Today I went by La Retma Library which is Corus Christi's Main Library. I delivered some work there on Wednesday for a Show and they already had it up. They are so organized. The show has already been judged and I was told that all 3 of my pieces won awards. So in past shows they have had a rule where you can only win one award per person which I kind of like, so I wasn't expecting to get three awards. I got a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards. 1st in Sculpture as my Frida in the cigar box was considered a sculpture. 2nd and 3rd in painting. It is a beautiful library. Here are some photos.

South Texas Art League 87th Anniversary Exhibition
ArtWalk and Rebel Toad Brewery
Rebel Toad Brewing Co. is owned by our neighbors and Nathali asked me if I wouldn't like to paint or for Corpus Christi's First Friday ArtWalk. For my Scottish followers and friends, you wouldn't believe how hot is was but I was having so much fun I didn't think about it too much. Plus there was beer to drink. lol and Too Chico, which is a thing here. Of course I painted Frida Kahlo as she is so popular here but she is drinking a Rebel Toad for sure.

I was really excited to have them contact me. San Antonio is not far from us and I also had some work in the yearly Show at the Art League of San Antonio. They put on. a lovely show. Here I am picking up my painting.

Danzante
I so enjoy going to Ballet Folklorico Shows and Alcorta's Compañía de Danza Folklórica can really put on a good show. They had a show Friday April 22, 2022 and I was able to get a front row seat and take photos. I ended up painting one of the photos which was a bit unusual for me as there was a mask over his face. I just loved the lighting. So something different.

Our Lady of Guadalupe
I can't decide wether to name this painting the Lady of Guadalupe or Our Lady of Corpus Christi. The model is from Corpus Christi as I like all my models to be local. She posed for me outside the Cathedral of Our Lady of Corpus Christi and later once I had finished the painting and framed it from Laredo Frames, Father Joe blessed the painting in the Cathedral. So, I'm not sure what the title should be. Again I loved my beautiful model Teresa. I used real gold leaf which was something new for me. I want to do a full size painting one day but his was close at 2x4'.
