I Love Animals

Deer, 6"x6" oil on canvas

 




















Dear Friends,

I've been on an animal trend with my paintings lately.  I finished the "Two Macaws" and in the process of finishing "Wolf", while starting "Cheetah"...yeap...I am loving painting animals :)                

Friday I have my final art class with Fifth Graders in Valley Center for this year. We are finishing up our characters inspired by the movie "Rio".

I was invited to display my artwork at the San Diego Treasurer's office down town this month but I gracefully declined. Don't get me wrong, I love to display my work, but I want to do it in a place that appreciates art and not just a place where they want to cover up their walls.  My collectors are kind, sensitive people that appreciate my work, and I think their investment in my artwork could be better represented.

Anyway, hope all is well with you all.

Love,
Gladys

Paid Teaching Gig

Blue Macaws, 16"x20" oil on canvas 

Dear Friends,

I was lucky to get a teaching gig in Valley Center teaching 3 fifth grade classes how to paint. It's a two meeting part classes and we worked on the first part of the lesson. I can't wait to go back and finish the art project. The theme was "Rio", the movie, and each student created a painting based on the characters from the movie.  This inspired me so much, that today I began to paint my own "Rio" painting of two blue macaws!

Have been super busy teaching art as a volunteer to children as well, through BCLF.org. Very proud of my students. I have also joined an Artist Critic Group and love to mingle with other artist with such diverse talent and style in painting.

Excited also now that I was juried in as a member of aaaSD (art association in La Jolla). Looking forward to exhibiting some of my work there and as well as some of the public venues they curate.

Check out my website in April, as new paintings will be added to the inventory.

Love,
Glad
