Hello Everyone
I have been working on keeping my website current at rosinamaize.com. Sorry to have been quiet for so long on this blog

I decided that I really need to learn how to get my work out of the house and into locations where they can be seen. My art seen now! I spent the spring months figuring out what to do and applying to places. I put almost all of my paintings in the La Canada Public Library in July. They wanted some "playful, child-friendly" works to decorate the children's section of the library. I didn't have much time, so I pulled out my watercolors and did about 6 watercolor sketches. It reminded me how much fun watercolor is!

I have a busy schedule for Fall also. I was accepted as an exhibiting member of the California Art League. I have entered several pieces into their Gold Medal Show. Now I wait to hear if the juror accepts any of them. Through the Verdugo Hills Art League, we have a chance to show a few pieces at White's Gallery in Montrose. My teacher and mentor, Margot Lennartz has shown her work there for years. I consider it an honor to be able to put my work up there! Also through an art club, I will be an artist demonstrator at the Sheets Gallery at the LA County Fair. The Mid Valley Art League has several walls of paintings on display there, including four of my paintings. I am going to be there painting on September 17th, 18th, and 19th, and the following week on the 25th and 27th. Plenty of people should be coming through the gallery because it is indoors and air-conditioned!! Stop by and say hello when you visit the Fair. (Check my website for the exact times.)

Later in the Fall, I have been accepted to show my work in Sierra Madre at the Fall Festival hosted by the Foothill Creative Arts group. That will be on November 6, 7, and 8. I was also accepted to put up a booth at the Montrose Artwalk on November 21st.

Meanwhile, I am keeping a steady schedule of drawing, sketching, and painting. I am going to have to make a major resolve to finish a number of these paintings that are so close to being done. For now, I am being patient with myself and doing as much as I can. I look forward to posting them here and on my website. Stay tuned!
