Hiatus

I'm back from my wedding hiatus - the day is over and so is the honeymoon - and that means back to work! I told myself I would not work during my vacation, that I would take a real break and try to recharge. Not one of those "breaks" where I take a day off from my day job, only to install a show, ship a painting, prep surfaces, deliver works, or do any assortment of wedding-related things, but an actual break where I slow down and catch my breath. It was wonderful, but I am looking forward to getting back out there and painting. I have changed my standard sizes again ( I know, I know, I'm terrible about this!), more on this later, but it is a necessary change. Also, the Southern Alleghenies Museum exhibit is going really well, I'm getting a lot of great feedback - lots of thanks to everyone who has or plans to check it out. The exhibition will be up until the end of October.

Art Scam Alert

Lately I have received several emails from "buyers" who are basically trying to scam fine artists. It is a very obvious scam, involving someone from a foreign country who is moving and wants to buy several pieces, but will not pay shipping, and is in a rush. Please look out for this if you are an artist. For more detailed information, Lori Woodward on Fine Arts Views has written a post about it:
