The 88 Strong Show- has 88 themes hence the name which you can pick from any one of the themes.  It's a really fun show because you can do pretty much anything that falls into any one of the themes.  Portlandia is one of the themes- which I decided to paint Le Happy- which is a crepe and steak restaurant in town- it really stands out because it's a vibrant yellow.  Crepes certainly make me happy.. especially when they are filled with nutella and bananas. yum!

Here is another painting that will be apart of the 88 Strong Show.  I always love painting vintage still life and always have a weak spot for that beautiful turquoise color. The funny thing about vintage radios- I am always afraid to turn them on because then it's almost as if you are contacting outer space. :) About the Show: 88 Strong Location: @ The Goodfoot, 2845 SE Stark, Portland, OR Date: September 27th- 5pm and goes until October 23rd Details: 88 artists that make 8 works and can choose from any of the 88 themes.  Every 8X8 painting is $50 and comes framed.  The show is a cash and carry show which means you pay and walk out with the painting that same night.   ...
This year I am lucky enough to participate in the annual 88 strong show curated by Mr Chris Haberman and Jason Brown.  I have been tucked away in my studio trying to get some new paintings done. It's even harder to get in the studio since I am a new mommy of a 2 month old but have been working away when she sleeps- and her long sleep happens to be around 8 pm to 1 am, but I am pretty darn proud that finished all the work on time.  Woohoo!    I decided to paint a couple of vintage radios.  I do have a soft spot for hunting for vintage treasures.  I am still trying to figure out how to bring a baby estate sale hunting because she doesn't fit into one of those baby back packs.... yet :)   About the Show: 88 Strong Location: @ The Goodfoot, 2845 SE Stark, Portland, OR Date: September 27th- 5pm and goes until October 23rd Details: 88 artists that make 8 works and can choose from any of the 88 themes.  Every 8X8 painting is $50 and comes framed.  The show is a cash...
Here are some peaks of my baby's book for my sweet little girl Eleanor.  I wanted to do something a little bit different and something made by me.  I picked up a scrapbook by Smash  and added a few of my own little illustrations and lots of pictures.  I can't wait to fill it up with brand new memories and of course new adventures....
I'm still here.. I have been a bit quiet on the blog front because I have been hard at work in the studio on a upcoming art show and between that and an infant I haven't been able to get much sleep.  Thank goodness for naps!  I can't wait to show you what I have been working on and need to catch up on emails and everything in between.   ...
