Great time at stART in the Park!

It was great to meet so many people at stART in the Park in Worcester this past weekend. So happy to meet new Art Card collectors! I look forward to seeing you all at stART on the Street in September. Many new works will be available.

I am now considering starting an Indie Zine all about artist cards. Your input is most appreciated!

ALSO INTRODUCING: My first children's book, The Lucky Blue Lobster. Meet Louie and find out why he is so lucky. This is a wonderful story about being yourself and how being different is sometimes a very lucky thing. Available only on http://www.lerayjessdesigns.etsy.com/ !

View the Art in Person

Hello everyone. My ACEOs and larger artwork will be shown and be for sale at the Heirloom Artisan Expo this Sunday, 4/13, from 10-4 at the Holiday Inn in Taunton, MA. This is going to be a wonderful event featuring (and run by) etsy artists! We'd love to see you there. In fact, print out this page and bring it with you for $2 off any item at the Lerayjess Designs booth!! Be sure to view my handpainted beads at http://bostonbakedbeads.blogspot.com as well - I paint those in a style that is similar to my abstract paintings. I'll have them at the expo too.

See you there or on etsy - www.lerayjessdesigns.etsy.com .

Sister blog - Boston Baked Beads!

ACEO Market now has a sister blog - http://www.bostonbakedbeads.blogspot.com featuring beautiful hand painted porcelain beads and the Bead of the Month Club!

I just love to paint, and it has spread to my bead addiction.

Been busy in the studio

Thanks for all the great comments! I love to hear from my readers. Please feel free to comment or send me a message anytime.

I've been busy painting big and small paintings to get ready for the upcoming art show season! I've been juried into some shows: The Heirloom Artisan Expo in Taunton MA in April, and the Art in the Park festival in Worcester MA in June. I'll list their links down at the end of this post. Check it out, and come see me in person. In fact, print out this page and get $2 off any ACEO at either show.

In the paintings and ACEOs, I've been combining the triangulated style with my more colorful swirly abstracts. What do you think? My style is definitely identifiable, yet ever evolving.

Here is a new ACEO I painted this morning - she is painted in watercolor and ink and is called "She Sees You". I have done a series of triangulated faces and many more can be seen at www.lerayjessdesigns.com .
