Creative Collections

I came up with the following collections.

Covid-19...definitely another blow artistically.

It's hitting me again how tough these last couple years have been for me artistically.  Losing so many original paintings, my entire studio, as well as basic structure to daily function that greatly effects my artistic energy and forward movement because of the fire...it's feeling a bit like I'm trying to swim with my legs tied up.  This Covid-19 pandemic feels like at least an arm (if not most of my fingers) are also fettered.  Sigh.

I can no longer promote/sell/display my artwork publicly, not being able to even access some of it.

I can no longer network face to face, attend conferences, do photo shoots, or paint outside.

Finances are tight and so people are not going to be interested in buying artwork.

So what's my point?  I will continue on!  Time to stop writing about all the new realities, and go pick up my brush.  Even if with only 2 fingers and no (figurative) legs to stand on.

Creative Collections

I am taking a class in creative collections with Victoria Johnson.  These are some of my first homework assignments.  It is definitely pushing me to explore areas and keep engaged creatively.

After taking a Pinterest Page...

I came up with a palette of colors that I love!

Awards and Such

It is always such an honor to win awards as an artist.  I entered 6 paintings in a local competition a couple of years ago, and won numerous awards.  The best part was that the fire occurred while the paintings were still displayed, and so they did not burn in the fire that destroyed so much.  These are some of the ribbons....2 First Place, 3 Best of Division, and...1 BEST OF SHOW!  Woot woot!

I also won in the National Arts Program with this oil painting, and got to fist bump the mayor's fist (because of the coronavirus...no shaking hands).  The monetary award was such a joy as I had decided to donate whatever I received to the Harvester's Orphanages in South Sudan.  Praising God!
