I hope everyone had a happy weekend. I spent my Saturday gallery sitting at the Del Ray Artisans for their “What’s Your Bag?” exhibition. The show features artwork that depicts bags in our culture as well as art made from recycled bags. A lot of handmade bags were also included in the show.
Here’s the piece that I had hanging in the exhibition, “The Reader.” There’s a book bag resting on the ground next to the figure spread out on the park bench.
I thought I’d have a productive art-filled weekend, however I was feeling pretty sick and had to spend half my weekend either sleeping or laying in bed. I love keeping busy, so it was pretty difficult for me to force myself to rest up so I could recover. Now I’m feeling much better, and I’m glad I took it easy instead of working away.
Megan…
first, i hope you are feeling better.
i.ve been down with a really dumb (but painful) back injury and it makes me VERY GRUMPY!

Glad you’re feeling better, I can definitely identify with what you’ve said about resting ha ha!
Can’t wait to see your next finished picture.
I like the subtle “bag” in your collage.
