Englewood Festival for 2011

We arrived Sunday morning and found many of the tents in shambles from the sudden wind Saturday night.  Heavy cloud layers convinced several folks that it was not going to be a promising day.  The tent behind me had been completely taken down as well as the Boy Scout Tent in the vendors area.  It was being removed from the tree line a field away.  A tent was loaned and the boy scouts and festival workers pitched in along with a wonderful man who loaned the tent stayed and helped rebuild her display so that she could salvage the 2nd day of the festival.  between 12 and 1pm the sun came out.

Family and Friends many who know what is important in life reached out and made a difference in life.    The difference in the quality of life.  I continue to be in awe of these wonderful people.  Kyung, Rita, Jay, Lori, Amy, young Jessica and Caralee who lives life fully and all teach.  These are the greatest gifts of love.                                                                       

This festival has always been very good for my family.  The folks that came out and purchased from each of the vendors were many friends and clients I have known for couple of decades here in Englewood.  Words cannot convey what my heart felt.  "Here comes the Sun" sold along with some 9 other pieces 3 of which went to a very special Angel (Rita) and her husband Jay.  Meeting the owners of the artwork where your work will share its love always leaves me amazed (they are the perfect owner of the work).    Jessica is a college student (ART) from California and now the owner of HERE COMES THE SUN Art.  Lori was another who purchased 2 pieces.  This was a pivotal festival and my heart cannot thank you each enough

CBS Sunart Preview

Sun art 2011 preview
instead of a Winter scene to welcome the New Year concept has been developed for the CBS Sunday Morning Show Sun Art Library. Our individual presentations (the artist challenge site) of "the sun" will warm up the winter eve while viewing it tonight (8pm est).
After completing the work like to snap open a fortune cookie, read the fortune within; sit back and contemplate the possibilities of the next blank canvas.

Heard from the Producer at the CBS Sunday Morning show

email from the producer of the show sent the following to the challenge site:

"Vikki,

Thank you so much again for sending me these magnificent suns. They’re beautiful, and useful, and I appreciate them more than you can imagine.

You can be sure that I’ll be using all of them at some time or another, maybe as early as tomorrow morning if the opportunity arises. I opened your envelope, took one look at these, and rushed them down to our graphics guy immediately so that he could record them.

Check your e-mail in the AM, just in case one airs tomorrow. Otherwise, I’ll definitely keep you posted as to when we use them.

Thanks again. THIS WORK IS AMAZING!

Have a great weekend.

Jessica

Spring time in the Valley...slowly she approaches with the constant rain and illusive rays of sunshine. Long for sunflowers and warmth to thaw out the bone chilling cold of old man winter. Song replays in mind, "here comes the sun" as post this morning. A loss of one hour in the time change should be made note of as won't get that back until the fall. How quickly life flies.

for even more WARMTH. Started applying the finish to this yesterday. Considering painting on an additional layer to give the definition to the outer sphere of the sun for depth. This will magnify the Sun and give it dimension when final application is applied.

Was interesting to watch Rock Solid (HGTV) yesterday. They featured a piece of art that could be put on the outer wall of a Patio area that had been finished to "waterproof" the art of outdoor use. This is exactly what have developed this finish to do. Bring your art to your OUTDOOR living area. The finish waterproofs the work and protects it from the elements (wind/rain) Will admit, although the work holds up to the harsh winters in the area; value the art enough to keep it out of direct sunlight (hang under a overhang) and snowfalls. (Direct sunlight softens the finish but it returns to "normal" when cooled-no change in artwork) Extreme cold does nothing to the finish. To clean any of the work all that is needed is a soft cloth with furniture polish applied to it. Quick once over restores it to "shinning" condition.
