This previous Friday I had a great opportunity to hit the road with some fellow painters and attend a First Friday in Kansas City. These things are kind of a big deal. All the galleries in the Crossroads district have their openings and there are street performers and live music and so much fun to be had; I really enjoyed every minute of it! I found some amazing artists and art and realized that I really am making the right decision in being an artist. Take a look for yourself.

If anyone would like artist names, I will gladly send them your way, I just don't have my list in front of me right now to put captions on these.
I hope the weekend is treating everyone well. I am heading to Topeka today for a Relay For Life Retreat, then back here to get some work done. I started a new painting yesterday! And guess what? I am back to working in oils! I'm so excited! I feel like a real artist again, that's how much I missed them. I'm going to leave you all with a photo of my newest still live set up, which Ivy calls "Moody"....

Those are really interesting exhibits! Nice still life, too.
ReplyDeleteFirst Friday sounds like so much fun! The art looks gorgeous, and I love your still life. Also, the LOLcat fine art almost made me drop my teacup, I laughed so hard! :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh I love the knitted tree! That looks like an amazing gallery, I really want to go someday! I'm so glad that you were able to go. Heehee, and I'm sorry, I still think the still life is moody, but that isn't a bad thing! I cannot wait to see the finished product,
ReplyDeleteThat looks like such a fun evening. We have Gallery Nights in Madison, but the city is too small for them to be a big deal.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic art exhibit! So much creativity in one place. It's amazing.
