Live and unplugged
Hi.
Last weekend two friends and I had a booth at the local Christmas Craft and Fine Art Show. One lady had jewelry, one had stained glass and I had portraits and still lives (and one landscape). Since the sponsors were really trying to promote the Fine Art end of the spectrum, they offered us free space and a good location if I would demo some painting. I had been so busy in the two weeks prior to the show trying to repaint every single thing I had ever produced that I didn't have much prepared for a demo. For the whole first morning I forgot how to paint at all. By after-lunch-time I dragged my supplies out and got started on this 9 x 12" canvas. I had to justify our extra space and heck, if you're going to crash and burn it might as well be during your initial public offering. This took between 3 and 4 hours the first day and about half an hour (drawn out for effect) the second. It was a bit of a hit, as judged by the painted wooden Santa crowd. Now you can be the judge!
Thanks, Janet
