Finally, back to the studio

Springtime, a detail

Yesterday I finally worked in the studio for a while! Okay, so mostly it was clean-up, but hey, after having the flu all this time, it was just fine. Sure I could hardly get out of the bed this morning, but it was kind of nice to sleep in while it was raining! (It rained all night with some bad thunderstorms in the area. A twister touched down west of here. No injuries thank goodness).

Today was beautiful! It was warm, sunny, and very pleasant. Tonight it is freezing again!

I have an appointment tomorrow and then I will paint all afternoon. Hopefully, I will make some headway. I have a tendency to over-commit, however, if you want to paint and you want to exhibit, you have to keep those doors open, right!?
Well, I need to go and do a little reading before bed. Have a nice Tuesday, Everyone!

Wow, can it be the middle of February already! Unbelieveable!

I have been remiss in my blogging. As you may know, my website went online at the end of last year and I spent some time learning how to find my way around the site and update information. As a reminder my website address is http://www.terriecorbettglass.com/
I will update activities and events so do stop by!

At the beginning of the year, I felt that things were relatively quiet. I was in the bed with the flu for several weeks, felt better for two days and then relapsed! Not fun. I am finally 'getting back down to the planet earth' and feel better. I have missed valuable studio time and I need to get back in the swing of things. The year is mapped out pretty evenly with exhibitions. Right now I am in the Synergy Invitational at the Claude Pepper Museum. In March, I plan to participate in a Self Portraits, an online exhibit which originated through the Warm Glass website. Cynthia Oliver is heading up that project as she did last year. Please stop by her site and take a look later next month.

In January, I submitted a proposal for the Pillars Project - It was accepted and I will have more information on that later. In April, I will participate in Chain of Parks, the nationally juried exhibition for the LeMoyne Center for Visual Arts. Then, In May we go to North Carolina for our nephew's wedding. In June I will participate, as a member of the Artists' League, in an exhibition at the Florida State Museum of Fine Arts. Then in August, I will be one of the Featured Artists at Kittrell/Riffkind in Dallas, Texas. That month, I will also have work in an exhibit called Soul Mates: a study in Relationships at LeMoyne here in Tallahassee. I have one more exhibition in June that is not yet finalized. More on that later.

My husband fixed a wonderful dinner for my Mom and me on Valentine's Day! He also brought us flowers. He's always so thoughtful. I am happy to say that his wedding ring was returned. He lost it at our local Publix. Someone found it and turned it in. Wasn't that nice!

Well, gotta go for now. Hope you have a nice weekend.
