How exciting that there will be "Blues 'n Jazz" there! The visual version ;-) as in my oil painting, "Blues 'n Jazz." This piece was painted from life using blue hydrangeas from my garden. It was featured in a post <a href="http://nancylaliberte.blogspot.com/2015/11/blues-n-jazz-original-oil-painting-by.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Midwest Seasons is a nationally juried, themed exhibit showcasing top-notch 2-d and 3-d work. I am thrilled to be included this year, and in the company of many of my talented art friends. The awards ceremony is at 6 pm. Come by to see some amazing art, enjoy food and refreshments, and visit with the artists.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have had the privilege of creating some very special commissioned paintings recently, and "Lucky in Love" is one of them. This piece was a wedding gift commissioned by the parents of a bride, and based on a mother/daughter trip to Ireland. It was a delightful project because it has many of my favorite elements - flowers, landscape, sky, greens! The family was a joy to work with, too, so that made it especially fun. Keep following along, as I share more painting commissions, along with the approach I take to help make it a successful experience for everyone involved. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">After painting for several weeks with oils, I switched back to using acrylics to finish up this piece which had been started earlier this year. Interestingly enough, I sensed a change in the way I handled the paint, and in my color mixing. I enjoy working in both oils and acrylics for different reasons. With oils, I find it easier to create lost and found edges; with acrylics, I love the versatility and easy cleanup. I feel with this piece, I was better able to bridge the gap in my handling of the two mediums. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Strangely enough, there is no snow on the ground where I live in northcentral Wisconsin. To rectify that, we will be painting snow in this Saturday's Playing with Paint class. It will be a fun way to get in some art therapy(a gift!), and paint a holiday gift, too. I tailor the class for all levels, so if you are thinking about joining in, do it! Rumor has it there will be chocolate treats... ;-)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The opening date is drawing near, and I am super excited for my upcoming show "From the Earth" at the beautiful Alexander House Gallery in Port Edwards, WI. The amazingly talented Joe Clark will have his ceramic pieces paired with my paintings. I'm loving how my painting "Beckoning" pairs with Joe's pieces on the invite cover! I have been painting away on <i>many new pieces</i> for the show, and am so excited to share those with you all! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I teach a weekly art class at Acton Academy in Wausau, WI. Today's class involved going on an ARTventure in the school courtyard. Taking the time to see and sketch with an artist's eye is a great way to instill attention to detail habits in a fun way that can carry over to other areas. The meditative aspect to being outside in nature can't be beat. And, when we finish a bit early, I <i>make</i> the kids play for a bit before going back inside. ;-)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Work-in-Progress...the creative joy continues as I keep plugging away on the big commission. I always love the initial block-in of painting, because it goes very quickly for me. The push and pull of color and temperature (warm and cool colors) is the part where I have to slow down, but not over think it.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">While I am continuing to finish my two WIP's (work-in-progress) paintings from days 3 and 4, I wanted to share a sketch from my daily sketchbook/journal/planner. After purchasing my produce at the Wausau farmer's market this morning, I noticed Urban Bistro's big orange food truck and headed over to see what was on the menu. Many things were already sold out (their food is DELISH!), but not the lamb kebabs! Yay! Lunch dilemma solved, and triple JOY - sketching, painting and eating. By the way, you have no idea how hard it was to sketch and paint this before eating it! :-)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Day 4 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge included working on a landscape commission. This piece is 36" x 24" and requires more than one day of painting time. Several days, actually, and I wanted to give a sneak peek since that was the project for the day. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Sharing my creative joy with painting demo during downtown Wausau's 1st Thursday was a part of my day 3 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge. I know getting out and painting in front of people can be a bit daunting for some artists, but give it a try. Painting from life and in public may not only bring you joy, but also inspire someone else. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The finished painting will be a part of the <a href="http://www.cvawausau.org/" target="_blank">Center for the Visual Arts</a>' "Art by the Foot" fundraiser taking place in October. </span><br />
