April 2008

Happy Spring!!!
Don't you just love the days getting warmer and the evenings lasting longer :) A few more new updates on what I've been doing...

Here is my new postcard promoting my 'Fine Art Services'... Some of you may not know that I do pictures hangings for customers and I've also been doing Art Consulting too... So, if you have a need for either or know someone who does please feel free to pass on my information :)

My most recent painting is a small 8 x 10 acrylic on rag board "Tree Study". I plan on making this same image into a large 36 x 48 painting in the near future... I did this piece because I needed three examples of "Plein Air" painting to enter the Frank Bette Plein Air Paintout this July (http://www.frankbettecenter.org/PAPo08.htm)... They only take 40 Artists - I sure hope I get in :)

The other two paintings I used to enter are two acrylics paintings I finished a few years ago... Sunrise Valley & Pacific Grove...


My newest finished print is "Snowing" for the Four Oceans Press Winter 2008 Print Exchange. However, it is already time to get on the ball and finish up both the Spring 2008 Exchange Print for FOP and to do a print for Exchange #36 with the Baren Forum (http://www.barenforum.org/).
...I am a busy Artist :)

Here is a link to the Archive page on Four Oceans Press where you can view all the prints from all the completed exchanges. http://www.fouroceanspress.com/archive.html


I have signed up for a new exchange; a Fine Arts Photography Exchange coordinate by Four Oceans Press... I'm excited to see all the finished photos with the theme of 'Movement'. Check it out... http://www.fouroceanspress.com/exchange_photo.html

This June will be East Bay Open Studios 2008!!! I will be showing my art along side Kathe Welch (http://www.kathewelch.org/)... The official dates are June 7-8 & 14-15 (11am - 6pm ...I think) and the viewing location will be at: Creative Framing, 5015 Woodminster Lane, Oakland, CA.

We would both love to see you there, so keep it in the back of your mind as a fun few weekends coming up in June :)

I was also a Featured Artist of the Month on FOP

Last but not least... I have been continuously working on my website to try to make it easier to navigate... Check out the new face lift on my website (http://www.heatherpiazza.com/) there is a new 'top' to every page and even a new navigation bar :)

As always, Thank you again for your interest and continued support in my Art career... I wish you a Happy Spring and I hope you had a few relaxing Holiday weekends that just past... Keep checking back to my website to see all that is new and what is still to come in 2008 :)

Thanks & Smiles,
Heather
