Another collage

This is one that I made about 3 years ago, it's called "Eat your greens, and then we'll roast marshmallows!"
This is a close up, in person - you can see that the marshmallow is 3-D.

Gotta get back to art! ...aRRRt I mean...

 I must admit to having a lot of great and exciting plans for the store this year... so my time will be divided...but I haven't forgotten to do art.

The first thing coming to the store is the RE cycle show. Art with 3 R's. Artists Mediums REDUCE, RE-USE, RECYCLE  Exhibit.
There is  still a CALL for ARRRT! Go to the store's website at http://www.artistsmediums.com/ or the Artists' Mediums blog. (ALL artists are invited! ...nudge...nudge...)

 These shows have always been a lot of fun!
 You have to see it to believe what people can make out of garbage.
  I HAD two pieces that would fit the theme,but over the past few days, I have finished two more collages.
So I will have a total of four pieces in the show: 3 collage and one 3-D.
The collages are made from seed and bulb catalogs:
so fresh off the presses, I haven't even named them yet.
I seemed to have lost track of the phot of the other one...will post again soon.

Retail Holiday sales, and inventory

Just in case anyone was wondering why I seemed to have fallen off the edge of the map.
I work Retail, at a fabulous store called Artists Mediums Inc. (http://www.artistsmediums.com/)

This means I have been putting in a lot of hours...
and inventory takes even more of my time...
The staff helps me by helping to count everything in the store, but I spend an awful lot of hours doing the data entry for inventory....so hopefully after I finish up inventory, and we plan out some of the coming year for the store, I may just get back into the artwork.

My oil paints are dry.
I am trying to decide.
I would like to try some more watercolors...
or I could mix another batch of oil,
since I have a friend who has commissioned me to paint a portrait of his dog...
Soon... soon...
