Spent the day working on a new Rag Quilt design for an upcoming class. This one had little blocks with saying on them centered on other fabric designs. Trying to find a way to make an easy quilt for people who don’t sew a lot but won’t a special quilt. Hoping to have the clipping done and a couple of washes tomorrow.

Known for his drip style of painting, Jackson Pollock was an abstract expressionist painter. Born on this day in 1912, he led a volatile life. You can read more about him here.
And today I am also remembering my mama. My biggest wish is that she would have lived long enough to see The Studio. I think she would have loved it and what we are doing there. I hope she knows. Happy 76th Birthday Mama. We miss you every day. (Read more about my mom here.)

We had a great time last night at the Famous Painter party recreating Georges Seurat “Woman with Monkey”. This was a study that he did for the much larger painting, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884-86).

I’m excited to announce that I have been invited to show my art at Belle Grove this June along with two other regional artists. We visited the house yesterday to meet and discuss the show. It’s the first time they are going to display local art throughout the house. I’m so excited.
This beautiful old home is a terrific place to show art and for people to see a wonderful example of a manor house. We will keep you updated on all the details as we get closer to the show on June 22-24, 2018. There will be an “Meet the Artists” Reception on June 23rd as well as classes and workshops on June 23rd and 24th. It will be a great time to visit Belle Grove.
