My He(ART) and Soul Adventure!

I spent a wonderful weekend at Art and Soul in Hampton VA. I got to take a class with Carla Sonheim on developing Whimsy in my art work. Wonderful class. It was a pleasure to meet Carla and all of the other participants. I had a great time. Check out Carla's blog here - http://carlasonheim.wordpress.com/ Carla has a new book coming out. I am going to make a post about the book soon.

One of the great things about Art & Soul is Vendor's Night!!! I went, I saw, I bought - something really wonderful in my opinion. Something for the BBB Celebration prize. I have to put the whole package together, but, I can give you one little glimpse of the place of honor in the prize~ I have seen and admired and coveted a piece of Stephanie Rubiano's work for a long time. So, when I came upon her booth at the show and saw this little Queen I just thought she would be perfect. I just love this image and to me we are all Queens in our own right and of our own realms - so here is a peek - This is a photo print number 3 of 100, signed by the artist -
