What’s new, from Theresa’s Facebook site:
Things got busy and I didn't post about Armadillocon, which was held last weekend. I'll try to make some amends now.
I had artwork in the art show, and Pegasus Publishing was there with T shirts featuring my artwork. This con is held each year in Austin, Texas, and you can learn more about it here: https://armadillocon.org/d46/
I do hope that everyone who attended had a great time, and thanks to the art show staff for handling my artwork even though it came screeching in via mail in at the last possible moment. I will try to do better in terms of mailing earlier and posting about the convention next year!

Ready for day two of the Utah Renaissance Faire - if we don't blow away.
Coming up August 23-25, I will have artwork in the art show at Bubonicon 55 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. With this year's theme for the con being "Fantasy Wildlife and Animal Companions," my art should fit right in! I'm featuring sneak peeks of a couple of the original pieces that I sent. There are more, and there's a selection of prints, too. he titles of these two are "Wise Owl" and "Story Time" respectively. They're shown here before framing - both are triple matted and framed and have accent gems.
I can't be at the con in person this year, but I do hope everyone attending has a fantastic time! 🙂 https://www.bubonicon.com/

This coming weekend, we'll be at the Utah Renaissance Faire along with our tent full of art and assorted arty goodness. This is the Faire that used to be at Thanksgiving Point, but grew too big and needed another venue. I missed the mini event last year due to an unfortunate clobbering by teh covid right before the event, but we're back for 2024 and so is the whole full sized Faire! It's now at the Mt Nebo Botanical Farm in Mona where it has room to grow. If you look at the map of the Faire on the royal website, we're in the market area close to the compass, near the "Royal Banquet Grounds," I'm scheduled to be facing the woods, so you may have to search for me. https://utahrenfaire.utahvalleyarts.com/
We're looking forward to returning to the Faire and the new grounds look lovely from the pictures I've seen. Jousting! Food! Music! Fun! Huzzah!

Today's original is the last available new one I'm going to post for a couple of weeks because I have a convention art show coming up as well as an event I'm planning on attending which I will need lots of artwork for.
Poppy Dancer is inspired by a lovely photograph of a Renaissance Faire dancer taken by my good friend Robert Torres of Robert T Photography https://www.facebook.com/RobertTPhotography . I loved the pose of the dancer and asked if I could use the photo as reference, and he said yes! So I posed a dancer on poppy jasper, a stone that has natural flower shapes in poppy colors. I had to work around the best "poppies" in the stone, and use some areas as patterned fabric, and the end result is Poppy Dancer.
Poppy Dancer has a Swarovski crystal accent on her necklace and is framed in a poppy red frame that measures 5x7 inches on the inside edge. I placed some swirl patterned brass corners on it to bring the whole piece together.
This piece is $165 including shipping to the lower 48. Please message me if interested. And do check out Robert's work, we've been friends for many years and I've very much enjoyed seeing him hone his craft.
