BUSY-BUSY-BUSY!

JUDY BURGARELLA'S AGENDA ~
Below is where I will be exhibiting, and is a good listing of local shows/events worthy of being in or going to.  If you are an artist you may want to investigate some of these.  As of this posting, some shows are already over, however many will be repeated in 2016, so mark your calendar for next year.  If you want to view my body of work, the best one to go to is the Sebastian Art Studio Tour, February 7th.  My studio and home will be open all day with artworks everywhere, along with 10 other studios in Sebastian.  A must-see!

Cats! Cats! and more Cats!

Tracy & Turhan's five little furballs

Finished the last of Tracy's cats last night.  Started the first cat in acrylic as a demo on Thursday, but had scant time to work on it.  Didn't revisit the project until Sunday, when I finished all 5.  Those exercizes in "Challenge" speed paintings are really helping me to paint fast, especially in acrylic.  Although the push was on, this was a fun project, and hopefully they will get to my daughter's on time.  Her and her husband have 5 beautiful cats whom they love dearly, so the below portraits of them should please them both.  Just wish I could be there to see them open the portraits.  The red background will go perfectly with their red checkered kitchen.

With the holidays approaching and lots of people coming, there will be no painting (except tomorrow at my classroom in Vero).  Have a portrait commission and triptyk in the planning stages.  Five major events to work on too: 1)  Dorothy Starbuck's workshop I've organized for January 5-6; 2) Vero Beach Mural Reception and Launch party January 12th (I'm one of three artists who worked on it for a year); 3) The Sebastian River Art Club's 75th Anniversary Reception, I am Chairing; 4) The Sebastian Art Studio Tour, which I am participating in an handling publicity; 5) Stepping Stone Quilter's Show in the Sebastian River Art Club's Art Center to be installed January 2nd.  So many wonderful events happening back-to-back, how lucky to be living here, and working with so many swell artsy people!
