Today I met with Amanda at the Art Access Gallery to discuss the possibility of partnering up with an artist to exhibit my art. The exhibit is in August and I will have to work fast to complete some watercolor paintings.
Amanda said my strength lies in watercolor painting. She invited me to participate in the watercolor workshop tomorrow. I am very thrilled. I will get to meet with Jean again.
Amanda will be looking for an artist to work with me for twenty five hours.
This really feels like I am dreaming. I love art and may get to exhibit some of my work.

Family Art at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art
April 14, 2012 I volunteered at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art during their family art on the Second Saturday of this month.
The activity was mail art decorating envelopes to send our art anywhere in the world.
I was in charge of assisting children with stamping to ensure no color mixing happened.
I helped set up chairs and take down chairs and tables.
I was able to decorate a few envelopes to send to my brother Roger, and friends Brad and Elaine.
I had a good time.

Summer and Fall Classes at SLCC
I am now registered for an begining oil painting class this summer at Salt Lake Community College for the summer. This fall I will be doing a head studies oil painting class. I can't wait. I already have my oil paints and have been experimenting.
I really like how easy it is to paint all at once and not wait for the paint to dry in areas; like watercolor paints take. I bought some mineral oil and have been thinnning down the thick paint with it.
I painted a portrait of my niece and intend to enter it for the Nami art show. In the painting she is only a year and a half old. I finished the cupid's daughter painting size 18 x 24 inches, done in watercolor painting.
The last entry I will do is of a wavy color abstract painting I call Moody Blues.

Apple-store
I really like mac computers. I am using the apple-store's macbook pro. I was riding my bicycle around the lower level of Gateway mall. Some friends of mine were going to watch the movie "Push", but my friend is held up at work tonight.
I signed up for an oil painting class for the summer, starts in June. Maybe I can figure out how to paint with oils before then. I keep thinking about how I would like my painting to look like and when I work on it is nothing like I was imagining. The date for the NAMI art show is April 21.
I tried painting "Cupid's Daughter" in watercolor but the color is very dull and the piece is so large,19x24 inches. I don't think I can afford to frame or mat that size. I do have lots of 11x 14 mat boards leftover from last years NAMI art show. I want to finish the watercolor version and then make an oil edition of the piece.
Things keep coming up before I can get up to working on my art. On Monday I was so sick to my stomach. I couldn't keep anything down. I was so weak today from the lack of food or water.
