I’ve been busy getting ready for the Eureka Springs Sunday Market Artist Bazaar, which begins may 7th. Charlotte and Elaine, who organize and run the market and lots of other fun events in our town, came by last week and I showed them all my paintings. Charlotte liked the girls best and said that’s totally hot, in like, Seattle, where she came here from, but that she wasn’t so sure if we had the scene to support it. They saw the painted pants I had done for Robin and began pulling pictures of painted clothing from the Nieman Marcus catalog for me. Nothing much of interest to me in the styles we saw there! We looked at the Peepeyes and Elaine recommended using the pull tabs from cans as hangers on the backs of them. Charlotte played with the little peepeyed critters and said they’d be great as finger puppets. Elaine loved the great blue heron chair. We had a very quick visit and they were off, Charlotte exclaiming that I had enough for a store. Well, that’s the idea with the Sunday Market coming up so fast. I’ve been painting shirts. The ones in the photo above are kids tees. My godson really likes the one with the tree and the bubbles and water as well as the sparkly dragon. I’ve been working on a second batch which will include tees for big people. One day soon, I’ll get back to the painting of the lake. In the meantime, I’m going to write a pack list for the market and wind down for bed.

Hey Kat, Lovin your art. And taking your example, my art is blooming. Just winding down the jewelry season, getting ready for the candle, solid lotion, and PAINTING stuff. Was so good to meet you and R. I yearn to move there, what a wonderfully free environment.

Thanks, Shel! I was looking at your necklace and wishing you well today and now I find your comments. People in Eureka are always pointing out synchronicities like that. It is joyful here in this little village overflowing with artists. I am still working away on a couple pieces, working on a new show, and as you can see, cranking out the smaller and quicker items to add to the Sunday Artist Market inventory. That’s pure fun and silliness and the kids are loving the designs. Good luck with your art, how exciting that you are taking up painting!
