Right now I am completely enjoying doing mixed media pieces. I have sent for some new materials and will follow up with articles on them. Many of the art materials companies are developing new products all of the time and it is exciting. The new products are usually safer (many art supplies have heavy metals in them like cadmium and cobalt) and longer lasting. Many are eliminating solvents and using water instead so clean up is easier.

Pastel Journal Oct. 2009
I finally got around to reading the October issue of Pastel Journal. On article I found very interesting was on why you should paint the same scene 100 times. It was about really stretching yourself as an artist to go way past what you typically paint.
Another article covered a pastel painter who does semi-abstract pastels Frederick D. Somers - really gorgeous pastels.
Meadowdale Show
Meadowdale library is brand new. As my son and I approached it for the first time, I looked around to see where the Vivaldi was coming from and then realized it was coming from the library. My art is hung in their large conference room -- nice display area!
People are voting there today so maybe there will be sales!
