Imagine thousands of large puzzle pieces, each created by a different artist, joined together in a colossal display of creativity and community. That's Art Fits Vermont, a statewide community arts project.
Beginning in May 2008, the Council will distribute 11,000 wood and 50,000 paper puzzle pieces free of charge to individuals, arts organizations, schools and community groups.

With most of our major projects now complete, my husband and I have been spending quite a lot of time on our patio and he's been continuing to encourage me to add another piece of artwork to the set, telling me that the space between our storage fridge and the grill "seems a bit too bare".
After due consideration I agreed with him and we've been discussing the theme of the painting over the course of the last few days. Given that the primary use of the space is to be an outdoor dining room and entertainment area, I thought that a still life of vegetables and fruit might be the most appropriate and that the subject would balance well with The Farmer's Wife privacy screen.

With Pluckin' Joyful now complete, I've begun the process of translating Ginger Glass from digital illustration to traditional media. Once completed she will be the queen of The Slate Garden Gallery, providing a visual bridge between her sisters, The Farmer's Wife [patio privacy screen] and Pluckin' Joyful.
As is usual, I am working from sketches and digital mock-ups.

If you've been following along in the VAFF or Su Casa groups, you already know that my husband and I have been actively engaged in a HUGE Garden and Patio Makeover project. Part of the Patio Project included creating a privacy screen, cut down to 6' wide by 4' high, from an 8' x 4' sheet of plywood. That 4' by 2' piece has now been put to work and used as a substrate for additional garden art, mountd on the wall of the work shed that my husband built in the summer of 2007.

Question: What do you get when you cross a boring pair of foam wedges, acrylics, and a few hours of your time?
Answer: You get my response to the VAFF creative shoes challenge!
I started this project with a pair of Groove wedges that I purchased at Ross for $9.99
Groove Wedges: Found on sale at Ross for $9.99
To begin the project I masked the Groove tag with a bit of blue, low-tack tape.

On April 29th, Fab posted a very inspiring "Guess Who" that featured an absolutely gorgeous pair of painted wedges.
04/29/2008: Fab posted this gorgeous pair of designer wedges. Sale price $413.00
The sale price was still a bit too rich for my blood but - still - I felt inspired and set about to create my own, artful pair of hand-painted wedges.
