KIRIBAN GIVEAWAY
I'm approaching 40,000 hits on my blog. It will probably take a several weeks to get there, but I thought I would mention it just to get the idea in y'all's minds. Last month, I held an art giveaway on my other account when I reached 15,000 hits. It turned out pretty well
except for me mailing the wrong art to the winners. But things got sorted out in the end.
So, if you happen to be the 40,000th hit, remember to take a screencap and send it to me. Otherwise, I will go by my Recent Visitor list.
ETA: I forgot to mention what the prize will be. Most likely a 8 x 10" fine art print, but I'll see what's available by the time the kiriban rolls around.

ART SHOWS
I'll be participating in an art show in July. Wait, two art shows actually. The first is the 20 Pages Sketchbook Project, which I've been working on for a while. The other is called Dog Days of Summer, and it will be benefited the local Great Dane Rescue. I'm really excited about both projects. With the later, I just began my piece last night after brainstorming for quite a while and trying to decide what media to use. However after speaking with a few people and having one random conversation with an acquaintance from art school, I have decided to execute it in traditional rather than digital media.
The thing is, I always have said
I DO NOT PAINT, because, really, I don't. I'm a pencil girl. But I have used them on a few pages of my 20 Pages sketchbook. I don't hate it. It's just that it's very time consuming and I suppose I'm afraid of completely screwing something up. But I like to challenge myself with my art, so what better way to do it than to tackle gouache, right?

MAY FEATURE
I haven't done one since March. However, I've seen quite a few inspirational pieces that helped encouraged me in my endeavor to paint again. So here they are.
