Artists Submit Entries: Saturday, a day artists are submitting entries for the Food, Farm & Foliage Exhibit sponsored by the Holly Branch of the American Pen Women (of which I am Pres). Waiting for the entries at the Delaware Agricultural Museum and talking with fellow artist members is always special. Subject matter like our latest framing nightmare, and will our paintings dry in time is the buzz. The essence of being with other artists and discussing where we create and how we create is good for the creative soul. Meeting the artists submitting their entries does make all the work of coordinating an exhibit worthwhile. Answering questions about pricing their and framing their pieces along with boosting the self-confidence of the new artist is a very worthwhile part of supporting creativity. And when an artist thanks you for organizing such an exhibit that the public can enter. I am amazingly humble. Thanks to them for wanting to be a part of this creative world.
Time to Finish: It is another great day of sunshine and as I was inside the museum's South Gallery most of the day. To soak up the sunshine I carted all my paints, tabletop easel and supplies upstair to the porch. Wow, natural sunlight to paint by. How good is that? So I worked and worked to almost finish the painting, "Vegetables on a Windowsill". It is looking pretty good. Stay tuned!
The Framing, Part 1: I usually frame my paintings and matted prints with gold finished gallery frames which is sort of a trade mark. 2 weeks ago while walking Winston, I noticed a wonderful large barnboard frame appeared by a neighbor's home for trash pick up. I went back and carried it home to add to my frame collection. I new my husband, the magnificent wordworker, could use it to make a frame or two. Last week I asked nicely if he could infact cut it down and make a frame for one of the paintings I have been working on with a deadline he could handle. Stay tuned!
Tomorrow's Dessert: My husband has asked his daughter over for Sunday dinner and a movie. (Maybe they will watch Julia & Julie.) My chef is preparing: BrocaelI with all natural ingredients. I volunteered to handle dessert. Searching through my many recipes as well as on-line I though a light carrot cake would work. Light because I have been indulging in too much yummy food lately. The recipe calls for carrot juice in addition to grated carrots. A great purpose for the my juicer appliance used only twice in 5 years Here is the Weight Watchers recipe and image of my creation of Weight Watchers Carrot Cake with a Lemon Glaze:
