Cambrian Salad from Spotlight Cafe
16" x 20" acrylic on canvas

Got some good news today - this painting sold at a show that's not even open yet!!  "Cambrian Salad" is the 2010 calendar painting for April - to go with a dish by the same name, served at Spotlight Cafe.  Jan Fulton created this delicious salad and I was thrilled that she contributed the recipe to our project!!  If there ever was an official salad for Bakersfield, this would be it!! 

Those of you in Bakersfield  should know about the art opening tonight at the Younger Gallery - put on by the Arts Council of Kern.  The show is "Food Glorious Food" and I have 3 pieces in it.  Part of the proceeds go to support the Gleaners in Bakersfield - a great group that helps to feed the needy.  Several of my friends also have art in the show - I'm so excited for them! 

Okay - here's another something new for this year's project.  I'm making most of the paintings available as limited edition giclee prints.  These will be printed on demand - and I'll decide which ones to be in the print group as I get orders.  So - if you like a painting and want a print, let me know.  I plan to have them in the original size and also a smaller size to offer 2 price points.  This is a whole new approach for me to select new prints - my own little experiment.

Better get back to updating my website.  I was in heaven doing all the paintings for the calendar and now I'm back to reality with the more business side of being an artist.  Luckily I like this part of the "job" too!!

Hope you have a beautiful day!
