Bluecanvas Contest
Bluecanvas is the name of an art magazine as well as a artist community website where you can share your work-not unlike many others such as Deviantart, myartspace, Redbubble, etc. I have found that I have received the best feedback from this site from mature (so to speak) amateur and professional artists.
They are having a contest that will provide an opportunity to be published in the magazine plus win some money!
The submission is free but they do ask you to join the community-which is also free.
For those interested follow the link for information on the contest and Bluecanvas
For an example of what you get if you join - just follow my link to my Bluecanvas page!

All Together Alice Plus
Here is a partial look at Alice in progress and the finished product-it has been hung in Williams Hall for the time being with the rest of the group.
This statement was written by the visiting professor Jenna Kuiper.
This is the group as they hang in Williams Hall.
The miniatures.
I believe this is the third landscape painting I have done.
I think this is my favorite painting from this semester.

Professor Taylor's Incredible Knitting Project
Dr. Stephanie Taylor teaches art history at NMSU-this she does very well. She also has a great love and talent for knitting. Last semester while teaching a craft seminar she introduced the idea of a knitting project that would tie the Art Department to other departments around the NMSU campus with a four inch mile long crimson "artery".
The students that attended the craft seminar were taught to knit by the professor and the more enthusiastic of the group have continued to contribute to this campaign. This fall even more have joined the knitting fracas! Over 20 people attended the first "knit in" of the semster and the group that met today numbered about the same (Columbus Day-October 10, 2011).
Sometimes called yarn bombing the campus would be the first achievment in a greater plan that will ultimately involve the community of Las Cruces (perhaps taking it down town) and finally the lengths of yarn will be made into to blankets to be donated where they are most needed.
The first phase of this event is planned for Valentines Day in 2012 if all goes as planned.
Anyone who would like to be a part of this project is welcome-knit or crochet. It is not necessary that you be a student but if you are one of Dr. Taylors students there might be some extra credit in it-but you didn't hear it from me!
What follows are images and a short video of todays knitting extraveganza!

Knitting needles are fashionable.
