Your invitation to Kentucky Crafted: The Market 2013

"Purple Skies"

Is everyone ready for spring yet?

I wanted to invite each of you to Kentucky Crafted:The Market 2013. This is my first year as a participant of Kentucky Crafted and I am  excited and nervous all at the same time.  I am in booth #348.....I hope that you can attend and please.....stop by and visit me while you are enjoying the Market. 

Warm wishes for a wonderful week.

Snowy Saturday

 

 

Good afternoon on a snowy Saturday.

 

 

 

 

 

" Winter  2013"

Pastel Sketch

 

I hope this Saturday afternoon finds each of you cozy and warm in your home.

 

Suddenly ...winter returned to  Georgetown, Kentucky.  Last week we had our  windows open to "air" out the house and my thoughts were turning to flower gardens and spring projects. Mother Nature got my attention with a shot of reality.  It is STILL WINTER ...SPRING is still six weeks away according to the calendar.

 

Enjoy this beautiful gift of snow. Yes, I do like snow...just not the cold weather.....the sketch above reminds me of the many beautiful colors of winter!

 

****For those of you who felt my pain  in my last blog as I was trying to upload pictures to this blog.....,  I will come clean and tell you my   "brillant son"    Paul, was able to diagnose the problem quickly. Yes, you are correct ...it was technician error.....me.

 

I got the order of the  upload wrong and the "computer" did not "understand" what I was trying to accomplish...huh.   SO....I wrote it down in my "book". Does anyone else have, " a book"?    

 

Thank you Paul...for your patience and not rolling you eyes where I could see-:)

 

Blessings to each of you, stay warm and enjoy your weather......wherever you may be!

Cold and more Cold!

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you are staying warm today. 

 Winter  is here, and I know that means cold weather....but......this weather got my attention. I am defintely a southern gal and its a good thing I don't live  farther north than Georgetown, KY.  However, on the positive side of this weather....the sun has been out for a couple of days which makes it  a little easier to have the illusion of warmth.

I have been trying to post pictures to the blog for about an hour now.....am just not getting it done today. Somedays it works and other days I cannot seem to get it working for me.  Can you tell I am aggravated.  I will continue to try and attach some pictures today...I will not let this get the best of me...haha.

I did want to let everyone know that I got my Kentucky Crafted Market booth assignment.  I will be in Booth 348.

 The Market will take place again this year at the Lexington Convention Center, downtown Lexington, KY.  The dates are March 2nd and 3rd.  I look forward to seeing at The Market.

   I am also attaching, (I hope) a link
http://artscouncil.ky.gov/KentuckyArt/2013Market.htm which lists all the exciting events that will be going on at the Market.  Come and have a good time.

 I am working on new paintings...(just sold 2 yesterday to a returning customer)....yeah..... so I will have to get back to the easel and paint, paint and paint some more.

Also, if anyone is interested in taking afternoon classes in pastel, I am again teaching at The Art Zone  @ Art Works  in Georgetown, KY.  These workshops are so much fun.  I will attach (hopefully) the information and would love to see you at either of these workshops. Info is available through me  at pmclegg@bellsouth.net or 502-316-2896...or info@scottcountyartworks.org .

WARM Blessings to you all.

Happy New Year....Just a little late!

Happy New Year to everyone.....just a little late...but no less sincere.

 Painting/marketing/workshops/shows/commissions and art business took a back seat this Christmas season.  I have spent the last few weeks enjoying some much needed time relaxing and spending time with family and friends.

I have spent some quiet time reflecting on the previous year .....so much joy, so little sorrow and a  profound  gratefulness and gratitude for so many blessings.

We had our first snow  Saturday after Christmas while  I was out of town visiting  my mom. I missed watching the snow falling,  but...... what a wonderful coming home present.... four inches of beautiful  snow.

 My youngest son Paul surprised me on Christmas... and how I love a surprise!  I am typing this blog on my new IPad. Thank you Paul.....I guess this is payback for all those breakfasts I have cooked.........just kidding!

I am back at the easel painting and getting ready for Kentucky Craft Market, which is  March 2nd and 3rd at the Lexington  Convention Center in downtown Lexington, KY.  

 Applications, Applications, Applications...... I am  in the process of sending applications to juried art shows that I hope to participate in this year,....always  a nerve racking process until you hear that you are/are not accepted.

I will update my web site with a list of shows and jury acceptance as I apply and hear from the shows.

Wishing each of you  Blessings and Joy during the coming year.
