Designin'



















I've been designing promotional materials for Cutting Loose Salon. They're opening an offshoot next door with a more youthful, urban vibe and lower prices. Here are some of the postcards and etc! (BTW - I didn't design the logo, that had already been done. I think it's smart and fun, though!)

Sarah Plus











I've had fun this week painting in the studio & out in the town. Still trying to discover an interesting direction to continue exploring in detail. Here are some from the last week.

Something old, somethings new

Trey and I have been doing daily speed paint-offs of still lives. I'm into flowers, and he has gone along with it. Here are mine, Trey should post his soon on his blog so then you can check them out and decide who "won" each day.

All are 30 minutes - 1 hour.










In other news, we just took a great trip to the mountains, delivering Mark English's new solo show to his gallery in Telluride, Co. Everyone told us that Telluride is one of the most beautiful places on earth. They weren't kidding!



After that, a slight detour on the way back allowed us to spend the weekend with Matt Dahllun &
Megan Ingrahm
in Boulder.

Going back a few weeks... our first weekend in Kansas City we went to theWest 18th St. Fasion Show (which was strange and super cool), where we met Emily and Kathryn. Emily assists in the Asian and American Departments at the Nelson Museum and Katheryn works with an Ad Agency. They came over this week and posed for us to paint. The poses were great, but the painting doesn't live up. Unfortunately, we did not take any pictures while they were here, but my favorite part of the painting ended up being the chair...

Finally, something old: some illustrations I did about 6 months ago for SRQ Lux magazine. The art director liked some of my digital speed paintings, like "Introducing Sarah" and wanted these products photos made into/incorporated in illustrations with paint texture and so on:





(I prefer the first version, but this is the one that they printed.)

Take me home, Toto

Trey and I are settling in our new house in Kansas City. Mark and John English & Brent Watkinson have been so welcoming and we are excited to start the apprenticeship. I managed to take a few pictures of the move to share! More pictures of the new place and fun stuff in our new town to come. Plus, paintings of spring flowers!

Nude and Flowers

I snapped these pictures tonight even though the light is not so good. Still, in an effort to update, this is what I have been working on! The nude is half-way and the flowers are finished.

Roses

Trey and I just returned from a great trip to Kansas City. We got to visit with Mark and John English, Brent Watkinson and their families! What a fun time. The city was very neat as well.

In an effort to reclaim my abandoned blog, here is a little taste of a series of flower paintings I am working on!

Tata Gala



I did this acrylic painting for the Tata Gala show at D3 gallery to benefit Breast Cancer. The show was great, huge turnout and a good vibe!
