Art Crawl 2012

Better late than never..is what they say.  This was about three weeks ago.

Every year a large group of Houston artists open up their studios to the public and call it the Art Crawl.  We decided to tour the studios that were a bit off the beaten path and this is what we saw.  Move on over NYC, Houston is coming to get you!

I've been off the radar for a couple of weeks, working on four watercolor paintings for a client's bathroom.  She had a beautiful Moroccan  pillow where I drew my inspiration from.  It had some metallic silver fabric to it as well, so I decided to incorporate that in the paintings.

Sugar & Spice

What a day.  Liz and I had high hopes of decorating sugar cookies with the girls.  Of course we had day dreamed of Martha Stewart's perfect cookies you see in her magazine or on her show,  but we can honestly say that the girls mostly ate their cookies and sugary frosting instead of focusing on the decorating part.  Well, at least we had fun trying and we now have good memories of the two young ladies running around the house on a sugar high!

Yum. Yum. 

Finger painting is so much more fun than using a brush!

Little Houston Boat

My brother-in-law and his wife live in Newport, Rhode Island and work on a beautiful sailboat.  They will be here for Thanksgiving so I guess this little collage/ painting is a celebration of them coming home to Houston.

Sunday Market

Met some nice people, watched kids play and sold some art.  I believe it was a successful evening and no rain!

Chinese Panda Bears

One day I would like to visit China so I can see these beautiful contrasting animals in the wild. But, for now, I will continue to paint them as subject matter. :)
