Art Happenings, June 5th Edition

6/5/2012

1 Comment

 
Now that I have a minute to sit and process...even though it's almost 2am on June 6th...I am going to rewind and go back to June 5th.  One of the first things that was significant was checking my email to find that my angel paintings from my first Etsy order made it to Missouri and Nevada- and that they liked my work.  (see pic below) More important- the work served as a  tribute to their friend.  Awesome.

Looking at that email, and seeing my work in the hands of the folks that I made it for, and feeling like it really did serve the purpose for which it was created...truthfully?  I teared up.  I got a little verklempt.

And then it was on to my adventures in flamingo embellishment, which I wrote about in the previous post.  (scroll down)

I really would love to go all Sandy Skoglund style and fill an entire room with an entire flock of these fabulously sparkly fowl.  

Hmmmmmm...maybe I will.

I started off really motivated...worked on the flamingos and then, well...there was some lost time.  But I did get back into my creative zone, started pretty late, but I made some art nonetheless. Well, let me back track...I figured out what I wanted to do for the next ANE show.  It's a Star Trek theme and I had some ideas, but I wasn't 100% sure of what I wanted to do...and I will post more about it later as I start creating the work, but let's just say that the pieces will fit my pinup theme for the month of June.

Back to my CED #157.  It's done.  Found a cool picture of Bettie that really inspired me...and well, here is the work, shown as I worked on it (below)

Bettie+ flamingo.

While I was working on my CED I had the idea to combine my Bettie-esque figure with the pink flamingo that I worked on earlier today.  It isn't finished, but it is well under way.

Just something for fun.


Or maybe this is a small-scale study for a larger work?

Either way, you can bet that there will be some sparkle.

And finally...when I was getting my workspace ready I found some old sketches in one of my pinup books.  I have no idea what I was planning, or when these three pages were completed...but I felt like I found buried treasure.  Even though these may not go with my current projects, I may revisit them for future inspiration for works.
