Art Openings this Weekend

Out and About Norfolk Plein Air Event opens this weekend at Waterside in Norfolk. 40 Artists from the mid-Atlantic are painting for two days in the city of Norfolk and their works (mine too...) will be displayed at a wet painting sale Saturday night. Each artist can display 3 pieces, so that should be around 120 paintings fresh off the easel! The evening starts at 7 pm, everyone is invited and 15.00 at the door gets you food and drink and lots of great art. If you buy, your admission price is refunded against the price of the painting. Hope you can make it.
Also, on Sunday, the Charles Taylor Center for the Arts in Hampton opens with the Miniature Works Invitational. All work is very small and this includes 3-dimensional pieces. I have seen some of the pieces when I dropped my stuff off and I must say this is a pretty incredible show. The show opens at 2pm with a reception that is always full of good food and lots of interesting conversation to go along with the art.
I will be painting all day again today, and hope that the wind dies down a bit from yesterday. The light was glorious, which was a relief from the rains that poured on Tuesday. Also, I am no longer showing my work at Olde Towne Art in Portsmouth, but  Blue Skies Gallery in Hampton has a number of my pieces which can also be seen at http://www.blueskiesart.com/ .
And my last thought for today...Thank you so much for the many phone calls and well wishers for all the stuff that has happened recently! It means alot and I am grateful for all of the encouragement and advice I have received!
