Well I am not one of those people who use thier blog as a form of creative expression. Too bad. My friend Amy Rubin has a couple of interesting ones on the go right now,[See links.] I appreciate the opportunity to let people know what I am currently up to.
I am filling my wholesale orders right now and spend many days assembling my "canned art." I have enough orders right now to keep me going through April, May, & June. But I am still hoping to have at least one of my art classes go at Island Blue. I have never had such a sluggish session. I will be disapointed if they dont run for a couple of reasons: My students inspire me creatively, and the steady income of teaching is very handy to pay those pesky bills.
I am very excited about joining the residency program at the Vancouver Island School of Art this month. I will have space there and feedback from the instructors and students. My art room here is chock full of stuff from my home based business and the home environment is just too distracting to paint in. I have been painting at the open painting studio at the schoolMaybe I will have a chance to finish some of the hundred or so paintings that are unfinished? Keep an eye on this space i will do my best to put some new works on in the next little while. My classes coming up are: April 8th Monoprinting [one day workshop] and Experimental Acrylics [ eight weeks starting April 18th] and Beginner Watercolor 2 [starting April 27th]
