April 2008

You may have noticed I've got a brand new look. I've decided, after much long hard thought, it was time for a more sophisticated look, and to say goodbye to "the Flying Pickle" moniker. You will still be able to access this site through the old name, but now www.MarieVlasic.com and www.VlasicStudio.com will be the main website addresses. Do let me know what you think. Spring has finally landed here in Denver with a gorgeous day and a high of 63 (of course, this being Colorado, it could snow tomorrow!) I'm sitting here enjoying a lovely sangria, then it's back to work. Only 3 months till Cherry Creek!

March 2008

Work work work...not much else to report. Just had a big birthday (never ask a lady how old she is!) and will be celebrating with friends this weekend. Still searching for a new band, but it is on the back burner till I get through the Cherry Creek Arts Festival (4th of July Weekend) In fact, pretty much everything is on the back burner till then. I did open up an "etsy.com" store. (seller ID theflyingpickle). I will be offering things there that are not generally available, so check it out! Etsy is a specialty site selling all handmade items. Just a quick note to catch up, now back to work! Happy first day of spring...

January 2008

Ai yai yai...what a year was 2007. Lots of ups and downs, and lots of paintings. I won't bore you with a total recap of 2007...all is well, the "kids" (my 2 dogs) are happy & yappy; the boyfriend is well; I'm no longer singing with File 13 (the band), and am currently searching for a new band as well as playing and writing with my boyfriend. (he's an amazing pro guitar player). I closed my Santa Fe Arts District studio and am back to working from home. I just found out that I was selected to exhibit at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, the #1 outdoor art show in the country, for the second time this year. I am very honored to be selected, as less than 10% of the applicants got in. It's a bit of a good/bad, as it does mean I'll have to work twice as hard between now and July to create an inventory for the show. If you'd like to see what I'm up to, email me at theflyingpickle@hotmail.com and I'll put you on my emailing list. My email client list gets the first "Sneak Peak" of all new work. I have some fantastic painting ideas for the festival...I do hope all of your holidays were fantastic, and that your New Year is happy and prosperous!
