Pottery Galore!

 

I spent almost all of April and May in my pottery studio working on pieces for various friends and events.  So I thought I would give you a quick rundown of them.  I won't say too much, because really, it's more fun to look at the pics than read a lot of stuff.

 

I did a few paintings during that time, but we'll look at those later.

 

 

 

This giant 18" toucan bowl was a special order from an old friend as a wedding present for his son.

 

 

This load of pottery was for my featured artist event May 2 at

 SoDu Gallery,

1102 b Duval Street,

Key West

  The photo of the work was so colorful I used it for a new post card and invitation to the show.

I am happy to say that lots of new pottery pieces have gone to

 Wet Paint Gallery,

 430 Duval Street KW

 In addition to my pieces Jennifer Badry, gallery owner, and her lovely staff have filled the gallery with lots of local and tropical art.

 

 

 

  And last for my things to show you today is a bowl I am sending as a thank you gift to a friend in Philadelphia.  This friend is hosting an entire Memorial Weekend event for a gaggle of old friends.  All we have to do is show up.  So I am off to Philly to see the old Gang.  I lived for a short time in Philly as a child.  My brother was born there and we used to take class school trips to the various historical locations, so I have lots of fond memories.  Can't wait to see it again and all my chums.

Everyone have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend and remember our Vets.

 

  I return to Key West next week and then I am back to painting, this time with a horde of children.  I'll be busy teaching art to young artists all of June and July.

A couple of other fun things are in the works, but we'll talk about those as they happen.

bye for now,
Maggie

 

 

 

Dragonflies and roses

I am leaving for vacation on Tuesday. I am headed to North Carolina to see my parents and then to Hilton Head Island to see my son and his wife and my new grand baby, Jacob. I am very excited. So the above photos are of the last load out of the kiln before I go. They are going into the gallery tomorrow. They are a swarm of dragonflies to celebrate the summer. I will try to do some posting while I am gone.

Today is my friend David Scott Meier's birthday. He is such a nice man HE brought ME roses on HIS birthday. He says that the little yellow one is going to smell wonderful. Thank you David for the roses. David is a wonderful friend, and he is an amazing artist. His mixed media work is truly artistic and his design sense is impeccable. Please take a minute to check out his blog.
