Orchids in Pink

I participated in the first Wholefoods Market Art Walk in Tustin last Friday. It was a positive experience, though not profitable (at least not that round). All the artists were super cooperative and kind to each other, and it was an easy setup since there was no tent needed and tables were provided. However, the layout of the art walk was a bit too narrow for comfort. The artists were cramped and the visitors were certainly cramped! It was not handicap accessible to say the least. However, this was their first time trying it and I commend Kim, the manager, for giving this a shot. It was also free to participate, so why the heck not? :) If they do it again I plan to be there.

At least during the art walk I did get some creative production time. I brought with me the orchids painting to work on. I got it up to a recognizable shape and form, but in no way are the shadows and highlights finished. This is a commissioned artwork which has been on the back burner for a while. I hope to have it and another commissioned piece finished before going to North Carolina in July.
