This week is all about painting

I am looking forward to painting most of this week. It will be great painting outside and in the studio!

I am looking forward to hearing Star Sosa, owner of Spectrum Gallery, speak about social networking for artists. It will be at 6:30 PM, Thursday, Sept 10 at the Arboretum. The talk is open to the public free of charge and sponsored by the Wilmington Art Association. A long-time Wilmington resident, Star is a jewelry designer who has been a craft show exhibitor, gallery exhibitor, buyer and gallery owner. Through her travels doing trunk shows in galleries all over the country she has learned how other people approach the business of art and jewelry; she has taken this knowledge and distilled it into Spectrum Gallery. Star’s beautiful website and her other interactive placements have led to her belief in the advantages of Marketing Your Art on the Web and other Creative Venues.

I love hearing the sea buoy when walking Bell before sunup - it is a low, rolling sound, and one that is soothing. You can just see it rocking on the waves when you hear it.
