in the studio

This week...I've been busy! I began the week working on painting and in the middle I decided to do some collages.

I was taking part in a #5dayart challenge on facebook and got renominated/challenged the day I finished so I am redoing the challenge on my art page - with all new art. I finish tomorrow, but I agreed to continue with three new pieces a day for next week, too. (adds what have I done? to the labels on this week's blog post)

1.16.15  10" x 10"

1.16.15  10" x 10"

1.16.15  4" x 6"

I have been having a great time making these. I'm having so much fun. They are being really well received (which is always nice!) and I feel really focused and energized.

1.17.15  5" x 7"

1.17.15  5" x 7"

1.17.15  5" x 7"

I really like the 5" x 7" size and I think I'll be sticking with that for a while (minus the postcard swap and the #twitterartexhibit)

Out of the studio... Yesterday was the closing reception for the SLAC Anniversary show at Paul Henry's Art Gallery. The lovely woman who bought my painting waiting on a change was there and I got to thank her in person. And, of course, tons of local art friends were there, too.
Next week: a lot more work!

I started a new blog, which will be more lifestyle focused and less art focused. Stop by there if you want to get to know me a bit better outside of the studio: So Essential.

A blog. yay?

I decided I finally need to get my social media ducks in a row. Really I've been putting this off for...well, it's time to just give in or give up or jump in or something. I've succumbed.

You can now follow me on twitter @DawnDraws, and on facebook. Will it be too much of a good thing? Who knows! I'm already feeling the pressure to be extra witty.
