Another bit of news I have been sitting on is personal...

Lately I have also been a bit distracted searching out items like these...

baby girl slippers...

baby bibs...

cute baby shoes...

This is because I am expecting a little girl in late summer!

My plan is to keep painting and creating everyday, however some aspects of my schedule may change and adapt as the pregnancy moves forward.

This Saturday I took the bus up to NYC to deliver a painting for the Audubon Artists Annual Juried Show, hosted at the Salmagundi Club on Fifth Ave. This was my first time participating in the show and from the paintings I saw coming in, it is going to be a great show. A lot of beautiful work was accepted into the show and I am honored to be part of the show.

PS. Fall term is about to start again at the Alexandria Art League and I have a ton of loose ends to tie up before then, so I will not post for a bit and will not have an update for the copyist work I am doing at the NGA this week. Thanks and see you soon.

Salmagundi Show and Reception

{outside the Salmagundi Club on 5th Ave.}

Hello,

This Friday S. and I took the bus up to NYC to attend the Salmagundi Club Non-member show where my painting of the Three Apples on a Crate was accepted. It was an amazing afternoon and evening. We walked around NY visiting a gallery, having a wonderful meal, and then seeing all the great art in the show. The variety of subject matter and style was inspiring, encouraging me to experiment and strive more.

As the reception was winding down a kind attendee let me know that my painting was included on the show poster! S. and I had entered from the other side and had not seen the poster.

Here is a photo of me and my painting, the portrait above is the of a man named Berry, who founded one of the farmer's markets in NYC. The artist of this portrait thought it was fitting that my painting of green apples was placed below his portrait as a green apple is the symbol of this farmer's market.

Here are a few more photos of the reception.

On Saturday we spent the day at the Met, visiting the Picasso exhibit and touring other galleries, especially the European paintings. I took a lot of photos of various details from paintings that I found interesting.

Have a wonderful evening! Liz
