Last Saturday, I was able to get out of the house and attend a free Beethoven concert at the Fargo Public Library. If I have my materials handy, I can sketch and listen to beautiful music at the same time. I use a thin Sharpie marker because it is quiet and doesn’t bother my neighbors as the sound of lead might do. I mostly scribble what I see and I don’t worry about accuracy….Do I need to know the exact number of strings on a cello? Is it important? Not to me. What I noticed mostly is how this cellist bent his fingers in bizarre, strange ways to press the strings. I did about a dozen quick sketches then took them home and splashed some paint on them. This is what I love about sketching-free, easy, and it gives comfort to my inner being….Listening to Beethoven tunes at the same time…priceless.
Do I need to count the strings?
Perfect Gift for any Bison Fan!
Congratulations to the NDSU Bison Football Team which recently won its 4th National Championship in Frisco, Texas! It was the most exciting football game I have ever watched! On this high note, I am happy to announce that my Five- pack Bison card sets are now available for purchase in two downtown art galleries: Gallery 4 Gift Shop at 114 North Broadway in beautiful downtown Fargo and the Red Door Art Gallery in beautiful downtown Wahpeton, North Dakota, ( my hometown). These colorful card sets are sealed in clear plastic wrappers for $22.00. This is the perfect gift for friends and family, especially those who are fans of the Thundering Herd.
Great news to share!
I am happy to announce that I have recently been juried into Gallery 4 as their newest artist. Gallery 4 is located at 114 North Broadway in downtown Fargo. I am excited about this new venture as I will be involved in displaying my work there, along with spending 2-3 days a month working there to have direct contact with customers. The artists at Gallery 4 are a wonderful group of people and I am excited to be a part of this band of creative souls. We not only have a wonderful gallery space, but an additional gift shop, where I will be selling small, matted works and my “Little Originals”, which are hand-painted cards with a personal touch. Monday, December 1st is my first day as a Gallery 4 artist. The hours there are 11:00-5:00 daily. I hope to see you in December!
