OK lets try this again.  I tried to post this entry a few nights ago but in my weary state after having been up since 4:30 to take my mom to the airport I hit cancel instead of post.  Thus deleting everything including all of the links, photos and fancy stuff I had put in the entry.

Life has been very busy lately so I have not had as much time to keep up with a lot of the things that I normally do.  I have not had a chance to do Sketchfest or Enchanted Visions, both of which I miss dearly. But I have been busy.  I have gotten my applications in to a few events which I am waiting patiently to hear back from.  Once I do I will be sure to post that information for all.  I have recently licensed my art with Kat’s Magical Patches.  You can now purchase a selection of my artwork along with some of my photography as Iron-on Transfers, Fabric Blocks, and Canvas Collectible ACEOs.

This weekend I will be participating in another live painting event in St Petersburg.  Art on the Bay will be held at the Museum of History.  Here is an article that the Tampa Bay edition of the Examiner.  I have really started to enjoy painting live at these events and I always look forward to doing more. 

Over the past 6 weeks I have been taking an art class each weekend.  The class was believe it or not an oil painting class.  Oil paints are some thing that I have up until now not had any experience oils.  The class taught a specific technique to achieve photo realistic portraits.  I am not yet photo realistic with oils but I do feel that this will be a wonderful tool to add to my artistic world.  The class was taught by Matt Ellrod.  You can view his website Here.

I leave you know with a few pictures.  One is a group photo of our class at the end of the 6 weeks. All holding our paintings, and one of my painting at the end of class.  Enjoy.
