It's been almost a month and a half since the last post on this blog, so I thought I would break the silence and write a little bit. We had a great meeting on March 7th at the Davis Art Museum and then back at my house. It was great to have so many people show up and bring their artwork, enthusiasm and lunches! I think everyone really enjoyed the exhibitions at the Davis. They hang things not always in chronological order, but in relative terms of subject matter, which is more thought provoking and interesting, in my opinion!
I also wanted to share the mock-up I received today of the new Derwent "Soft Graphite" Pencil tin that will be coming out in July. They're using the piece they commissioned from me, and have put it on the front cover. Needless to say, I'm very excited about this! (And please, not that anyone would, but no transferring of this image anywhere else, since it's still in the "planning" stages).
Judging by the lack of posts these past 6 weeks, I imagine everyone is busy getting ready to submit work to Nationals. Maybe everyone can share what piece(s) they are submitting? I'm planning to submit "Garden, Late Summer" and "Nocturne at Sea", both of which are on my website at present.
