Love and Art.

Friday, July 1, 2011 / 38 comments

I am so happy for the long weekend! Happy 4th of July! I need to do some painting and I think we might be going strawberry picking and enjoying some sunshine. :) What are you up to this weekend?

Tonight I have an opening with my paintings up at the Love Art Gallery for the month of July. I have to say the owners are some of the sweetest people I have ever met. This is my first show in this area of town- so I am super excited! So if you are in the Portland area come by and see me for the opening. :)

PS: What do you think of my new bangs? I thought I needed them for summer time.

I love the bangs ... they'll certainly be the perfect style for strawberry picking and warm days.; July 1, 2011 at 8:51 PM
a said...: your first art show, oh my! i can just imagine how excited (perhaps a little nervous as well, i would be!) for you. i love paintings done on wood pieces. the texture that shows through the paint is such a cool effect. i've never painted with oil paints, but it's definitely something i have to try. it's been over a year and a half since i've picked up a brush and some paint! way. too. long.

good luck on the art show! :); July 1, 2011 at 9:19 PM

A Lost Feather said...: i love your bangs! i wish i could wear them, but my hair is way to unruly and i'm too lazy to deal with it... i've had bangs before, but end up pinning them back bc they are crazzzy.
