Here's a few highlights from this past weekend at the Lincoln Art and Balloon Festival.
I can't emphasize enough how much I enjoy talking to all the different people who visit my booth...especially my little admirers! They are so cute. :)











Several little girls came into the tent and asked if I would draw them, which was hugely flattering and exciting at the same time as I'm always needing models.  I'm looking forward to our first photo shoot...I have some really exciting ideas for new paintings that I'm itching to do.  After this next month's show are complete, I'll be heading back to the drawing board for some intensive painting sessions in which I hope to feature my new models doing fun things like riding animals and playing with puppets.

See the blond in the top photo?  She's one of my volunteer models and is going to make for a beautiful portrait painting!  Oh!  I'm so excited!

*And don't you just love the old suitcases?  They add such character to my booth.  My collection is growing...

I do love vintage suitcases! It looks like the tan/orange one is an old typewriter case... I see it still has the key! Do you happen to have the typewriter that goes with it?

nope. i just bought the case and told them i didn't want the typewriter. was that a mistake? i know sometimes those typewriters are valuable...i just didn't need it. :)

Love your work! Noelle & I went home and hung her art work in her bedroom...she has bright green walls so "Her Fancy Ride" looks amazing in there!

Thank you for your time in answering Noelle's questions. You truly inspired her...she talked about you & your art work all the way back home to Petersburg...again, thank you!
