Upcoming events!

Wow, everyone! Sorry I've been m.i.a. lately! I feel like life has gotten crazy! Ironically, it is art related things keeping me from art and all of you. I have two shows coming up. This Friday, for one night only, Eclectic Art Social Club (that's me, Mary Liz Ingram, Dariana Dervis, Chi Roach, Cecily Hill Lowe, and Sunny Carvalho) presents "Eclectic Cool: The Colors of Calm" at Parkside Bar in Avondale, AL. Then, November 3-4 I'll be at Moss Rock Festival in Hoover, AL. I'll post more info on that later. Oh, and in between those 2 shows my sweet baby girl turns 1! Can you believe it's been a year!? I can't!

Today's featured artist...

A sample of Cecily's miniature Guatemala paintings

Today's featured artist is Birmingham's own Cecily Hill Lowe (aka CHill Art).  She does these amazingly beautiful abstracts using acrylic wash. Sometimes people look at abstracts and think, "Anyone could do that," simply because they don't understand the skill that goes into creating the composition and manipulating the paint. Trust me, I could not do what Cecily does. Currently, Cecily is selling miniature paintings to fund a mission trip to Guatemala. The paintings are acrylic wash on paper and they're tiny- 3"x4"- so you don't have to worry about finding wall space for them. They'll fit anywhere. Plus, they're only $25 a piece! Don't miss out on that! To view them, check out Cecily's blog.

Once again I have to apologize for being an absentee blogger. I'll make this my last apology. Not because I will never agin be so untimely in my posts, but because I will just trust that you understand that with a baby on the way, I'm a little distracted. I'm officially 31 weeks now and we still have to basically rearrange the whole house to make a nursery... and all I want to do is sleep and eat. :) Now I'm off to have second breakfast. Take care!
