Today was the first day of the Junior League's Artful Living Home Tour at which Mary Kay was a vendor. Lots of people came by and talked about her paintings. She sold her "Old Flowers" to a woman from Walnut Creek who said she liked its "old world" ambiance. Two other women were seriously interested in paintings, but wanted to consult their husbands before buying. Mary Kay will be back at the Alamo Women's Club Hall tomorrow.

Mary Kay added some definition to Veritas today.

new vine painting

Not to forget the wine country theme, the latest painting, called Veritas, looks like this. Makes me want to taste those juicy grapes!

Flowers for Little Girls

Mary Kay just finished two commissioned paintings to decorate the bedroom of two sisters Sydney and Leah. Sydney's flower is a red mum and Leah has a matrix of ranunculus flowers.

Livermore Art Walk 2009

Saturday October 10 started early as we loaded up three vehicles with 13 paintings and easels and drove out to set up for the Livermore Art Walk. We arrived there at 8:30 AM and started unloading and setting up for the show which began at 11 AM. The weather was great and lots of people stopped to look at and comment on Mary Kay's art. A highlight of the day was that her painting Autumn found a new home with a Livermore couple who live on a hill and have a large space over their fireplace which now sports a new painting.

First of new set of paintings appear

Mary Kay has been busy the last few days starting to work on the 17-19 paintings needed for the Wente show next year. A special challenge is the requirement to work small when she much prefers to paint large.

date set for Wente show

Mary Kay was just informed that her one person show at Wente Vineyards Estate Winery is scheduled for the month of November 2010. She will have an artist's reception at the winery on November 7. Save the date.
