New Traveling Journal Pages

Well now I have 2 blogs and I don't know which one to post on....I have posted my New Traveling Journal Pages over on http://timelesstreasuresofleast.blogspot.com because I want to start putting all of my art work on that blog and keep this blog for other stuff...So I hope you go over there to see my art work....

Nico in Oklahoma City

We took Nico all around OKC to see the State Capitol Building, the Bombing Memorial, the Oklahoma Museum of Art. He really liked the exhibit of the "Chihuly Glass, I snapped his picture in front of one of the sculptures, and the "Paris Exhibit". Our friend Cherea went with us and I took this pic of Susan, Nico & Cherea in front of one of the optical illusion painting. We took him to the Oklahoma Symphony on Saturday night, it turned out that the Symphony was playing a selection on South American tunes, that was really just a co-incidence that Nico got to go for that. Susan and I took him back stage after the performance and introduced him to Joel Lavine, the conductor and a lot of our friends that play in the Symphony. After that was over we took him to Chili's for a "White Chocolate Molten" it was a sweet ending for a wonderful day. He really liked all of the places that we took him to eat, he kept commenting on how big the portions of food were.

On Friday night I took him to PC North High School where they were doing the musical "Fiddler on the Roof", Susan was conducting the orchestra, he got to meet some of the students that were supposed to attend his Workshop, and they brought their sketch books, Nico did a drawing in the book and signed it for them...they were so excited to meet him and tell him how much they love his Speed-Painting and how disappointed they were that the Workshop was canceled. He told them hopefully he will be back in the Fall and do the Workshop.

We truly enjoyed his visit. He is so gracious and so so smart and talented. I told him that he will be "Rich and Famous" someday....and he said.."I hope so". He speaks very good English, which was great because Susan and I neither one speak any Spanish.

Even though Nico's presentation was cancelled he still came to OKC and staid a few days with Susan and me before he went on to Long Island, New York. He is such a nice young man. Susan taught him how to play Guitar Hero on the Wii, and he and I talked "art" for hours. He burned me some CDs on my computer of his Movie and the making of the movie...he is now in production of a claymation stop action film for his theses for his degree...he will be graduating in less than a year and is very excited to get finished.

Heeeere's Johnny!!!!

This is "Johnny Lee" he is a cute little boy Paper Doll that I created for my friend Dawn Gold that lives in the UK. We traded Paper Dolls that were inspired by a Paper Doll swap over on the Paper Whimsy Formum Group that we belong too. I received a precious doll named "Betty" and she has her own doll named "Boop" and "Johnny Lee" is on his way to Dawn as we speak.

Make my Day Award

I received this awesome Award from my friend Gayle (a very talented artist). It did make my Day...and I am passing it on to some other terrific artist that "Make my Day" every day. If you want to pass it on to some one that makes your day...just save the award and post it on your blog and list 10 people that make your day. I could send this to a 100 people, I have been so lucky to make more friends through "blogland" than I can count. If you get this more than once count yourself lucky. Thanks Gail

Serendipity's Journal #13

Ella's Art Work

This is a mixed media collage done by my 7 year old grand daughter Ella. She is a budding artist...and loves to do ART. I gave her some printed paper, stickers, stamps, fibers, a hole punch and a key and this is what she came up with. She really likes glitter (I wonder where she got that?). She is letting me teach her how to tear paper instead of cutting. This is a collage Ella did by tearing and cutting the paper. She really prefers to cut, but is trying her hand at tearing. I think she likes having more control with scissors than tearing. I just can't imagine where she gets that wanting to control stuff from....lol...I think she is really artistic...she also paints in acrylics and water color and loves to "just draw" with colored pencils and markers.

Nico's Workshop has been canceled

I AM SORRY TO TELL YOU THAT NICO'S WORKSHOP HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE RESCHEDULED FOR A LATER DATE.
