Let me tell you about Jim, in his "previous life" he has been a magazine publisher and has served on the boards of theater and dance companies, and he is a published author. His wife and daughter are both "creatives" and artists. Jim is genuinely interested in all that goes on in the art world, and especially in the with local area. He enjoys "matchmaking" and putting artists together with those who support the arts. If you are an artist, I encourage you to get in touch with Jim, and tell him about your work... tell him I sent you!
Over at Examiner.com, James George, the intrepid Arts Reporter for Arlington has written a nice article about my upcoming show. You can find it here.

Spring Flowers continue to be big sellers, as "Double Daylily" sold at the Arlington Artists Alliance show over the weekend. I had a chance to chat with the new owners, who are big arts supporters (which I love!) and even though they didn't know exactly where "Double Daylily" was going to hang in their house, they loved the colors and brightness. I painted this piece, in acrylic, but painting an abstract underpainting first in orange, then adding the greens of the leaves, and wiping off and adding on more paint to build layers. Then I added more orange paint to show the structure of the flower. The daylilies are about to bloom again, so I might have to head back out to the garden and paint some more! Big Weekend Ahead.... the Artful Weekend at Fort CF Smith Park, in Arlington County, VA. This is a highly successful weekend-long art show that I conceived and have planned for 10 years, involving over 40 artists! It is always a whole lot of fun, with great artists and wonderful patrons in a dream-like setting (for artists, anyway) of an early 1900's converted farmhouse, that is also a Civil War fort site. The Hendry House, on the property, is open to the public and full of art for the weekend. I can't wait to see what all the artists bring! We will have it all hung and ready for viewing by the opening tomorrow night from 6-8pm. Hope everyone will come on out to Ft. Smith. The week-long Arlington Artists Alliance ArtFest kicks off tonight with a FREE reception at the Hendry House at Ft. CF Smith in Arlington. This is always a great week of FREE workshops and fun events. Check out all the events at: http://www.arlingtonartistsalliance.org/ The artwork is all hung and ready to be viewed.... I know, since my colleagues Linda Maldonado, Marie Baumann and I spent the morning hanging the show. There are some really beautiful pieces are really reasonable prices! Some that really caught my eye are by Elise Ritter, and Nan Morrison. The reception is tonight from 6pm to 8pm... Hope to see you there! Cat 5 is at the ArtFest! by Elisabeth Hudgins |
Elisabeth HudginsI have been an artist all of my life. I can't help it. Drew on the walls in kindergarten, painted pictures in high school, went to Art School, worked as an art director, started painting again. And am loving it. Archives
