What A Weekend!

 

 I had a wonderful time at the RMCAD Watertower Art + Craft Market this past Saturday! That's me under my tent that was wonderfully supplied for me. It was my savior. It.Was. So. Hot. Met so many wonderful people! Thank you to everybody that came out! My favorite part of the day were handing out those balloons behind me. I passed them out to kids and drew whatever their cute hearts desired.

These are some of the goodies that I sold at my table! 

 What else have I been up to? Well about two weeks ago I've had the wonderful experience of teaching an art summer class to kiddos between the grades of 4 to 8. I carved the hummingbird above out of linoleum as a demo for them and I liked it so much that I decided to make prints and cards out of it.

I Put a Bird on It

Painted with gouache. Had a lot of fun with these guys! It's been a crazy busy week of painting and painting and painting. Even more to come, enjoy!

Also, I just made a Society6 store! Just in time for the holidays. PLUS there is a deal going on at Society6 until this sunday night (12/8/13) so check it out!

To get ready for CTN I revamped the flower portrait a little and made business cards! I really liked how they turned out, can't go wrong with having some business cards nearby.
