In addition to my solo exhibit in July at Mimosa Gallery, I have two other group shows coming up in June &#8211; more details about those later. It&#8217;s all very exciting and I&#8217;ve been doing a great job carving out time to work on new pieces &#8211; even if it means staying up to the wee hours. All this excitement comes with lots of energy and motivation.<\/p>\n<p>I came across this quote from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.portlandgallery.com\/artist\/Edward_Seago\">Edward Seago<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/marchanson.blogspot.com\/\">Marc Hanson&#8217;s<\/a> Facebook page:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Often, in my mind, I have pictured a great blank canvas, and in my imagination I have seen it transformed into the masterpiece of my dreams. Memory has conjured the subject and imagination has fashioned it. How I wish I could show you one of those pictures. They are very broad in treatment and there is no detail to distract the eye; yet the tiniest incident is there if you look- the glint of a dragonfly&#8217;s wing over the water, and the blue-green of the hedge-sparrow&#8217;s eggs in the smooth hollow of the nest. The colours cannot be found in tubes- they are taken from the fields and flowers, and are mixed with light and air.&#8221; &#8211; Edward Seago<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That pretty much sums up how I&#8217;ve always felt about the natural world. I have all this beautiful imagery bopping around the brain, and I am eager to share it with you all.<\/p>\n<p>Until next time\u2026<br \/>\nTakeyce<\/p>\n<p>Find me on <a title=\"Takeyce Walter Studio\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Takeyce-Walter-Studio\/186413678183\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Facebook<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nFollow me on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/takeyce\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Twitter<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nVisit my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/TakeyceWalterStudio?ref=si_shop\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Etsy Shop<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring Thaw on the Ausable River 8 x 10 inches [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70,65],"tags":[12,72,185,48,13,3,81,57,9,38,14,27,4],"class_list":["post-1679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pastel-2","category-sold","tag-adirondacks","tag-birch","tag-equinox","tag-framed","tag-mountains","tag-pastel","tag-river","tag-season","tag-snow","tag-spring","tag-trees","tag-water","tag-winter","clearfix"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1679"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1679\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takeyceart.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
