Getting Closer...

I am so close to being finished with my upcoming two-person exhibition! The delivery is next Saturday and I'm really pumped. This Saturday, the last few frames are going on the last few works. After that, all I have to do is make sure every last piece is wired and ready to go and then bubble wrap each work and box them up for the ride. That's not too much to do in a week, right?

I haven't done any painting recently, since all of this last minute preparation has been happening. Next month, I hope to get a few paintings in. Also, I hadn't seen any ducklings this spring, and a few weeks ago when Derek and I were out taking photos of me for the catalogue(!), we came across these little ones...

New Painting!

Above is one of my last additions to the upcoming 2 person exhibit at SAMA in Ligonier Valley (which I couldn't be more excited about!). It's titled "Marion County - June 3rd", and the work is on my larger size, the 24 x 20" canvas. It's also oil and acrylic on canvas. The picture could be better, but it will do for now. Right now I'm working on getting all of the work framed and wired for the exhibit. It's half way there! I will be so glad when I have it all safely delivered at the end of the month. I've been fairly stressed out lately with wedding planning/new homeowner issues/large, 45 piece exhibit stuff swimming around in my head. I would like to put one of those large things away and have a big check on my to-do list!

Thank you!

I am tired today - it was a hot weekend in Morgantown, WV at Arts on the River. So much thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth and took the time to view work, chat and/or sign up for our mailing lists!

Now I will dive back into painting and preparing for the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art exhibit. The work is done, the paperwork is in and all I have left to do is take care of presentation. It's coming up so quickly...

Our Booth

"February 28th"

February 28th (24x20, oil) has been juried into MAA Gallery's Exhibit 60 in Morgantown, WV. The exhibition will be on display from April 8th through June 2nd, 2010. Sterling Edwards was this year's juror.

Also, I will have new paintings up soon, I have been very busy lately - feeling the pressure for my upcoming SAMA exhibit!

Update and New Painting

Just a quick update! The two person show at Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art that I will be doing with Brian Ferrell is now running from August 6th through October 31st, 2010, with the reception taking place on August 7th, 2010. It's titled Brian Ferrell and Lauren Adams: The Aesthetics of Nature. I really can't wait!

Plus, here's a new painting from over the weekend, February 20th.....It's one of my last (if not the last) 18 x14"s that I will be doing. From now on I will be working on a new sized canvas that will be somewhere between the 15" x 13" and the 18 x14".

SAMA at Ligonier Valley & New Painting

First off, here is one of my newest paintings, November 28th, completed out at Prickett's Creek. It's a smaller, 15 x 13" piece. I had a difficult time getting a decent shot of it, so hopefully I will be able to post a better picture later.

Last week I mentioned that I have some news about an exhibit. I'm very excited to be showing at Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Ligonier Valley from August 14th - November 6th, 2010. It will be a two person exhibition with furniture designer Brian Ferrell. His work is fantastic, check out his website here : http://www.brianferrelldesigns.com/.
