I am alive!!!

I've just been busy, will post later...hopefully.

Friday!

Friday is the big day, and I am already thinking about a new series.  I'm really excited about it though.  Here's the finished product...

Here are the old ones I might be using...

And, here is a sneak peak at what I will be working on...

Down to the Wire.

The show is next weekend!  I have a lot of work to do this weekend, but I'm off work Sat, Sun, and Mon.  So, I think I will have no problem getting everything done!  Woo, I'm excited.

My Hubbers made this, and calls himself my manager now.  :)

Paint, paint, paint.

I went by t, an urban tea house, and talked to the owner about putting up some art pieces.  Turns out one of the artists coming up doesn't have enough work for his show, he only has enough to fill half the space.  It's super short notice, but I'm definitely going to jump on it.  Keep your calendars open for August 20th!  And, I will be painting my ass of until then.

Paintings!

Now, that I don't have a wedding consuming my life, and that I have decided I hate my job, I have started painting again, for me.  Though, I'm very grateful I have a job with benefits, its just "the needs of the business are changing," and I'm not as happy there as I once was.  I'm going to still work hard and do my best when I'm there, since I do have morals, I just won't like it as much as I used to.  Plus, I only have one more year there anyway.

Back to the paintings.  I've decided to do a series based of one of my paintings from years ago, and work towards getting about 8 done for a show of some sort.  Maybe, at this local tea shop in town.  Cross your fingers. 

All of them are going to be in this style, very simple, with white backgrounds, and different types of goldfish.

Here's the one I'm working on now, sorry about the quality, I took the photo on my phone.

More Photos

We had two wedding photographers. 

 One was my sister and one of the maids of honor, April Sexton, of Frannie and Cake Photography.

The other was a friend of ours, Ashley Culp, of The Red Couch Studio.

They both have very different styles, but I was very happy with what they did.  Thanks, Ladies!
