Hello, Wonderful People!
It's been a little while since I've checked in so I wanted to let you know what I've been doing. Still alive, thank You, Lord!
Worked the seventh annual Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival, http://www.woodlandsartsfestival.com/.
The weather was seriously windy but we had a nice, partial cloud cover and it was really fun. My job was artist relations, my favorite, which involved meeting the artists, giving them food and drinks and breaking them so they could leave their booths for breaks. Let's face it, one of my gifts is working with people. I love people! The artists were from all over the country - Wisconsin, Washington, Connecticut, South Carolina, lots from Florida, etc. I believe this was the biggest festival we've had, and read somewhere that last year we had 16,000 attendees. Pretty sure we had more this year. It was really fun to be back as the last year or two I've been out of the country when the fest was scheduled. Couldn't do it this year, so it was GREAT to be here during the fest!
Our gallery had a lot of volunteers working the festival, as did a lot of other organizations. It takes a lot of people to put something like this on.
It's also 'that time of year' for homeschool teachers, and for this art teacher. The schedules for the next school year are set for all three places where I teach, the HIS Classes, www.hisclasses.org, the Training Center Classes, www.trainingcenterclasses.com, and The Woodlands Art League, www.woodlandsartleague.org. The first two will be weekly classes that run the entire school year, and the last one at the gallery will be summer classes. If you're interested in the summer classes, they're all going to be different levels of metal embossing, VERY fun. Anyway, this has kept me really busy, too, fielding questions about classes, open houses and taking registrations.
In my current classes, we're doing some serious hands-on stuff, i.e., preparing portfolios, self-portraits, metal embossing, glass painting, clay and metal/plaster sculpture. With all this going on, I haven't had a chance to paint myself! I've done preliminary research for my next two paintings and hope to be able to start sketching out the first drawings soon. I've also got a self-portrait that I need to continue working on since I made all my highschoolers do it. Haven't done one for a little while, so it's time.
Okay, there you have it! More later!
