This is the first of hopefully a string of blogs about my trip to London for the Elephant Parade London 2010. This initial phase of the Exhibit is the painting portion of the project. I am geared up to start painting and glad the flight will have movies as I will probably not sleep much. I am ready to create, design and get to the idea in my mind of how I want this to look! I am bringing my camera and plan on taking several hundred photos of the painting process over the next 10 days! Gotta Run! More Soon!

I would like to take moment to say welcome to my website! There have been several new looks in the three years it has been up and running, and right now is no exception. My website is now blog which allows me to update it daily if needed as news and progress develops. In the past six months we have been blessed with a tremendous amount of projects, shows and works in progress.

I wanted to leave some photos up of the old look, so that you the viewer might have a preview of what is to come. Here is what will be New or updated in Janaury 2010: New Front Page, Online Store (newer format than the old one), Links to Blogs, Facebook, and Twitter, schedule and listing of shows, donation page & button, work in progress information , and contact page.

The website will be streamlined, and a few things trimmed, to better help you navigate through the site. And my favorite part the new map of where my art now resides. I like this part as it makes the art more personal and recognizes the owners: which city they live in, and what they own. It also shows other visitors where my Art has been seen, and I feel makes this much more personal. Truly I want to honor each of my clients in a way I think is appropriate.

Looking forward to sharing the latest news with you!

I have six days to get ready for London…which is more than enough to pack my clothes, brushes, etc. But I am deep in thought about the potential of this trip. This is my first International Art Show, which is Huge for me and my family. We are very excited and humbled to be a part of such a great cause. I have so many thoughts of who will see my work, who will walk right by, who will make it a daily visit for the 90 days it’s installed, who will have missed it,and who might dismiss it because of where I am from. I hope, like with all my work, it speaks to people, in a positive way, and people for a few moments are drawn into the work, to escape or supplement their day. I offer brush strokes of paint which I hope will align with the ideas in my head….which can take much longer than the 7 days I have to paint. So in the next six days, I’ll be sketching, planning and assessing.

I hope you liked this post, as I am trying to reach my audience with intelligent words, contrasted to the snippets of information I have been sending.

If you have you donated, thank you…you have made our lives here at home much easier. If you have yet to donate, please consider where I am in my career of Art, and how worthy of a cause the Elephant Parade is!

Have a good evening, or day or morning…. I sometimes forget about the time zones!

I am excited to announce a new work of mine being displayed at the Plaza Theater in Atlanta, Georgia! The Plaza Theater has a theme each month, a few months ago was “Stencil Art”, last month was “Kurt Russell”, and this months is: “Conspiracy”. I am honored to be invited to show one of my original pen and ink drawings. The work is for sale and looks to be an exciting show, as well as the movies! By the way, The Plaza Theater is the oldest running movie theater in Atlanta…please go check it out.!
