On June 2, 2012, the Leadership Charlotte Class of 2012 will host an evening of medieval majesty and fun in support of local charities with an extravaganza known as Night of Knights, held at the Charlotte County Fairgrounds.

The costumed event will feature room-sized murals or backdrops thematically designed and painted by Shauna Lee Lange.  Attendees will also be treated to a feature performance by The BoogieMen and enjoy medieval themed games, food and beverage.  All proceeds benefit the Virginia B. Andes Volunteer Community Clinic and the Yah Yah Girls Back Pack Kids.

Leadership Charlotte, a program overseen by the Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce, develops new and existing community leaders by providing an experiential education as to the heritage, resources, opportunities and business environment in Charlotte County.  For more information regarding this fabulous evening, please visit Leadership Charlotte or contact LCharlotte2012@gmail.com for sponsorship opportunities.

wishing for snow and lots of it or return to sender

We have loads of snowbirds in Southwest Florida now, many from the outer Canadian provinces.  I was thinking about how glorious it is to wake up each day in the sun and be able to slip on a skirt, a t-shirt, and some sandals.  Now THAT’s living.  External to our beautiful weather, I had been feeling kind of icy inside, with lots of conflicting emotions about very important events and relationships.  So I was wishing for buckets of snow.  The kind where you can just stay inside for days on end.  Where the snow piles up and it takes three days to clear the driveway.  Yes, that kind of snow.  Wishing for snow and lots of it, this art journaling piece shows how versatile a single snowflake stamp can be when we add layers underneath and on top.  Another hint is to use a mix of watercolor, marker, pen, and weighted coloring elements.  I’m wishing for snow and wanting to return all my nasty mail to the original senders.  What are YOU wishing for?

an artist’s walkabout

Several weeks ago, I had the opportunity to visit Naples Florida’s von Leibig Art Center.  The Center is managed by the Naples Art Association.  With a concentration on changing exhibitions of American contemporary  art and a focus on Florida art, the center is a great “artist’s date” or walkabout.  Originally designed by Naples architect Alfred French, it opened in November 1998 with a permanent collection of post-war American art. The two story, 16,000 sq. ft. facility features six studios, lobby gallery, a main exhibition gallery, four galleries-in-the-round, two collection storage vaults, library resource center, gift shop, administrative offices and a catering kitchen. Admission to the center is free although donations are encouraged.  Well, why don’t I just show you some highlights??

art journaling our inner artist a valentine

We recently held a six week art journaling class at the Charlotte County Cultural Center for women and girls of all ages and skill levels.  At the end of the class, the students were asked to prepare a Valentine to their inner artist, honoring the art they love even if no one else does.  Here are the amazing results, particularly since the students also had to incorporate pre-determined decorative elements.  In the example below, one student took one of the pre-assigned orange papers and transformed it into a little house.  I’m never more amazed while teaching a class then when the students show up in an authentic, thoughtful and meaningful way with assignments.  Here’s a look for you.  We have a three-hour workshop coming up on Saturday, March 17, 2012 from 9 – 12.  It will focus on map art and mind mapping art.  Contact the center to register.

I’m not sure which is hotter these days, the promising potential of Pinterest or the latest career aid, resume infographics.  I tried my hand at a first attempt this evening and here’s how I made out.  I accomplished this on Word using advanced Word Art features, but once I master Corel Painter Essentials 4 (Thank you Lauren & Domenic), well you just watch out!  The light color hues are due to my low-end printer.  Overall, I am happy with the push button concept, but would like to work on the beauty a bit more.
