the Painting Activist

Here is a direct link to a video of the painting in action.

This is one of my 12 interviewees for the portrait series of female clients of Kentucky nonprofits (clearly, I’m still working on a title, and ideas are welcome).  Exhibit A is a former client of the Center for Women and Families (where I just wrapped up a community art project).

This Thursday evening the 24th at the Marriott Louisville Downtown, Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana will be exploiting your weakness for sweets to raise money to continue to serve over 22,00 girls in Kentucky.  As if the actual Girl Scout cookies weren’t tempting enough, Louisville finest chefs will be whipping up new gourmet creations using the tasty treats as a base ingredient.

For $50/person you can meander a ballroom filled with the most incredible culinary delights.  New Year’s resolution-ers beware.  I covered last year’s Desserts First and definitely left in a sugar coma, yet blissfully content.

Further information for tickets and online registration are available here.

This isn’t the most interesting of my painting videos, but so many people have recently mentioned their fondness of watching the artist at work I thought I would squeeze in a few extra.

No, I don’t normally paint while sitting on the floor. This canvas is enormous and only fits on the makeshift easel that is my mantel (currently occupied by flowers and pumpkins hanging around from Thanksgiving).
