A New Year! So Many New Opportunities!

Each new year is a new beginning....but of what?  New thoughts?  New goals?  New waistline measurement? :-)  I wish everyone who reads this an exciting (safe and happy) new adventure this year! 
I will be working toward adding many more works of art and fine craft here for all to view...and purchase if liked!
Thank you to all...and to all a goodnight.... ;-)

New Paintings!



Chicago Shore




Hoover Dam and Bypass 2010

 I mentioned in earlier blogs that I was working on several paintings.  Here they are!  Chicago Shore and Hoover Dam and Bypass 2010.  Both inspired by wonderful, amazing locations.  I hope you enjoy them.

Chicago!

Chicago Skyline

Just got back from nearly a week in Chicago!  What a beautiful city!  I visitied the Art Institute two days in a row and came back completely inspired.  Will be painting for days!

Nelson's Landing

Spent the morning taking photos at Nelson in the El Dorado Valley near Boulder City, NV.  Great pictures that will inspire great paintings....I hope! :-)   An interesting place, this.  A large gold mining community at one time, now a touristy stop on the way to practically no where!  There are mine tours and some river rafting available, so it is worth the trip, but be aware that although you have access to the river below Hoover Dam there is no camping allowed because of the extreme danger of flash floods.  Apparently, some years ago there were a lot of people killed there because a flash flood occurred and drowned the unsuspecting victims who were near the river.  A very sad tale. 
Back to happier thoughts!  A lovely day and beautiful photos for inspiration!
Talk to you soon.  :-)

Working on a painting of Hoover Dam and the new bypass!

Seems everyone is excited to see pictures of the new Hoover Dam bypass bridge.  I decided a painting of these two modern marvels might be of some interest to locals and tourists alike!  I'll upload a picture of the paintings when it's done so keep watching my blog.  :-)

Jewelry

Just wanted to say I'll be dropping of a necklace and earring set to The Corner Gallery in Boulder City today.  Something fun!  If you have a chance to stop by and see my work I'd love some feed back.
Thank!

My Bonanzle Site

Hi there,
Just wanted to remind everyone that I also sell my work on the Bonanzle website.  Just click on the link below to go to my booth there.  This is a really good site with a lot of interesting things for sale...not just mine, though I'd be thrilled if you found something of mine that you couldn't live without!  :-)

Another Day!

Day Two and still trying to get this blog up and running.  Finally, after many tries, I was able to get my slideshow playing!  A great accomplishment...I'm an artist, NOT a techy!   Now working on the adsense thing.... :-(  Hoping I did it right and ads will appear soon. 

My art is also being shown in two Galleries in Boulder City, NV.  The Corner Gallery on Arizona Street has several paintings and Eclectica on the Nevada Hwy (main street) also has several of my works.  I'm very excited to be in two locations! 

I am participating in the Boulder City Art in the Park event this coming October, 2nd and 3rd.  I'll update you all with info...what booth number, etc. as the event nears.  This is a wonderful event that benefits the Boulder City Hospital so everyone please come out and support this worth while event and plan to stop by and say hi to me!

Art....

Trying to start an Art career....at my age!  Oh well, gotta try!  :-)  You can check out (and hopefully buy) my original work on my website:  fayealane.com
or you can buy prints at:  faye-simak.artistwebsites.com 
Hope you enjoy what you see!
