May…

By mazzyblue | Published May 5, 2010

Wow…it is already May!!!  Time has just flown by like crazy and here I find my myself in the midst of  many projects. I find myself wishing for more hours in the day:)


A lot going on this week here in the Studio.  I have a commissioned piece that is in it’s final stages. Also a book that is almost finished, just a few more illustrations that I wanted to tweak  and it will be done….I also have the Gallery Walk that my art will be in this Friday.  I think I can….. I think I can….I think I can….Choo Choo!!! LOL:)


Also working to get our local art guild hopefully up and running with an actual gallery space so that they can have a permanent interface with the public. I will be working on a proposal for our membership to look over in this month meeting.  It’s going to be great when we get it up and running…not only for our artists but also for the community!!!


Ok well I have to get back into the studio but I wanted to share with you one of my latest little paintings:) She is called “Little Omie with Butterfly”

I was listening in the studio  to some old music that I grew up with hearing my family play, old folk songs and such. There is an old Doc Watson song called “Little Omie Wise” and it’s a tragically sad song but I thought of this Omie and what a beautiful girl she must have been. So i painted and I painted…and when I was done I had this painting. Now I knew the painting was inspired by the music and that it was Omie but decided to ask a few friends what name called to them….and Francesca was one and I thought ok…maybe…but then late last night as I was going over the  a re-shoot  photos for this piece I decided that it must be named “Little Omie with Butterfly”:)


If you happen to be in the area on Friday and would like to see her up close then come on down to the Spring Gallery Walk in old town Manassas bc she is scheduled to be there for her debut.  If not then no worries you can take a look at her online in my Etsy shop and claim her as your very own!!!


~Cheers~
