Spring has sprung and summer is at the door! Just finished with an interview and am now getting ready for the first outdoor show of the season. I was contacted at the beginning of the week by a reporter from the LaPorte Herald Argus who wanted to interview me about this Sundays Show~ Art in the Garden at Taltree Arboretum in Valparaiso Indiana. In the midst of one of Northwest Indiana’s best natural inspirations, Taltree is a 300-acre complex of gardens, woody plant collections and restored and preserved native areas in Valparaiso, Indiana. The show is Sunday, June 6th, 10am-4pm and is open to the public with an anticipated attendance of 1,000+ art and garden lovers. The address is 450 West 100 North, Valparaiso IN.

chickadee

This time of the year is so beautiful! I especially like going outside just before sunrise and hearing all the birds singing joyfully! I saw a little chickadee up in our maple this morning; this little 5X7 oil painting is an impression of him.

Anita Ann Johnson Art

I participated in the Porter County Master Gardeners Show yesterday and it was a very nice event. The crowd was enormous! There was a seed and bulb exchange, various speakers who had expertise in plants and gardening, and many vendors with unique treasures for the yard. I displayed mostly floral and bird paintings at this event; many found treasures that they purchased and took home with them.

It's been sixteen days

Yep, it's me and it's been sixteen days since my last blog post. Seems like a long time, but it IS an improvement over last year! I am putting the finishing touches on a new painting, Poppy Pair. It's a 12 x 12 Acrylic. I photographed it before putting on the clear coat as it is almost impossible to get an image without a lot of reflection after it is applied.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

At the top of my lists of goals for 2010 is to become a "better blogger". I am an artist not a writer and if you look too closely at my grammar that will be evident. (smile) Several of you have asked about new paintings and I realize that I haven't posted any of those recently either. I spent the weeks before Christmas working on a large painting for my son for Christmas. I have been having some health problems as of late and because of this an artist friend offered to help me on the painting. The painting is a 3' x 4' acrylic and we completed it days before Christmas. My son was completely surprised and loves his new painting.

Poppies Fiesta II

Poppies Fiesta II

This painting of poppies is still wet and just off the easel. I call it Poppies Fiesta II. Not too long ago I painted Poppies Fiesta and it sold at a local art fair. I had so much fun painting the first one that I decided to do another. There have been more cold, rainy, gloomy days lately than I would like, and painting these poppies just brightened the past few days. Soon I will get this photographed and uploaded, and it will be available to brighten someone else's home.
