Art Reception at the MAC Show

Join us at the Art Reception

Today is the Spokane Watercolor Society’s awards ceremony and reception at the Museum of Art and Culture downtown from 1-3pm. Michael Holter will be there with some of his art. Please come and see some fabulous art and visit with all the artists.

We just finished a great workshop with our invited artist, Michael Holter at the Spokane Art Supply classroom. It was 4 days crammed full of a massive amount of great learning. I am hoping that the lessons learned from him will enable me to improve my own artwork in the near future. My brain is almost at over full levels right now. Come and see our art and even come see some of Holter’s original art too.

Seven Hummingbirds at MAC

7 Hummingbirds J1516. 22″w x 30″h watercolor on 300lb. paper.

Seven Hummingbirds at MAC. I entered the SWS Spokane Watercolor Society Juried show at the NWMAC Northwest Museum in downtown Spokane WA. This show is now taken down and been updated with more SWS member art and it is really worth a trip down there to see.

This membership show will be up through the weekend after Thanksgiving and the admission is free. The museum has a “Titanic Artifact” exhibit that is quite phenomenal. I was checking out their site and noticed that you can purchase NWMAC year passes that are really quite affordable when you consider being able to go see any exhibit anytime you feel like it. Art is good for the whole family’s soul. Here are the show goodies on my dining room table.

Won a $60 prize from Creative Catalyst Productions, Inc. –
The Creative Alliance in Oregon for my entry into the Spokane Watercolor Society Juried Show 2017. I will be checking out the videos today… “Learn Art Anywhere With Confidence” is their heading on the site.

One of the SWS members had laid a copy of The Inlander, October 5-11, 2017 on the table with a paperclip showing page 31 (for me to see when I came in to do my volunteer hours). I love the way artists take care of each other. I am so lucky to be a part of this talented group! The Inlander has a picture of my painting entitled “Seven Hummingbirds J1516” at the top of their article entitled “A Fall Feast for the Senses”, by Chey Scott.

Cool huh? I would never have noticed cause I don’t always get a copy. It makes me feel great.

What Did I Do for Halloween

What did I do for Halloween?

I dressed up as an old Cajun hick needing real thick glasses and wearing my shawl with my Mardi Gras beads. My table had a small pumpkin we grew and there was some taffy for visitors to snack on.

I sat with my tablecloth embroidering hummingbirds at the MAC Museum on Halloween (yesterday). I think more people came over and showed interest in the hummingbird tablecloth I was embroidering, than in the art on the walls, or, maybe it was just the candy. The biggest surprise was that I had put way too much makeup and stuff in my hair messing it all up for my old Cajun lady costume, and one lady said she liked my hairstyle. That is pretty bad when you try to make yourself look a real mess, and someone mistakes it for your style. Really?

I was the “docent” (babysitter) all day for the Spokane Watercolor Society Show art. This show is up through the weekend after Thanksgiving. There are some real beauties, and the admission is free.
