Well, life and art continue on and forward for Martha and I.
Last week while I was interviewing interesting folks and writing for my other blog http://www.wenatcheeworld.com/weblogs/arts-in-the-valley-and-beyond/2012/may/16/spring-bird-fest-ceramic-engineering-and-steam-pun/ Martha was judging art for the kids recycled art show up in
Leavenworth and teaching art to the residents at the local emergency housing
program.
Then on Friday while Martha was
volunteering as a docent at the Bird Fest art show in Leavenworth I covered some
of the other art activities related to
Bird Fest, took pictures and wrote yet
another blog for my other blog http://www.wenatcheeworld.com/weblogs/arts-in-the-valley-and-beyond/2012/may/20/an-art-day-in-the-life-at-bird-fest-2012/
. Then in evening we attended the opening for the kid’s art show Martha had
judged. A busy and fulfilling week it was indeed.
Also, last week Martha closed the deal on selling some art
to a buyer in L.A. Good… job Martha.
Meanwhile
I continued working on the painting of my granddaughter… it’s getting there.
It’s
a bit different for me as I am painting it in acrylic rather than doing it with
water color pencil and marker as I had done the portraits of my kids years ago.
I also, came to find that I had forgotten to put the link to the video I made
of our parade float experience in my previous blog… so here it is https://vimeo.com/41857971. It’s pretty
fun and very colorful.
Monday came the big day for Martha to pick up her artwork
from the gallery in Leavenworth and to change out her art at the NUART Gallery
in East Wenatchee and to the ship off three pieces to L.A. She is very excited and I am very happy for
her too. She also, had a couple of her works over at NUART framed and now they
look even better. As I write she is busily
painting up a storm on the new canvases she just got… can’t wait to see what
she comes up with now.

Earlier today, we were planning out what we want to do with
the tropical birds as far as mounting for the upcoming adult recycled art show
in Leavenworth that we are both participating in. The tropical birds need a different
mounting system than we used on the float and we want to add feet and natural branch
perches for her three birds. My eagle is pretty well good to go, I just need to
figure out the transports system as taking it in the back of my pick-up as I
did to the parade would wreak havoc on it traveling 20miles at freeway speeds.
Well, enough for now and back to work.
