“Summer has filled her veins with light and her heart is washed with noon.” -C. Day Lewis
Here in the studio, things have cranked into high speed as we prepare for our first show of the season, the Main Street Fort Worth Arts Festival in Fort Worth, Texas. There is always much to do before departing, but the first one of the year always seems extra busy as we are a little rusty on travel after spending the winter in the studio. But in addition to being out of practice, the to-do list is in fact longer for the first one. Besides creating the artwork, we have to check to make sure everything that it takes to build a mobile gallery is in place – things like business cards, sales receipts, rain gear AND documenting and adding all the new work to the website.
I get to cross a big one off my list as all the new Mile Marker pieces for the next couple of shows have been photographed and added to the website galleries! I invite you to take a look and let us know if you would like us to put your name on one of them. We are happy to bring them to you at a scheduled show or ship them right to you doorstep.
(the rest of the new pieces can be found here.)
“The arts and humanities define who we are as a people. That is their power ― to remind us of what we each have to offer, and what we all have in common. To help us understand our history and imagine our future. To give us hope in the moments of struggle and to bring us together when nothing else will.” -– Michelle Obama
After traveling home to Oklahoma with a new piece of my artwork, a collector promptly ordered a second piece to go with it. She is happy, however, she does have the following warning for you…
“New piece arrived in perfect condition. It’s been hung and it’s perfection. My only regret is that I’ve hung them in the bedroom, now I have to keep it cleaned so I can show them off. Love ’em! ”
Ha! What room do you want to keep clean?
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” ― Leonardo da Vinci
