I watch way too much TV, I will be honest, but there are few programs that I actually enjoy watching.
I LOVE WATCHING PROJECT RUNWAY!
It is so much fun to watch and it is a show that Chris loves too, so we watch it is a couple.
I really love fashion and at one time in my life, really wanted to be a fashion designer/costume designer.
Didn’t happen, can’t sew worth a bean (and boy can these people sew!). So I live vicariously through them via reality TV. Works for me!
Speaking of Reality TV, have you heard of Star Portrait? My mum was telling me about it. It sounds fabulous. Right up my ally! Anyway, I haven’t watched it but plan on it. It is on Bravo and three portrait artists have two weeks to finish a portrait of a famous Canadian.
(YES, THERE ARE SO FAMOUS CANADIANS!)
I like the fact that it is not set up like big brother. Can you imagine a whole bunch of portrait artist living in a house together for weeks on end? No?
ARTIST #1: Did you see the way she painted his nose! Who the hell does she think she is!
ARTIST #2: Ya, well I heard that she only cleans her paint water once a week.
ARTIST #1 NO!
Not exactly riveting stuff.
Night Of Artists Nov 5, 6, 7 2009- Art Barns, Edmonton
mixed media on paper, 10″x13″ (GUESS WHO?)
As some of you may know, I have been accepted into Night Of Arists this year. This is very exciting for me. I remember, ages ago, traveling around Alberta while Chris performed at several NOA events. It was always a great night and yet, a little hard for me. Here were all of these great artists doing their thing. Putting themselves out there and I was too much of a coward to let anyone see my art. I really did hide away and sometimes would go months if not more without drawing or painting at all. Can you say envious? Or, I will be honest, JEALOUS? It felt kind of lousy, even though I was there celebrating and supporting my husband’s music and drinking in the beautiful art surrounding me, deep in the pit of my belly, it hurt.
SO GUESS WHAT?????? Now I get to REALLY celebrate NOA the way it should be celebrated. For the first time.
I have to tell you, hopefully without sounding like a cocky-cockhead, I am really proud of myself. Yeah me!
AND
Thank you Denise, Chris R. and Sandra b/c I know you bugged Phil to let me in. And thanks Phil for listening to those three wise women.
NOW I BETTER START PAINTING OR I WON”T HAVE ANYTHING TO SHOW! YIKES!
