Well, while
Martha has been in Texas enjoying the grand kids and having a Happy B-Earthday,
I have busily working away at our various art projects, submitting apps for
shows and securing her another art show.
As to the
art projects, I created pedestals for the giant tropical birds she and the
other members of the Embracing Cultures Parade Float Project have created and
rebuilt the pedestal for my giant steel eagle. Earlier in the week, I did a little research
online to find a place that sold fire retardant for the birds as that is
required for the parade. Luckily I found a site that sold it and we will be in compliance
in time for the parade on the first weekend of May.
And, as I
write this the salmon I made from Styrofoam and paper Mache which the eagle
will clutch in its claws is drying in the sun and I will finish painting it and
install it as soon as it’s dry. 
Next a rocky crag above a river just under the
eagle as it comes in for a landing fish in claw. I’m so happy with how this
project is coming.
During the
week, I submitted our forms to part of this year’s Icicle Arts Recycled Art
Show. Our giant birds are made from 90% reused and recycled materials and will
make great entries I think for the show. Wish us luck in the judging.
And, now
that I’m thinking about it another organization wants Martha to donate a piece
for a good cause out in Yakima… now where is the email with the info on that… I
might be starting lose it. Oh well, I’ll find it and get something to them.
Also, this week I learned of an individual who was seeking art by Hispanic artists for a gallery show later this year. So, I updated Martha’s artist resume and history of exhibits and sent it off along with some photos to Juan Alonso. We shall see what comes of it.
Meanwhile,
Gary Doan the owner of the NuArt Gallery in east Wenatchee got back with me about
having an exhibit of Martha’s Dancing Zebra and some other newer painting in
his gallery and asked that I install early this week. You betcha Gary
And, now it’s
time to get back to that Salmon. But before that I think it's time I get started on painting a portrait of this little cutie.Tweet
