Folk Fest Art and I walked 40 Miles!!!!!

Sorry It has taken me so long to post about the show. I walked so many miles looking at the art and talking to the artists. I am just now getting over walking 40 miles plus.. LOL.. I am just now posting.. It was a great show.. If you guys enjoy folk art and then you should attend this one in Atlanta. This was the first time I had ever been..
I am not sure where I fit into the art world and so attended this with a friend who was showing and she did wonderful at the show.. There were so many great artist. It was so amazing at all the imagination that was in one building.. The thing I felt at this show was the artist were so willing to share and the hearts seem so full of kindness.
Then I got to meet one of my blogging friend and that was such a blessing. Mary over at the Splendid Adventure. http://asplendidadventure.blogspot.com/ . She was just like I thought she would be beautiful, funny and so nice. Mary it was so nice to get to meet you.

Tea and Meditation

This a mix media piece 10x12 on canvas board..
This is just a fun piece I did. Can you say I need a little time for me.!!!!!!!
I don't get much of that and when I do I still carry every thing with me. Worries . So I need a little help from up above and some time to relax.
I am getting a night and a couple of days. So I am off to a art show in Atlanta with a friend. She is having her first big show.. So I am going along to support her. ENVY>>>> LOL...

Always looking and Listening to the Tree's

This piece is done on canvas in acrylic. One of favorite subjects Tree's.
No, the grass that you see is not part of the piece.LOL>..I just placed it outside in my yard and snapped the shot..Maybe if you look closer you might see a four leaf clover or not. I am always finding them in our yard..My mom loves when I bring one in to her. She always places them inside a book for safe keeping. She says I have the luck of the Irish.
I have been here sitting here thinking I should have a story to go with this piece but I do not.
It is just for the love of trees. My Dad is the one who taught me about trees. He could walk through the Forest and tell you every kind of species. He could tell you what they could be used for and then he taught me to listen to them. Really listen to them. Stop listening to the sound of the world around you and silence all the things that are going through your mind. Relax and breath and listen. It is amazing what you can hear when all you here is silence.

May you always dream in color,
Katelen
OK , so maybe I did have a story.

Paper , Paint and Blue Moon

This is a mix media piece on canvas. I just can not help putting words when I paint. I know you can see it is a blue moon. Or maybe you think it is just a blue dot, so that is why I have to put words to explain. LOL.. This piece is done with acrylic and ink and paper.

So this was Birthday weekend for me. No Cake or Candles because if I had candles I would light up the neighborhood. Not really! It is the age of woman, I rather not share.. So it is a blue moon weekend and I am forever 39..LOL......
I hope everyone has a great week ahead and their mind is filled with creativity and days of laughter.
