Work in Progress...

The view in my little studio as of now....working on a new 48 x 30". It's nice to be painting this large again, that's for sure!

Hopefully I will have this painting completed by the end of the weekend for a New Painting post. Won't be in the studio tomorrow - as I am taking a much needed trip to Ikea. Derek and I need a new bookcase for the office. Anyway, it would be great if this piece would turn out, as I could include a very new painting in my upcoming 3 person exhibit at the Sleeth Gallery. This Wednesday is the delivery date!

Donation!

Prickett's Creek. oil and acrylic on canvas. 20 x 17". Donation.

Remember the Loyalhanna Watershed Association's Annual Dinner and Art Auction Benefit that I mentioned many months ago? Well, I have settled on donating Prickett's Creek (above) for the silent auction. I really wish I was able to attend the event as I have heard that their decorator is doing a 3-D re-creation of my Valley Falls- October 9th painting as a water feature, and also coordinating the decor for the evening with the color palette of the piece! I really can't believe it...I am so excited and honored, I am sad to miss it. At that time in September, Derek and I will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary for an extended weekend. (We are both huge Avett Brothers fans and will be attending their back-to-back shows in Virginia that weekend.) Hopefully I will have pictures of the event sent to me so I can share.

Postcards and Mailing List

One goal met! My postcards are ordered and delivered as of yesterday for my upcoming solo show at the Slingluff Gallery in April. I hope everyone on my mailing list likes theirs :) If you aren't on my mailing list and would like a postcard, just shoot me an email with your name and address to mailinglist@laurenadamsart.com. This also signs you up for my monthly newsletter and other freebies! The sidebar to the right subscribes you to my newsletter only, but if you want snail mail like postcards (like I do), I will need your physical address too.

Anyway, I do love a good postcard - Here are some favorites that are for sale on Etsy:
