It was for the 3rd Annual Idaho Falls Arts Council Juried Show and it was a great breathe of fresh air after being cooped up for days on end. Was able to see some people from both groups I belong to (Museum Artists at The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho and Colored Pencil Society of America). Its a decent show, pretty typical of last couple of years I've seen, a good dash of traditional and contemporary. A fun spot was a set of collages, of which I can't find the artist's name to link to. Phooey. Hopefully I can find it later.
I've been busy with a fellow face painter (Michelle of Unforgettable Evenings) organizing a mini face painting convention! We started as a small jam but wanted to get people out of the wood work. Hopefully, people will come out and enjoy! I just want to get the creative energy flowing.
I did finish two drawings today. A couple of business card sized pieces for a show at The Willowtree Gallery. The opening is a big fundraiser for Tautphaus Park Zoo, where you will get a chance to purchase the finished product of these two pieces I did.
They ended up being colored and I JUST LOVE THEM! The opening is April 7th and tickets are $20. The show runs later though and all pieces are $65 and all business card size. I'm excited to see it all together! I'm excited I got them done. :)
Its also a double wammy because I'll be offering prints of them at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival later one this month! I'll be my third year there and I'm excited to finally have some tulip pieces to show. They were drawing from pictures I had taken last year. I'll also put them up to purchase online later next week.
Phew! Off to do more! :D
