Spring in the Basement - latest newsletter from Carol Nelson Fine Art

Hello subscribers and art lovers,

My basement studio is basking in spring light - it comes

in a small window covered with vines, but, hey, it's

actual sunlight.  As usual, things are busy, and busier.

Recent sales are up. I think people start thinking about

decorating and remodeling in the spring, so one place they

start looking for artwork is my website.  I couldn't agree

more - here's a few that went out the door recently:

      

 

    

 
 

       

Workshops - As we speak, I'm getting ready for

a 5 day workshop in Raleigh, NC, starting next week,

sponsored by Jerry's Artarama.

In May, I'm heading to New Orleans for a 4 day workshop.

There are still openings in this one, if you want to

visit the Big Easy AND have an incredible art experience.

I want to sample that famous bayou cuisine.

I don't think it's too soon to talk a little about

my Wisconsin workshop at Dillman's Resort (dillmans.com)

in September.

I've never been there, but I grew up about 150 miles from

there, so I know about a vacation in the north woods.

This might be a good one to bring the husband along -

just send him off fishing (which is great, I'm told) while

you paint!

  Here he is fishing on White Sand Lake

  Here you are in class (notice big

tables, overhead mirror, nice classroom).

  Fall in Wisconsin

Please see my website for all workshop details.

Upcoming Shows - I'm excited to return to the

Downtown Denver Art Festival (May 24 - 26) this year. 

The location has changed to the lawn and canopy area

of the Denver Performing Arts Center. 

I'll be in booth 27.

I have more shows in August, but I'll tell you about

them when the time gets closer.

I am happy to be included again in the International

Society of Acrylic Painters (ISAP) 5th annual

International Open Online Show.  This acceptance gives

me signature status in that organization.

Juror Skip Lawrence chose this painting of mine to

be in the show.

One more thing: My private and semiprivate lessons

conducted right here in my basement studio are for

those who want the fast track to learning about how

I do mixed media.  Send me an email for more info.

As I write this, Denver is due for a blizzard starting

tonight. It's our 4th biggie of the year.  Fortunately,

I LOVE blizzards.  Pea soup will be on the menu.

I hope you're having a flowerful spring, with birds

tweeting and warmer days to come.

Carol
