Eastern Shore Heritage Festival

Eastern Shore Heritage Festival is this upcoming Saturday, Feb.22 from10am-3pm. I'll be there with my original watercolors and there will be other local artists, displays about the Eastern Shore of Va.,and good food! If you are nearby please stop in. Oh -- it's being held as usual at the Eastern Shore Community College in Melfa,Va. and I'll be in the Atrium in the building to the Left.

I'm looking forward to it. I send out an email before each of the shows I'm in. Here are my latest work which I lay on my dining room table and take a photo of teetering on a dining room chair.. to get an above shot.( Yes Sadie's usually standing by the chair!) Then I send this photo off to my email list of customers,friends, and students..It helps me show them my newest work as well as advertises. It's a good idea to help with your shows. Keep the email list and send out a photo of your latest work to your customers. ( I'm more artist than merchandiser but we must keep our work out there.--I hope this helps you in some way.)

I've got frames coming in tomorrow. Today I'll be painting. Not sure what yet but I'll be painting.
Hope you all are warm and have a lovely day and sending you my love,Diana

Two New Watercolors

Here are 2 new 8x10s. I did the roses today,I drew them last night. The actual flowers are wilted terribly.. but I'll put the heads of the roses in a bowl tomorrow and enjoy just the petals for a few days. They seem to smell more now. The little landscape is from a paint out. I took photos of Harborton,Va. when the Eastern Shore Art League(ESAL) went to Jennie Budd's lovely home and garden. This is from one of those photos.

 I need to get framing,this weekend I have the show at the Eastern Shore Community College-The Heritage Festival. It will include an old tractor display and lots of local history of the ES.as well as 30 local artists and our work  plus that Saturday night is the opening of the ESAL Almost Spring Show at the Red Queen Gallery in Onancock,Va. I've got to frame my 2 paintings in the morning I ran out of time today and of course I've changed my mind. I 'll be entering the roses watercolor in the last post and the orchids.  I always put down silly names that can be most anything. This time it's Spring and Finding Spring.  Ha ha.. it works.. when I finally find what to paint!

 Hope you all are painting up a storm and enjoying each moment of it. Tell me what you are painting or doing. Talk to you soon,Diana

No word from the puppy!
