This is an old favorite of mine - one I could never let go. And now, I've managed to scratch the varnish so I have to do some repair work on it anyway. It was pointed out to me when I first published it that I spelled 'Starlight' wrong, without the 'i'. And here was the thing... I didn't care about the spelling per se. It was the look I was after, the look of the whole.
BUT, I've been having a wonderful week - I am fortunate enough to have been asked to be the guest co-host of the radio show "Artists Helping Artists' by Leslie Saeta for the month of April. Today was my first day and I LOVED it! Leslie makes it easy, though, being so organized and generous. You can listen to the show or download the podcast any time Today we talked about the Top 10 Tips to Jump Start Your Art Career.
I've been slaving away this week, varnishing, framing, etc. etc. I just am immersed in getting a slew of paintings prepped. And in addition I'm having hard drive issues (Can you HEAR it crashing?) just when I need to access images- aye-yi-yi! OH! And I'm hosting the Girls Just Wanna Paint group at my studio on Saturday - and hey... isn't it Easter on Sunday???? Somehow it will all happen. I am sure of it. New hard drive on Friday. Wish me luck!
You are a busy lady and doing it all so well! I love this little starlght! :)
ReplyDeleteToutes mes félicitations...

Luck luck luck!! This piece (hah!) is delightful!
ReplyDeleteLove this little gem..So looking forward to hearing YOU on Artists Helping artists AND come down to your studio on Saturday...what a week!
ReplyDeleteKelley whenever reach for a mint. I think of you...how's that for branding!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, love all your candy paintings. So fun and nice. Second of all, can't wait to tune in to Kelley radio. Good luck with the balancing act.
ReplyDeleteStarlight mints are my favorite...with or without the I! Love this piece. AND I loved the AHA show...you did a great job. Leslie was a genius for selecting you as her co-host this month. As for being so busy...don't forget to breathe...in then out...in then out...have a great week.
ReplyDeleteFun, fun, fun and yum, yum, yum!!! Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteNever tell the viewer everythingS That's what keeps 'em looking! See how long that person stayed at your blog while he was tracing the letters! Whoo-ee!
ReplyDeleteFun is right! Just perfect the way it is. Great job on AHA radio- you are a pro! Keep up the good work!!
ReplyDeleteLove the mint Kelley! And I think the impression of that plastic wrapper is perfectly done. :)) So cool that you're April's host! How awesome. :))
ReplyDeleteI saw the title and thought..."Till her daddy takes her t-bird away"...am I dating myself??? Such a fun piece with or without the I!
ReplyDeleteGood grief! I better keep my day job so I don't have to work so hard. Love this mint too! I listened to most of the AHA show this morning while getting ready for work. Great job! I've got to listen again so I can take notes.
ReplyDeleteWell, the "look of the whole" is fantastic, and you can always take a remedial spelling class when your schedule opens up. LOL. (: I just wanted to tell you again, great job on blogtalk!!
ReplyDeleteAnd . . . your off!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Kelley-girl! Of course candy is the second best thing to a donut.
Kelley, your blog is always terrific, just love your work, and your messages! I missed your radio show , but will have to go back and play catch up! Can hardly wait! Have a beautiful Easter weekend!
ReplyDeleteI would never have noticed that - you captured such a cool and icy/minty feeling in the piece. Imagine my surprise when I heard your voice on the radio show! A little bit of ole' Rhode Island; I am really glad I moved but miss it as well. You did a great job on the show - I never would have known you hadn't been doing it for eons!
ReplyDeleteRight, no one ever noticed :D
ReplyDeleteI love this one.
