The Asheville Show!!!

I must admit, this was pretty exciting for me. I have never had a solo show in a state in which I do not live, let alone a state that is a couple of states away! This was the longest trip I have taken by myself in my life, and I'm a tad bit scared of long distance driving, so in many ways it was a personal victory :) What's even cooler is the night I got into Asheville, (after the longest drive I've ever taken), I found out I got into nursing school! I was sitting there, grabbing a bite to eat, checking my email on my internet phone, and there was the "email of acceptance!" It was a great weekend! :) And it was so AWESOME to show my work at The Lola Salon and Gallery. It's such a cute place, and the people are SO nice! (They do great hair cuts as well)!-- if you are in the Asheville area and need a great hair style, or some cool art, I'd highly recommend checking them out! Anyhoo...here's some pics from the show-- Enjoy!

Dirty Chickens!!!!!

Rumor has it not only did she carry a watermelon, she is also a fowl dancer... ;) Here is the latest chicken painting! This one was done in gouache and measures 5 by 7 inches. I've always been very fond of "Dirty Dancing," so making a chicken painting of a scene from the movie seemed appropriate. In fact, I may do more than one...we will see!

Mr. Chicken Gets a Day Job...#15A

After the cancellation of his highly acclaimed PBS series, Mr. Chicken is distraught to the extent of wanting to hack off his ear. Instead of resorting to such drastic measures, he puts down the palette and opts to get a day job in a quaint little Pennsylvania town. Here he becomes a top salesman of paper goods, all the while donning the most dashing of trends in office wear...Naturally, as a result he becomes quite the lady killer-- the spectacles say it all of course...just don't ask what else is in the beet pie....

(It's another freaky little painting in my Mr. Chicken series! :) http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32599861
