Teacher Steps Out...
"Teacher Steps Out" © Jeff Condon
...is the title of this great piece by fellow art fair artist, Jeff Condon - he is one of the reasons I was inspired to paint on cardboard, that and whenever kids come to my studio that's what I provide as canvas...they can make nice size pieces of art at no cost and for me it takes the edge off feeling like I have to make something GREAT because I'm using canvas or wood that I paid for. Jeff does beautiful pastels and oil paintings of interiors and rural landscapes which I love but it was a fun treat to find these 'off the wall' pastels of women's legs on corrugated cardboard in his booth at the 57th Street Art Fair earlier this summer. Visit his website to see the rest of the paintings behind these thumbnails of his beautiful work...
"Teacher Steps Out" hangs in my office with my cat painting by artist Cher Shaffer and Dot ...the stuffed, hand painted dog that I made...hopefully coming to a store near you one day in the not too distant future!

Hi anne
how is it going with the latest venture...I won't mention the name since it may not be a done deal yet. Having a wonderful summer with lots of munchkins here, traveling here and there, out on the boat... back now and regrouping with work and getting ready for the seminar.
keep me posted on things...I am crossing my fingers for you...and I want a polka dotted dog!
best,
carol

Jeff is also very SWEET! He is the featured artist at the Plaza Art Fair in September.
Can't wait to you Anne : )
