Perfectly Pastel...a fun workshop!

Good  morning everyone,

I taught my workshop,  Perfectly Pastel....The Fun Contintues,  Saturday at ArtZone in Georgetown, KY.  What a great group to teach, the students are creative, talented and willing to try new ideas and  enjoy the experience.  It can be challenging to work in groups, but we learn  from the sharing of other students.

The workshop  is the second in a series of mini-workshops for beginning and intermediate students of the pastel medium . Each session builds on the techniques and foundations that we have  learned in a previous session.  We are scheduling another workshop for April and I encourage anyone who is interested to contact ArtZone or myself for information. 

 I read a qutoe today and  could not find the author to credit...so even though I am not the creator of the quote, it is worthy to pass on , and if someone knows the author...pass that along  and I will be happy to give credit.

"Let your gratefulness overflow into Blessings to all those around you'".

Hope everyone has a creative week....filled with Blessings.

Great Workshop !

What a opportunity I had on Saturday!

As a member of  Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen, I had the opportunity of attending a professional education workshop provided  for  members of the Guild.

 J Jason Horejs, of  Xanadu Galleries in Scottsdale, AZ , author of Amazon.com bestseller, "Starving" to Successful,  and  How To Sell Art  conducted the  day long workshop.

Everyone participating got a inside look at gallery representation  from Jason,  a successful gallery owner for 17 years. Jason is the son of  nationally known oil painter, John Horejs.

Jason also demonstrated his simple and accurate inventory system software  "ArtTracker 2.0", which is a easy to use and will help every artist get organized.   Participants got "ArtTracker" and a copy of  Jason's book, "Starving" To Successful.  Thanks!

Thanks to Jeanette and Carol for the hard work of grant writing and then bringing it all together for the KGAC members.

Well, back to work on my commission.....which is going well.....I almost hate to say that ....I'm afraid I'll jinx it.  I am almost finished with the "ugly"stage...... artists will know what I am talking about when I mention this stage.

Have a great week.....and forget the snow.....it was just Bill Meck dreaming!

Winter Arrived ...A Little Late

As I type this I am thinking that winter did arrive....just a little late.

I have spent my "artist week" work working on a commission for a wonderful family......a surprise for the wife.  I work slow, getting to know the family in a way that only an artist can.  The details start to emerge.  What a pleasure it is!

I am teaching a pastel workshop at The Art Zone @ArtWorks Saturday February 25,.....there are still open seats.

Have a great week......

Make Over 2012

I wanted to mention to my  fellow friends, and artists  that  my website, pamelaclegg.com  is "undergoing a makeover" during the next few weeks.

 My son, Craig (who is an expert, patient and understands the artists heart) will be giving my website a "face lift" and updating all my information, including upcoming events for the year.  I am excited!

You know I love a blank canvas.....the fun begins! 

Good morning!  It's another beautiful "winter" day in Kentucky.  Even though we have not had any snow this year...and I always like one really good snow.....I am enjoying the warm weather and sunshine.  I actually worked in my flower beds a couple of  days ago.My flower beds need work, but I love the solitude of just pulling weeds or "turning the dirt over".

I have a new commission and a workshop coming up that I need to spend some time on.....but I went from "holiday overload" to "spring fever"  in February!
Now down to business.....
