I made a quick trip back to Hawaii for the fall watercolor society show. I had three peices accepted, but no awards. Also took a week long workshop from Ann Pember, who does fantastic florals: annpember.com

Upon returning to California to catch up on projects with my other house and my Mother's house, my Mom became seriously ill and was in the hospital for 10 days, before passing away on Oct 26th. She was 91 and had a long and wonderful life. I miss her terribly, but know she is now with my Dad, and free from the pain she suffered for so many years. Now begins the process of executing the estate and taking care of the myriad of details. Most likely I won't be doing much painting, but then again it is so theraputic.

The award I won for the Window Washers in the HWS show was 36 tubes of M. Graham watercolors! Great prize!

This is a sad month for me, as I remember my Father who died a year ago, and my son who died 8 years ago, on Mother's Day.

My latest showing is at the Honolulu Country Club gallery, with 8 other artists. It is an "open" show, with no theme, and is not juried. I have 5 paintings in this show.

I'm awaiting word on acceptance of three paintings in the Hawaii Watercolor Society, juried Member's show. Should know by around the 18th.

Other than that, I'm coordinating a weeklong workshop, taught by Mary Ann Beckwith here in Honolulu, the end of the month. [link] ;and planning a trip to visit my Mom in California.

I also have 4 paintings on exhibit with 17 other artists in my Wednesday painting group. Our show is very high quality and worth seeing. Thru February at Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden Gallery, Luluku Rd., Kaneohe, HI. Gallery hours are 9AM to 4PM daily.

I've also had two paintings accepted in the Hawaii Watercolor Society (HWS) juried show that will also be on display at Pauahi Tower, 29 Sep - 25 Oct . (The paintings are Staghorn Madness, and the Orchid Tree, both in my DA gallery)

AND, I will have several paintings for sale at the WWINDWARD HO`OLAULE`A at Windward Community College, in Kaneohe, Sep 27 from 9AM to 4PM.

One of the reasons, has been preparing for 5 shows I'm doing this spring. Three juried and two non-juried exhibits:

Windward Wanderers III show - Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden Gallery

All Things Hawaiian show (Association of Hawaii Artists) - Honolulu Country Club

Hawaii Watercolor Society Members show - The Arts at Marks

Windward Artist Guild juried show - Exhibit Space, 1132 Bishop Street - Honolulu

Aloha show - juried, (Association of Hawaii Artists) - Honolulu Country Club.

Have painted a few times with my plein air group, but only one was worth matting - and it sold before I could take a photo of it!

I did get two paintings accepted in the Windward Artists Guild Members Exhibition show. It was a curated and not a juried show, but still good opportunity to get my name out there and get visibility for my work.

Sold more than half of my matted originals, and about 35 note cards.

They are glass fishing floats. They were used by the Japanese and Russians (and maybe others) to give bouyancy to their fishing nets. Over the years, they broke off and floated around, washing up on beaches and rocks around the world. These days most floats are plastic, but there are millions of the glass ones still floating around. Many people collect them and display them in baskets or arrangements. Some of them are as big as bowling balls, and have elaborate marcrame rope around them. Others are as small as 2-3 inches. These little balls intrigue me, just thinking of the amazing travels they've had. What stories they'd tell, if they could talk! ]]> ~baglady http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/7795788/ http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/7795788/ Sat, 04 Feb 2006 01:18:15 PST ~baglady http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/7604450/ http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/7604450/ Sat, 14 Jan 2006 18:42:30 PST ~baglady http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/7341365/ http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/7341365/ Sat, 17 Dec 2005 23:53:58 PST ~baglady http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/6714548/ http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/6714548/ Sat, 08 Oct 2005 17:45:39 PDT ~baglady http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/6478102/ http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/6478102/ Sun, 11 Sep 2005 15:19:12 PDT

The two paintings accepted are "Float Plan" and "Yesterday's Reflection", both in my DA gallery.

I've also signed up to do a week's workshop with Ong Kim Seng while he is in Hawaii. Looking forward to April! Don't expect to win any awards, given the competition, but it is an honor to be selected and to be exhibited with great artists. ]]> ~baglady http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/4145784/ http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/4145784/ Fri, 24 Dec 2004 12:47:07 PST

For those of you interested in, or looking for a good buy on watercolor paintings, here is a good opportunity. The Hawaii Watercolor Society's "Small Kine" show and sale is 6-17 July, at Mark's Garage in Honolulu (1159 Nuuanu Ave). Hours are 11AM to 6PM. The Gallery is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Largest format is 8 X 10, and prices are $30-100. This is extremely reasonable for original art - no prints!

I will have 12 of my smaller paintings for show and sale at this event. This is my first time exhibiting in a show/sale, and I hope to get a feel for what sells and for what price.

Maybe I'll find a patron! Ha! ]]> ~baglady http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/2364861/ http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/2364861/ Wed, 05 May 2004 11:16:26 PDT ~baglady http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/2148096/ http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/2148096/ Sun, 04 Apr 2004 01:17:22 PST ~baglady http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/2029993/ http://baglady.deviantart.com/journal/2029993/ Wed, 17 Mar 2004 12:13:00 PST

This seems like a great, and cheap, way to get more exposure for my work, and decorates his office for FREE.
