I’m so excited to share that I’ve won my first juried show with this painting titled: Edge of Day an 18 x 24 acrylic on cradled wood featuring bright colors, impasto, and glazing techniques. artbykpgarner.com/blog/my-first-…#artbykpgarnere#acrylici#originalartr#paintingartworkr#myartrt

My art is now on display at Pottery Place Plus in Spokane! I'm looking forward to sharing my work with the community and working alongside the gifted artists at the gallery. If you're in the area, please stop by and check out all the amazing work available there.

I’m going to call this painting “Memories” in honor of my mother who once had a job gathering it. I love painting yarrow flowers. That love was a seed planted in my childhood and is truly a gift from a mother I adore.

One of the 221 Featherweights I purchased came with a case that smelled so bad I couldn’t bring it inside. It was either restore or trash it. I’m restoring it! I’ve taken it down to the wood and treated the mold with white vinegar. Now I get to learn how to recover it. Good times. 😄

In addition to painting I’ve taken up vintage sewing machine restoration. It started as a hobby and has evolved into something more. I’ve even set myself up with a website! www.rewindandsew.com

My second Homestead Star quilt. This was created for a lovely lady I know who suffered a house fire just before Thanksgiving. She adores dragonflies so I chose the Dragonfly Illusions fabric, variegated quilting thread, and used 6mm bamboo batting. It’s kept me from painting but I have no regrets!

As this is my first official post to Bluesky I have to confess, I’m a bit at a loss for what to say except hello! I hope you found this post while enjoying a nice cup of something you love and after looking at fun posts that left you smiling. Oh, and here’s a sample of my art. artbykpgarner.com
