Uptown Cafe Update

  "Autumn Glow" 8x8 Wrapped Canvas

Fall is coming and the art at Uptown Cafe has been replaced with some gorgeous fall scenes including two of my pieces.  I love blending the reds and golds like this and the texture makes this one even more interesting.  Stop by the cafe for a visit and check out the new artwork from the members of the Roswell Fine Art Alliance. 

Uptown Cafe Art Exhibit

I am so excited to let everyone know that five of my pieces are currently being exhibited (for sale) at Uptown Cafe located at the intersection of Nesbit Ferry Road and Old Alabama Road, in Johns Creek/Roswell,  just down the street from my home ! 

My artwork will be there until late September, so,,,,if you are looking for a wonderful breakfast, brunch or lunch, be sure to stop by the cafe and enjoy the beautiful artwork along with a delicious meal.  You may see something you love.

I recently discovered that the kind folks at Uptown are supporting our local Roswell Fine Arts Alliance members by allowing them to display (and sell) their artwork inside their fabulous location.  The RFAA is a great group and will be opening a new gallery near the new library location on Holcomb Bridge Road, not far from the cafe. As a new member, I will definitely be sending out an update when they finalize their new gallery plans.

If you decide to visit the cafe, my favorite is the Ricotta Cheese Pancakes, TDF !

Ed loves their huge cheese and spinach omelets. 

You will not be disappointed in the food and you will definitely enjoy the beautiful art !

Happy Valentines' Day !

Happy Valentines Day !  This design is being featured today along with several of my other 'HEARTS' on the Crafts 'n Coffee blog.  So take a minute today to relax, sit down and enjoy browsing through all of the wonderful crafting and DIY ideas that Sharon shares with her followers everyday.  I wish I could focus like she does and sit down everyday long enough to blog more often, but, it will not be happening for me right now.  Just too many other things pulling at me these days.  I do hope to share a lot more in the next few months, so I'm not giving up  !

Never Give Up !

I am honored to have one of my Christmas designs included in this year's Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Crafts publication.  Many years ago one of my goals was to have one of my designs published by Better Homes and Gardens.  So today I can say that I have learned a lesson in never giving up on those goals no matter how long it might take.  Once again, many thanks to the continued support of Sharon Currier, for making this happen.  And I sincerely appreciate the editors at BH&G for selecting my design out of all of those that they had to choose from.  So here it is -

    I am also very honored to say THANKS to Sharon and Cindy Gorder, the editor of Decorating Digest Craft & Home Projects publication, for including several of my designs in their Fall issue.  This is a wonderful magazine that always showcases easy DIY home decorating projects as well as great reviews of newly published how to books.
