Artist's Update

For me, Summer is a time to draw and paint to get ready for the fall and winter shows such as the Own Your Own at the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center and other shows during the Christmas season. There are a variety of upcoming shows to enter like the Colorado State Fair and Colorado Watercolor Society. It is also a time to catch up on some of those long term projects that I have been working on for awhile. For instance, I have three small pieces of furniture that I want to paint in different styles, folk, whimsical and Asian.

In mid July I attended a collage workshop given by Santa Fe artist Brigitte Bruggemann (brigittebruggemann.com) in Santa Fe. It was held during the annual Folk Art Festival which was great because I am always inspired by other artists. For me, most importantly, workshops are always a source of new ideas and renewal.

In closing, a great quote for any artist’s blog, “Painting is its own language and when you try to talk about it, it’s like an inferior translation.” - Francis Bacon
