I am looking ahead to local art events as 2025 has just begun . I will attend and get involved in local art organizations as well as displaying and entering in contests.

Join Contests: Biafarin

I have entered the fight against Cancer contest and got into the exhibition. Cancer- Never Give Up

I am about to enter the Light contest as well with recent pastels.

It is a totally different feeling to create specifically for a prompt though it really depends, can I see the image in my mind and if I can will it capture the idea that I am trying to describe. It is a great
challenge and experiment for my creative eye.

I am starting to allow myself the privilege to paint, sketch, create, whatever moves me at the moment without any need to censor. I am better at not censoring my words rather than my art.

I’ve always been skeptical of inspiration by prompt. The inspiration finds its image in its own time and place and does not allow for deadlines or prompting.

Local Involvement

Recently I  joined the Rockwall Art League- =
I haven’t participated but I am excited to start joining and participating in local art causes and events. I had previously  joined the Rowlett- Artist Round Texas and have competed in their plein Air show- Paint Rowlett which I plan on entering this year as well.

The gull image won a purchase prize as well as third place in its category and the horse image was from a previous year and won an honorable mention.

Wisdom of Sages:

I have embarked on an exciting journey to find my passion and it can be very overwhelming. I believe with the help of Kira Day from the The Passion Centre Inc.– we might be on to something.

I have already begun writing a new series of poems called The Landlord-Passion Sessions and it is a collection of poems about finding all the different elements in my creativity and allowing them to coexist.

Local Art Involvement

This next Thursday, I will be attending the LBT Gallery at the Tower Club in Dallas. I attended the Dallas Business Council of Arts  Canine Conversations art show and it was very enjoyable event.
