Some news ...
by Linda Benton McCloskey on 3/13/2009 10:19:38 AM



I was contacted by MMCA (Mixed Media Collage Artists) for an online interview.  You can view this interview at http:mmcamarketplace.typepad.com/mmca_marketplace/2009/02/index.html.

This past weekend I taught a 2-˝ day encaustic workshop sponsored by the Art Association of Harrisburg.  The weather was good to us - it was warm and the winds were calm.  With encaustic it’s imperative to keep the doors and windows open for ventilation.  I contacted all my students asking them to dress warmly since it was the beginning of March and anything weather-wise was possible….but the good Lord was smiling down on us and the weather turned out to be beautiful.  Some wonderful pieces were created!

Since I have a break from teaching (my next classes start in April) it’s time to  clean and organize my home studio (which is an upstairs converted bedroom).  It amazes me how quickly I can completely lose control of my area!  It looks like a hurricane went through it.  (A complaint from most artists I might add) One of my main problems is lack of space.  Since my love of many mediums exist (watercolor, acrylic, oil, pastel, encaustic, collage), I simply have “too much stuff”.  I am in the process of looking for a larger studio outside my home.  However, my search is proving to be difficult.  I long for a building here in my local area to house artists such as the Banana Factory in Bethlehem.  Anyway, I plan to work on my studio and reorganize AGAIN for the next few days.  So wish me luck.  Till next time …
