Natchitoches Art Guild Show

The Natchitoches Art Guild sponsors a juried

show every year in August. They must remove

their art from their gallery walls to make

room for the show entries. I had invited them

earlier in the year to come and hang a show

during the month of August while the art

would be available. So, a few of them submitted

some work, and it is now hanging in our

gallery.

I really like chickens and roosters, and several

of the pieces are that genre. The wire

sculpture pieces are done by Char White.

The oil painting of the rooster is by Margie

Tate from Alexandria, and the parrots

are by Linda Lyles. (you can tell I like all

the birds!) The show will come down on

August 29th, so come by and check it out

this month.

Savannah Swim Final

I think I am finished with this drawing of

Savannah. I punched up the darks, and

added a few highlights. I plan to enter it in

the Natchitoches Art Guild show. I haven't

thought of a title yet, but I have a few in

mind. If you would like to make a suggestion,

that would be great!

Savannah Swim

I am trying to finish up a couple of things

that I had started in order to enter some

competitions. I started this colored pencil

of my niece's little girl last summer, and

it got pushed aside by more pressing

projects. I have to have a really good

piece for the annual Natchitoches Art

Guild show in August, and the deadline

for entry will be while I am in Greece!

So, I have to finish this, photograph it,

and send it off before I leave next

Saturday! don't you just love deadlines...

I used to tell my students, "If it were'nt

for the last minute, nothing would ever

get done!" how true
