Wow, what a feeling. I got to paint!!! The piece is almost finished, just needing a few things to tie all the elements together... you might know what I'm talking about, when some things stick out and look like they don't belong. India ink and some well swiped wiping will do the trick, just waiting for paint to dry. I took this week off because the past month or so has been nothing but a rush, but highly productive. So, this pause and rest that I've taken is just what the doctor ordered. It feels good to be alive.
There had been no blogging because:
1. The computer died and it took about 2-3 weeks to get what was needed onto this one to get into working order. New computer is wonderful!
2. By the time that happened, there was so much computer work stored up that it took even longer to get here...
3. Art with Heart's 501c3 paperwork had been finished in the meantime, which meant time away from other work, but they've just assigned someone to our case... YAAAY! Cause to celebrate!
4. We had an art show and a stage set to design! Whoo hoo, it feels good to be a working artist. The January Art show at the Depot
and 2009 Sweetheart Ball
The January Art show at the depot was fantastic. We ran with little time to put it together, but the outcome was great- you'd never know it. How that happened is the spam filters got my emails to the teachers, the hand delivered invitations were the only things to make it to the teachers. Too funny! Now we know ;)
We had a great turn out and everyone had a good time. Another great part was to be able to get to know the Singing River Art Association members better and the chance to be my normal harried and goofy self running around here and there getting it done. Tina and I had the best time running around. Stephen did the reception's food, he went all out and we all had leftovers. Lord knows how I love to not cook.
Tina got to see the behind the scenes of an art show...
Conception, date setting, invitations, communication, publicity, hanging, reception work.
The art that came in was wonderful. All entries were well thought out (and if they weren't don't let anyone know, you fooled me.) The teachers were proud and really surprised me at how well they knew their students and how they intimately they cared for each.
__________________________________________________________
The Sweetheart Ball was so much fun to do. We got to come in and paint the paintings for the walls, the theme was Starlight in Paris~ it pushed Tina and me into art mode where you don't think, you do and it puts your critic way back into your mind and the real artist emerges. The idea sounds good... GO! I love it. Its like extreme art :)
Tina's pictures were something else, she just whipped these things out at the drop of a hat! The first and the second group of pictures are hers- she just went with it.
The Eiffel tower was fun to do and the bizarre thing is that the lights fit exactly (nothing left over) into the holes punched into the cardboard. I love it when God does things like that :)
We had other help, too, those fellows who worked with us that you see there were on work release and volunteered for Art with Heart. They were really creative, helpful and total gentlemen. Without them, it wouldn't have come together. Their senses of humor kept us laughing the whole time!
To all who volunteered and/or gave us something to laugh about,
Blessings and hugs to you!

The Tip Tops are a high-energy dance and show band based out of
Mobile, AL. Their musical emphasis is "60's", "Motown" and "Rhythm &
Blues." The 4 Tops, Otis Redding, The Temptations and Marvin Gaye are
just a sample of the artists The Tip Tops cover. Mix in some "50's" from
Elvis and Sam Cooke and some "80's" from Kool and The Gang and The
Commodores and you have three decades of musical history.
Beautiful, sensuous, and glittering are just a few words to describe "The
Toppettes" which is a show in itself. These young ladies have mesmerized
audiences throughout the southeast. The Supremes, Aretha Franklin,
Gladys Knight, and The Pointer Sisters are just a few of the artists "The
Toppettes" bring to your venue. The high-energy, fast-stepping brass
section (The Dancing Horns) make The Tip Tops a total entertainment
package. Five part harmony, choreography, and costume changes will
ensure your audience of a most enjoyable evening.
