So Glad it is Friday! Painting progress and plans for the weekend

Hi!<br />Its Friday which means I survived the work week without turning into a puddle of uninspired meat and bones. Yay!<br />...Oh yea, and I am almost done with the painting i have been working on:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4349814495/" title="painting at home by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="painting at home" height="335" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2678/4349814495_fde5ab7ca0.jpg" width="500"></a><br />This is a photo that Danny took of me last night as i was starting to paint the Fish of Perception's posse behind her in the water. In the end i ended up with three eyes coming out of the waves to the right and then one eye just barely emerging from the surface of the water on the left. I think i should be able to finish up the painting this weekend. i just need to go over everything with a extra bit of color and highlight to make it pop a bit more. Once i am done with that i will do the varnishing and take some pics to share.<br />In this photo i am wearing my new head band that i got in the mail yesterday. I traded for it on etsy with Baahar. She is in Austria and she hand makes all sorts of lovely head bands, scarves and beanies. check out her etsy shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/baahar"><strong>here!</strong></a><strong><br /></strong>Also, enter the <strong>GiveAway</strong> that Baahar is putting on in her blog! Its called : <a href="http://www.baahar.net/?p=276"><strong>Give Hope, a giveaway for Haiti</strong></a><strong><br /></strong><br />So yea...plans for today would be to stop by <a href="http://portlandloveshow.com/"><strong>the 5th Annual Portland Love art show</strong></a> because its opening night! Danny and I have a few pieces in the show as do some friends. I heard that there are over 350 artists with work in the show so its going to be a monstrous show and i bet the opening is gonna be crammed like sardines in a can. Should be interesting!<br /><br />Then tomorrow i will be doing another body painting photo shoot session at T.Ruth Artspace gallery(2403 NW Thurman st) in Portland Oregon. This one should be interesting because i will be painting and photographing a darker African American woman thus i get to experiment with using white paint instead of black. im sooo ready for a change with this project thus i am really looking forward to this shoot! If you are in the area, feel free to drop by. We will be hanging out painting and photographing from 10:00am to 5pm! And at T.Ruth artspace there is always all sorts of interesting art to look at as well as complementary yummy hot tea and goodies : )<br /><br />Hope everyone has a wondrous weekend. Try not to be the good lil worker bees and make a big consumerist deal out of Valentines day :)<br /><br />PEACE n LOVE,<br />-Chelsea Rose<br /><a href="http://www.chelsearosearts.com/">ChelseaRoseArts.com</a><br /><br />P.S.<br />much love to all my new followers. your support is greatly appreciated!!
