CLOSE CALLS - YIKES!

[marybu...@juno.com]

 Greetings Gentle Ones:

     Ahhh - the weather is warming, flowers are blooming, trees are budding - I think Spring has finally arrived.

 

      I have finally completed my migration to the back porch but have been unable to work on my large landscape lately due to a busy, busy last two weeks.  One of the things that has occupied my time is hanging a show at a new cafe that has opened up close to me.  The French Connection Cafe has kindly let me hang quite a few pieces on their walls - I am including a few shots of the show.  

    No sooner had I returned from hanging the show that I got a phone call from the owner of the cafe.  Apparently one of my largest paintings fell off the wall narrowly missing a little girl!  Ironically, the name of the painting that almost did the child in is called "Guardian". 

 

   Another close call occurred last week during the monthly Live Model Sketch group.  I had found two new models but only one had actually said she would come.  So imagine my surprise when both models showed up!  It was great to pose and paint 2 models but my mind was worrying over the double model fee I would have to pay - Yikes!  Fortunately, one of the attendees volunteered to pay one of the models so it was not too great a burden on me.  I am posting the quick oil studies that I did  at that time.

 

A big "thank you" and a warm welcome to new collectors Wendy from Memphis, M. Barricello from Mass. and Gayle from Ohio.  They all purchased their paintings from  my eBay site.

 

Please take a few minutes to check out my blogs -On http://mainelymary.blogspot.com   you can learn about the Godmother of the Cosa Nostra and  on  http://thehavenofrest.blogspot.com where a children's crusade is discussed.

 

Until next time, may you avoid all close calls! -

 

Mary
