FEATURED ARTIST IN

THE EAGLE INFORMER

For the month of February, I am the featured artist at the Eagle City Hall.  I picked ten of my best works and ones that represent my style of art the best and put them up on the walls of the Eagle City Hall.  They are hanging in the front lobby  and will be on display until March 1st. For more about the 'fiasco' of hanging my show all by myself, see my blogsite www.boiseidahoartist.com

An article about me is also in February issue of Eagle Informer magazine.  This is a free magazine that is only for the residents and businesses of the city of Eagle.  They can be found in the Library, the City Hall and St. Luke's hospital and other places in and around Eagle.

 

 

PEPE PORTRAIT

I am doing a portrait of a little dog (see photo left) who passed away last October.  The dog's name was Pepe.  The client found my website and called me.  This is a real delightful surprise and somewhat of a miracle!   This little guy reminds me of my childhood pet--a cute little brown Chihuahua named 'Coco.'

The finished portrait is at the left. The client wanted it in graphite pencil with a brown colored pencil background.  He was very happy with the final result and even gave me a coffee mug with Pepe's photo on it!

 

 

BSU CLASSES UPDATE

February 2010:  This semester I'm taking English Literature and Education Technology.  No art classes this time because I want to get through some of the other core classes I have to take.  I got A's in both my classes last semester--Ceramics and 3-D Art!  Yay!

 

MY ART  IN "DIANA" COFFEE TABLE BOOK! 

The cover of "Diana in Art" is pictured at the upper left in (bottom left).  My portrait of Princess Diana (bottom left) is on pages 96-97 of this book.

I think the book is beautiful and I am very happy with the results.  It was fascinating to see so many individual artist's interpret of Diana.  This book is a wonderful tribute to a very special lady.

This book was compiled by Mem Mehmet who lives in London, England.  It was published by Caxton Publishing Group/Pop Art Books.

Update 6/30/09

This book got no publicity in the states (that I know of) but I recently heard from Mem Mehmet and he said it did well in the UK and in Canada.   So that makes up for my disappointment that it didn't do well in the states.

WIT & WISDOM:  THE CHICK CHUCKLE

"Who was the dirty slimball who turned the dryer on while I was sleeping in it!"

"Did you ever have that sinking feeling?"

"Bring me Solo and the Wookie.  They will pay for this outrage!"

"What pie?  I didn't see any pie."

 

"Who needs a blanket when you've got hound dog ears."

 
If you loved me, you'd let me stay dirty! "If you squeeze any harder, my eyes will pop out!"  

This cat bed smells like stinky feet.

 

A LIST OF DUMB QUESTIONS THAT FOREST RANGERS HAVE BEEN ASKED.

Question:  "At what elevation do deer turn into elk?"  Answer: "That would be either the 12th floor, sporting goods, or 15th floor, divine intervention."

Question:  "When in the life cycle of an elk does it become a moose?"  Answer:  Just before it reverts to its larval stage, commonly referred to as a deer."

Question:  "What time do the animals get locked away for the night?"  Answer:  "When the bars close."

Question:  "Do you guys turn off Old Faithful at night to save energy?" Answer:  "No...that's why your electricity sometimes goes out."
