May is rushing up to meet me. That's the month my show opens at the Jacob's Gallery in Eugene, Oregon. As you could guess, I'm beginning to feel the pressure of matting, framing and completing all those paintings. It's all about the vintage neon signs I've been so fascinated with. I've been pursuing this theme for over a year and even though they are so technical in nature, I have not become too tired of them- I still get excited when I find a new prospect to paint. I'm currently painting some signs found right here in Eugene. I'm hoping that will generate some hometown excitement for the show.
Part of being ready for this is having good contact info and that means I needed to create a website that shows my work in easy to browse categories. I built this site with a company called Fine Art Studios Online or FASO.com. Check out all my work by clicking on the link , joneileemery.com
I'm doing two demos in January, both on Thursday! One will be for an art group in Junction City, and the other will be for the art guild I belong to- Pacific Rim Art Guild in Eugene. I'm looking forward to celebrating the unique things watercolor can do with both groups of artists. That's the best part of collaborating together. We get to share what we feel passionate about and encourage others to pursue theirs! Everyone has something they know how to do. What's your passion? Find someone you can encourage. How refreshing to have somebody say to you, "You could do this. I want to see what you will do." Be the one to blow wind into someone else's sails and watch them succeed!
