Art Fairs

Preparing for this years upcoming art fair located in the Blue Ridge mountains.  This is an established venue of 40 years and has an attendance of 8000 visitors. The Blue Ridge Mountains Arts Association holds two events per year in spring and fall. It sounds promising.




I've been spending more time over at Fresh Paint on facebook. This is where I post artist's works and different painting techniques which others might find useful in their art endeavors. Come over and see what's going on.

I've also been painting a few new pieces. This is titled "Delight". Created in a Chinese watercolor style with the Chinese character for "delight" being the top character with my signature below. Prints of this painting are available through FineArtAmerica.

I know we still have to finish up on the oil painting of "Deuce". It's coming.

Baby Smurf Crochet Free Pattern

  Good Morning Everyone, I wanted to create something fun. Exploring my childhood days I guess. A week ago I had created a larger version of this Baby Smurf (Benji and Barney Bigfoot) shown below. I had thoughts of making a smaller version and using up some yarn remnants. I came upon Baby Smurf, offering you this free pattern which I designed. The finished size of this doll is 6 inches without the hat and 10 inches with the hat. Size is dependent on the yarn and hook used.  So, let's get started.
