Hanging Day

TAAA DAAA! Of course I can't give you all any normal picture for the day. It is in my nature to do a TAaa DAaa!

The day went very well. My friend Gina, who is an art consultant and set the whole thing up, even came out to help me hang. Thanks Gina. And my sweet husband worked his photo magic and gave me the Tme-Out week.. Thanks baby. I am so glad that i pushed myself so hard this week. Even if I don't sell a thing, I have really enjoyed all that I have learned and I will have gotten quite a few pieces done for the shows that are starting in April. Thanks everyone for putting up with my crazy self this past week. XXOO

Enjoy!

Spring re-post

Some people have said that they cannot really see the detail in the spring flower that was in my last post. Here is a better pic for you guys.

LAST DAY-Time Off Week

By Michele Lee copyright 2008 8"x10" acrylic on board

Well ,well, well, my week has come to an end. Sad but true. I have had so much fun! I hope you all have too. (hey that rhymes) OK back to the story....Monday I go hang all the new pieces, along with some older ones, at HAL. Then it's back to "Mommyville". Now, don't get to thinking that there will be no art. I just have to go back to regular hours. So there will just be less art. Let's recap shall we?
1. Learned some new techniques
2. Worked with lots of different music (favorite is still
instrumental)
3. Didn't drink (always a favorite)
4. Didn't cook ANY meals! (thank you Greg)
5. Talked with God a lot! (he says hi)
6. Learned that TOO much time alone makes Shelly a little
crazy! (hard to converse with people after being locked
in the studio all day and night)
7. Learned a LOT of discipline (contrary to my previous belief...I liked it)
8. Learned a whole lot about this computer. (still have a long long way to go on that one)
9. Learned that there is a LOT of stuff in my head! (can't paint fast enough to get it out...what's
up with that?)



Here is the final painting for the week. I am going to call her "Spring". I tried a new technique today and it helped that it was 65 and sunny. I can't hardly wait until things really start to bloom. My soul is ready for it! COME ON SPRING!

Enjoy!

ARGGGG HAL is coming!

OK first let me say HAAAAA to all of you who come to my house on a regular basis. See it's not always clean. I even had to crop out the kitchen area because of the tremendous MESS!

With that being said.....my coffee nooke has turned into a art warehouse in prep for the HAL showing! Hopefully I can get it all together befor Monday when I have to go hang.

Day 6-Time Out Week

By Michele Lee copyright 2008 16"x20" Acrylic on Board

I think she might be done....can't decide. I really enjoyed making her. I wonder what she is thinking about in that garden of hers? After I posted my last post about her I got an e-mail. The e-mail said that THIS girl has already been in her and that it was very weird to see her now in reality on canvas. That is so moving to me. That is the exact reason I do art! It's not about the fame and glory (not that I have any...but if I did;). It is simply to give something back. Now don't get me wrong...a little money never hurts, but usually the prices of my paintings just reimburse my addiction. (That being art supplies, so don't go get any crazy thoughts) So this one goes out to Carol ( CA Mark's Stiletto Irrevernce ) . I have decided to name her simply............"In Me"

Enjoy!
