My Art Events for the Month of May
I have 4 art exhibits going this month. The first is at Wild Fork Restaurant in Utica Square where 40 of my paintings are hanging for the month of May. I am joined there by several of my students from TCC, Zieglers and one high school student who takes private lessons with me. The rest of the exhibits occur during Mayfest where I will have two paintings hanging at the Invitational Gallery, one at the May Rooms and I will have a booth at the Blue Dome Festival. I will be joined there by mosaic artist, Caryn Brown, stone carver, Richard Dreher, and jeweler/painter, Louise Higgs. Since the space is small I will be selling very affordable 6x6 paintings. There will be a series of local/regional musicians and Oklahoma skies. I will also have Tulsa Spirit posters for sale and brick orders to raise funds for the next installment of the Tulsa Art Parkway. If you haven’t seen the first installement, drive on up the street and visit it at Denver and Fairview. As always, my work can be viewed and purchased at http://midwest-fine-art.com

Quartz Mountian High sponsored by OVAC
Just got back from an awesome weekend at Quartz Mountian where I was asked to speak on the " art of selling art online" by OVAC Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition. I had a blast and got to meet some of Oklahoma's finest artists and teachers. Not only did I have a great time in the workshop but also painting on site. here are a few little paintings which, I might add are now hanging at my show at the Wild Fork in Tulsa.

Local leaders have announced "Tulsa Lawyers for the Arts," a new program that will provide legal assistance and educational programming to artists and arts organizations in Oklahoma for little to no cost.
What a great idea. One for which I am very thankful..... Not that I need a lawyer right now but one never knows. I think I can speak for the art community when I say we are grateful to Tulsa's fine lawyers for their gift to the art community ( and for buying our work :-) Below is the news release from the Tulsa World.

According to a news release, the program draws inspiration from existing programs in other cities and also an effort to encourage local art and music.
Mayor Kathy Taylor said: "Art keeps a community vital and enhances the quality of life. It helps define our culture as a city."
Through the program, artists will be paired with participating attorneys to discuss legal issues and to resolve arts-related disputes outside traditional legal framework, including contracts, copyright and trademark issues, wills, trusts and estates, First Amendment issues, mediation and landlord-tenant issues.
For more information, call 584-5243 or go online to tulsaworld.com/tulsabar.By ALTHEA PETERSON, World Staff Writer

Dogwoods 11x14
I had the pleasure of attending a workshop this weekend given by Jo Anna Arnett as she was one of the featured artists at the Gilcrease Museum for their annual big show. Over the weekend we had the opportunity to both paint outside in the beautiful grounds at the Gilcrease and painted still life sketches as well inside. This is one of the sketches that I did this weekend. I brought it home and did a bit more finishing details on it and here it is. She uses a little bit different method for painting flowers which I enjoyed learning and will enjoy playing around with a bit. I have this on auction on ebay this week or you can buy it now here for $125.

Osage Boys
Every now and then I take a break from the norm and play around with photoshop. I took photos of my kids and then added one of my husband ( that is a little tricky to size right ) and manipulated the phot using photoshop. Then the next fun part.... Painting the photo onto canvas in oil. I decided that i was having so much fun that I would offer to paint similar ones for the general population. I charge only $200 for a 16x20 oil painting ( plus shipping if you are out of town ) contact me at artistswaygallery ( at ) yahoo.com I am trying to avoid spiders so I put the word ( at ) in place of @... To contact me put the @ back in it's usual place... don't know if I am wasting my time w trying to trick the trackers but it is worth a try. Anyways you would email me your photo and I will email back to you the manipulated image for your approval before I start to paint. Hope someone takes me up on this as I am itching to do another one:-) If you want to see more of my formal portraits and still lifes and landscapes you can check out my ebay site here

If you remember several months ago I shared ... come to think of it this all started several years ago... time flies. Anyways our monument is finally going up at the south enterance to the neighborhood. It is our gift to the city of Tulsa and cronicles 4 eras in Tulsa's history beginning with pre statehood, oil boom, 50s-70s, and our vision for the future. I originally designed the panels. A couple of them were revised and enhanced by our mosaic artist, Caryn Brown. More pics to follow as the grouting and cap and landscaping get done. What a great project! Thanks to all who made this happen.

Now for something completely different... A friend of mine builds and repairs violins. He asked for me to paint this blank and give it back to him to dress up properly. It will get all the goodies from him and be a beautiful, playable instrument soon. For more of my work check it out here and if you would like to go to my blog click here

My brother, Bill is a surfer and since I am stuck out here in the middle of nowhere ( Oklahoma ) I had to rely on him to send me some great pics of him surfing. I miss the beach and this is about as close as I am going to get this year w the gas prices being what they are. Anyways this is a bit new for me so any feedback would be appreciated. I put this for sale as a giclee on ebay and then worked on it two more times today since I posted that picture and one more time since I posted this picture! The wave is a little higher and more rounded now. Let me know what you think. I will post the final pic on ebay tomorrow... You can check out my ebay site to see my more traditional work by clicking here.. ebay to find out more about me and my work go to my blog
