Mary Freebed Show

It has been awhile.  I have been quit down and did not know if I would continue to compete.  Well I turned the tied and entered 3 pictures into the Mary Freebed Show.  It is a show for individuals that are in some way disabled.  The people who sponsor  the show are great and always make me feel both welcome and appreciated.  They seem to enjoy my work and assure me I am accepted.  I give thanks to God that there are still people like this in the world.

Lane Cooper

This is a watercolor painting of one of my good friends.  He has been a very positive influence on me.  He also has been the victim of a closed head injury and suffers from headaches.  He is an artist  and works with recycled material.  He creates sculptures.  He also had work in the Mary FreeBed show as well as was in Art Prize with me in 2010.  He makes me laugh and is good for my soul.

Swan 2012, Mary FreeBed, Art Clash

For all those who do not know this is a watercolor painting on canvas. I enjoyed painting this swan because of the shadowing. I am looking at pictures to submit to the Art Clash Show as well as the Mary Free Bed show. I really like the Mary FreeBed show. These people are so supportive and I see a lot of the disabled artist that I don't see any were else. They are so excepting and supportive. It is the only show that I really look forward to. Art Clash is also a good show. It is a small town show that is a people voting contest. It is in Wayland, Mi. at The Brew coffee shop. I was thinking of putting this Swan in for my admission. We will see.
