So where have I been, You ask?
I promised myself that this year I was going to do some traveling for ART. I have taken three (3) workshops (since October 2010). One to Fort Bragg, CA with Susan Louise Moyer studying more techniques regarding Silk Painting. Another class in Albany, NY with my dear Friend Julie Murphy and we studied Fabric Collaging and had a fabulous time at a Bed and Breakfast there. Met some amazing new friends and learned some fun things as well, but I have to say that this last one has been by far my favorite and I didn't have to travel as far to find it.
I went to The Grand Bohemian in Asheville, NC and took a workshop from
Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson a Paper Painter (Collage) Artist.
I think that I have decided that my focus in my art career is going to be of course my Silks (Silk Painting) and Collaging (Paper Painting) as Elizabeth likes to refer to it. It is amazing and so relaxing and FUN. Here are examples of some of my NEW work (both in Silks and Paper Painting). I do hope you enjoy them.
Stay tuned because I have 43 photos of FOOD that I am going to attempt. A friend of mine loves to cook (as do I.) She is amazing with a camera taking the pics of the things she makes. I have asked her if I can use her photos to come up with Collages (Paper Paintings). She has given me permission --- so now we will see what comes of these. I am so excited about this adventure.... Stayed tuned.
Until that time enjoy what has already come about. If you see anything that you like or would like to request something please drop me a line megsmither@yahoo.com - you can also go to my website and see what I have available there http://www.megsmither.com/

Before I leave you -- I have been reading a book. Title: Praying for a Purpose for Women by Katie Brazelton. It is an amazing book and I so recommend it to every woman out there. One silly thing that was said and yet so true to remember each day.
"The Best Thing to Do Behind a Person's Back is to Pat it."
