Draw Off

Oh hello seriously neglected blog...I still ♥ you!

A brief update:
The past weeks have been spent finishing our yard and home improvements posthaste (photos to come). Our Ladywife, as we call her, Whitney got herself married off and we hosted her a mighty fine reception at our house. I think we're all still recovering within the residue of a very long month of preparation. It's fun time now, as she is leaving us soon for Arizona. This past weekend was filled with spontaneously lounging around a fire, night swimming, and meteor watching - staying up to all hours of the morn. It was also the Garland Street fair Saturday - and more importantly the Block Party (that evening)....which is what I am so excited about that it brought me back to post for you. The Draw Off!


Seven2 started the Draw Offs after seeing the sketching, doodling and whiteboarding going on during meetings at work. They've now had 6 of these "live 3 on 3 Art Battles". Essentially 2 teams get an 8 foot square white board and only black pens, paints, and markers. They have 2 hours to make a piece based on the selected theme. It's live and people vote for the winner.

I was so stoked when I heard Terrain was partnering with Seven2 and they asked me to make a team. I picked 2 of my most lovely and talented ladyfriends...Karli Ingersoll and Karla Dagovitz. They ended up being perfect collaborators. Our theme was "The 60's" and we faced off against the Boars Head Tattoo guys...Spoiler alert - we won! Like big time!

Here are some photos my good friend Mitchell took:
(Thanks Midgel ♥)

You can see a bunch more photos of both teams: here - on the Draw off site.

Sun Day

We had originally been planning on going bowling - but the river seemed more inviting. Warm day, great friends, Spokane - near nature (they say)...made for a lovely sunny Sunday. ♥

Day 10....boy she's pretty!

Karla Dagovitz blew me away today! Such a pretty lady dripping down down I found, as I entered the gallery this afternoon. There had been a change in the schedule and Karla got the 14th through the 15th (when one of the artist had to cancel). Megan Martins had the 13th creating a family tree with a forest of red stings hanging down. I love that Karla took those lines and repeated them with her lovely 'Sierra' lady dripping into a dead crow on the ground.

I've been running into Gallery owner Jim Kolva almost every time I stop in. I think we might be on the same schedule. He is delighted with how the show is going! I even got a shot of him snapping some photos of Karla and her works.I helped Dara Harvey bring some stuff in (including her fence). She even brought down her sewing machine...can't wait to see it tomorrow. We are holding our monthly RiverSpeak meeting in the space. How fun is that?!?
