the preview is postponed

alas.
it is early, and yet late behind my eyes. know what i mean? my sincerest paint-stained apologies, but the preview from the studio is postponed. there are all these factors like internet access, digital camera memory cards and hard drive space that I won't bore you with. So, go on out there now to first week of Jazz Fest, (see you out there) and I'll be back next week with the preview. Thank you for all the inquiries, studio visits, words of encouragement and support. I'm very proud of the work I have created recently and look forward to sharing with you soon.

nighty night.

Stay tuned...

Cross your fingers, kiss my elbow, pinky in the sky, wish on a cloud, pat on the back, sugar smack, fortune cookie, stars aligned!!! Stay tuned folks because tomorrow, that's right, less than 24 hours, I will be posting an update from the studio (where I have been, in case you've been wondering!:) which will include a few images of brand spankin new spring collection paintings and stitch pieces. I know... I hate waiting too.
I'm back to the easel for a late one.

oh, and in case I failed to mention it enough, the grand revealing of these new works is in just one week-ish at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival! where I will be showing for the first time, in Contemporary Crafts area. (Look for me somewhere near the Blues Tent.) appropriately ;)
and if you want first pick, come early on Thursday (April 30), or send me a email requesting to be in on the pre-release.

ok, I really do have to go now. paint is drying. i'm stealing internet. these bones are tired!

Showing Tomorrow

This will be my last showing until Jazz Fest. This festival has really grown in recent years! 3 music stages, food, beer, art, craft, thrift, produce... wow, I wish I were shopping. Come on out tomorrow, the weather looks grand for a day on Freret St, shuffle to the music, with a nice big sturdy fabric tote on your shoulder for all your findings! (don't worry, I deliver. :) I'm looking forward to: Zydepunks, Kermit Ruffins, Jeremy Davenport, crab cakes by Food from the Heart (mmmmm), pepper jelly, Pontchatoula Strawberries, and ice-cold gelato from La Divina... and of course showing my art you all of you! (my favorite thing ever ;)
This is what Spring in New Orleans is all about! (and why we live here!)

See you out there.
