trial runner

I am participating in a fund raiser next Saturday night, the ArtBlink Gala.  Eighteen artists will create works in 90 minutes to be available in silent auctions to raise money for UAB"s Cancer Center's fund for Excellence.  Click on the link for more information.  I have decided to paint a still life similar to this one. Working out the kinks with a trial run will make me feel a little more comfortable while painting in front of Lots of people. I set it up from life in my studio and took a picture of it that I will work from Saturday night.  We will start with a blank canvas and create our pieces in a hour and a half.  Fun to watch, buy and support. This one is painted on a 12 x 24 x 2" canvas.  I am going to paint it on an 18 x 36" Saturday.

The winner of "candy striper" is Jo from Texas.  I promise to do more give aways in the future.  Thanks for taking the time to subscribe to my blog.

This morning I have one spot left in my March 18 and 19 workshop.  It is smart to get on a waiting list even if it is full.  Many times a signee will have a last minute  conflict come up.
I am planning on having the March 31 and April 1 workshop as well.  Contact me at carolcarmike@att.net for more information.sold
