Marco Island Foundation for the Arts...new shows on the Island.

I met Carolyn Burger, who is President of the MIFA, and she suggested I think about doing the new Brushes and Paints shows this season. NO tents, no pressures...just set up, show a few original paintings, paint on a new canvas while visiting with art lovers~ What could be more fun!

I sent in 3 samples of my work and now I'll just wait to see if I get approved!

1/30/08 This is what my daughter posted on her blog...I guess all moms hope their children understand them a little and it seems like I got my wish!

My mom rocks.
Not really posting for me this time. I did get my artistic gene from my Mom. And YOU ALL need to go see what she does. Mom spent most of her life as a professional studio and wedding photographer. She was incredible at what she did with the camera, though she claimed that it wasn't the film that was her medium, it was working people. She helped people be genuine, and that led to great photographs. But that was her past life. She's retired now. And she went through some artistic phases, including watercolors, which she loved, but didn't have the right feel for them. She's finally arrived at the medium that she was meant for - oils. Please go see her work:( http://lmwright.blogspot.com/) And if you like what you see, please leave her a comment and let her know. And if you know someone else who would appreciate seeing some well-done paintings full of a great woman's soul, please pass the link on! Thanks!
