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.

 

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas 

Wishing everyone a season filled with  Blessings and Joy!

 

 

 



Happy Thanksgiving

Good morning ......and "Thank You"  to everyone  who attended the  Lexington Art & Craft Show in Lexington, KY this past weekend.  

 What a talented and creative group of artists from many different areas in the country.  There was a variety of high quality art and crafts to choose from. 

Lexington Art & Craft Show, Pamela Clegg

 

 

I hope that your Thanksgiving is filled with family, friends, joy and blessings.

 

 



 



   

Indian Summer......A Beautiful Memory!

 

                          Good afternoon from "Maggie The Magnificent Beagle"and myself!

 I have enjoyed the "magnificent" weather for the last week and must say how sorry I was to see it end.  

My husband and I had the pleasure of roaming the paths along the  Elkhorn Creek (with Maggie), enjoying open windows with warm breezes and  a trip to one of the most beautiful horse track in the world, Kenneland in Lexington, KY.

 Kenneland was at the height of  autumn beauty with crisp blue skies, warm temperatures and foilage at  peak colors.    No......we didn't win anything....but it is the "experience and ambiance"....well...ok, it would be fun to win some money. 

I am gearing up for the Holiday Fair in Lexington, KY, November 17th and 18th.   I painted this week plein aire (outside and on location).  I enjoyed the experinece....however,  it does take some "getting used to".   When the warm weather returns in the spring I will give it another try. 

Update on Kentucky Guild Of Artists And Craftsmen Fall Fair, October13th and 14th:

Beautiful warm weather to set up on Friday. Saturday was even nicer than Friday .....outstanding for the guests and exhibitors.  Sunday we lost  to the  wind gusts! 

 The KGAC Executive Director/Board and President made the decision to close early. Difficult decision but  correct considering the storms previous history and the concern for the safety of guests and exhibitors. A huge" Thank You" to all the guests who visited the fair  and supported the artisians with your purchases.  

This is defintely a "Spaghetti Sunday"my husband is making "from scratch" his famous sauce for our evening meal.... I can smell it now...ummm.

I want to express my concern for all my friends and family on the east coast, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, please.... stay safe during the next few days. You are in my thoughts.

Have a week filled with blessings and gratitude.

   

Theres a chill in the air!

Good afternoon.

The fall weather has arrived with  crisp blue skies and  leaves in full color! 

I spent the previous week-end at the Indian Fort Theatre for the annual Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftmens Fall Fair.  The weather was outstanding on Saturday.,"not too hot....not to cold....but...just right"!  Sunday we fought  wind and gusts all day .... Mother Nature won.  We closed the show two hours early.  Good call by the President and Executive Director of the Guild.  The chance of a guest or exhibitor being injured due to the wind was not worth the added time to stay open.

I am working on the Holiday Art Fair which will be held November 15th and 16th in  Lexington at the Convention Center downtown.  I hope many of you can come and  and I  look forward to seeing everyone.

I am  excited and proud to announce that I have been juried into the Kentucky Arts Council, Kentucky Crafted Program.
 Program statement:

"In recognition  of artistic excellence, Pamela Clegg, has been selected to participate in the Kentucky Crafted , a program of the Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, which is supported by state tax dollars and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts."

I am enjoying this fall weather...hope you are also.
