This month has been so crazy! It's the end of the semester, I got my wisdom teeth removed, and there is just a whole lot of stuff going on. I didn't get to make it to any of the galleries on First Friday, but its been a couple days since my surgery and I've been cooped up, so I decided today would be the perfect day to go see! I only had the cupcakes up this month, and unfortuneately they didn't sell or place. After looking at all the other pieces though, I wasn't surprised. There were a ton of entries this month, and everybody really stepped up to the plate (and kicked my butt)!
At the beginning of the month The Freelance Star wrote an article about the upcoming shows and in the article about Liberty Town there was a little section describing three different paintings and I was lucky enough to be one of them, so that was really cool. Guess the cupcakes are going to Lucketts then!

Cupcakes

Life at the beginning of the new year...
Back from Christmas and already full into the swing of things again. The spring semester started this past week and I couldn't afford to take a 'for fun' art class this time. That means I have to make time for myself to be able to do art. To be honest, I've been pretty sick of painting for a while since I had to do it for class, but after a little break I'm almost itching to get back into it. I have a ton of nearly finished paintings that just need a little touch-up or a frame, which I really, really hope to get up here soon!
April is the annual food-themed exhibit at Liberty Town and I am planning on having around 10-20 pieces to submit to the gallery. I have a set of 3 pink cupcake paintings that say 'Suger', 'Spice', and 'And Everything Nice'. Those turned out so great that I think they will sell really quickly, so I may also do a blue and green set. I also want to do oil paintings of 3 small plates and 1 large spread of sushi/sashimi. Maybe a couple simple little fruit paintings as well. The other part of this exhibit has to do with art made of food. I would really love to recreate a life-size bust of Marie Antoinette completely out of different foods, lacy bodice, elaborate powdered hair, and all! The issue with this has to do with costs however. The first place prize is only $100, and these pieces are not for sale. I feel as though the materials would exceed any possible winnings. We'll see.
The other exhibit coming up soon is of figure drawings, taking place at Headquarters Library. There is a group of local artists meeting every Wednesday at $12 a person that is working on pieces specifically for this exhibit, but unfortunately the meeting falls on the same time as my Calculus class. I don't think I'll be doing any big paintings, but hopefully I'll have some time to do a few charcoals for this. Its too bad they aren't accepting any nudes, or else I'd have a few to submit already, haha!
