Just Waiting 17″ x 12″ acrylic on 200gsm handmade French watercolor paper
Among other things, I am planning an art trip to Europe this summer! While I am not “Just Waiting” (like the bottles in the painting), as I have an incredible amount of work to do to prepare for this trip and another important thing to accomplish before then.
I told you there would be lots of things to share with you and this is just one of them. Yes, I will see Andrea for sure! We will be putting our heads together when I am there and see what comes of that. I am not sure of all of the details, but I plan on being in both Germany and France this summer! Will you be in Europe this summer? You might want to think about it! I think it is going to be very exciting!!!!

In The Forest 6″x6″ (sold)
Lately it feels as though I have been walking through a beautiful, but dense forest and writing blog posts have not been on the schedule. I hope to change all of that, however, as I have so many things to share with everyone. Some things I am not ready to share but keep watching this space as I have lots of exciting news for the future.
Today I want to tell you the story of an art forest adventure. If you remember from my most recent blog posts, I did a market with Andrea in Germany at the beginning of November 2012. It was a wonderful market and despite the weather many people popped by to have a look and purchase our paintings. A lovely woman purchased some of my bottle paintings and decided to give one to her daughter as a gift and shipped it to her in Berlin. When Andrea next saw this woman she indicated she needed to speak with her about the paintings. When she met with Andrea, she needed to choose another bottle painting because the one she had shipped to her daughter had been stolen! Someone has actually stolen one of my paintings and in Berlin, no less! I do hope the person who took this painting is enjoying it.
Oh, I have more stories to tell, but I am not prepared to share them just yet. Keep your eye here because lots of exciting things are to come and later this spring, I will tell you one of the big things that has been keeping me away from the blogging so much!
Have you ever had any of your work stolen? What keeps you from blogging?
I hope your forest is as beautiful as ever!
