And all of a sudden… it’s December

Hello creative friends! Blogging is like riding a bike, right?! Don't know where the time has gone and I can't believe its December! It's been a whirlwind of a year... and a doozie of a hurr-i-cane season. The past week was eventful, jam packed and I got ALL the things accomplished (work included). 

 

I have lots of exciting things coming up to share! November concluded with my delivery of 14 pieces to an exhibition which is on display December 1 through January 3 at the Plunge Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale.

 

 

 

If you look close you can see some of my 16" x 20" framed photos lined up along the bar. A fun-fact... I cut ALL my own mats! I got myself a tool to do it back in the day when I had a studio. Cutting mats is a labor of love – yet so rewarding to have everything fit to size with a pretty beveled edge. PUH-lease don't get me started on the warped mat board I got from M-store that made this process so much more challenging to cut. I soldiered on and muscled the curved board into the frames. Everything looks beautiful!! I am especially excited to debut a NEW SERIES of photographic works using Cyanotype process. No sneak peeks yet, but I promise I will share soon.

 

 

 

Plunge is a low-key, laid-back seaside retreat for chic bohemians and beach lovers alike. It has a modern, open industrial style lobby that is ALL about the LOCAL artists. Every month has a new exhibition and works are for sale - at any time! The exhibitions rotate every 3-4 weeks throughout the year. I was part of a group exhibition last November with the Weston Art Guild, where I had two photos displayed. I try to get over to see each one and treat myself to lunch or dinner at their beach bar. 

 

 

 

If you are LOCAL to me in SoFL – all are invited to the free open house reception on Wednesday, December 18th. Two artists (Tammy and Maria) are friends from the Gold Coast Watercolor Society (yes I am painting again), and I look forward to meeting and seeing the work of the other two artists.

Looking forward to the event! And if you are following me on IG { @sassyeyedsusan } I will post some pix there and if connectivity allows, I'll try to go live.

 

Oh... I almost forgot. It is now COOKIE SEASON! I am part of the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies Bloghop. Pop over to Try-It, Like It for the details. My recipe is on Day 9!

Happy December! :) Sb
