Loving Fall!

My favorite season has rolled around - the trees are starting to turn, there's that crips air in the morning - I love fall! There's something about this time of year that gets my creative juices going. I'm finishing up several pieces, but here's one I just posted on my site, called Moving On. Check out Mixed Media Gallery XII on my site for all my new works.

Final Outdoor Art Fair!

It's the final outdoor fair of the season for me - this weekend in LaGrange at West End Art Festival! Don't forget the promotion on my Facebook page (Valerie Lorimer Contemporary Arts) - you can still use this at the LaGrange fair this weekend. Hope to see you there.

I'll be at the Downers Grove Art Festival this weekend. Hope you can come!

Illustration Friday – Star Gazing

Happy Friday everyone! I was just finishing this piece for an exhibit next week when I saw this week's theme. It just seemed perfect for my version of "star gazing." Hope you enjoy it.

Print Giveaway!

You can win two of my prints - starting August 11!





Just head over to Spring's site next Wednesday to enter to win. I'm the Wednesday Artist Spotlighthis wonderful site. Good luck! And if you don't win, but really like the prints, they're both available on my website for purchase.

Illustration Friday – Caged

When I saw this week's theme, this piece instantly popped into my head as the perfect entry for Caged. It's called Locked on the Edge of Time. It was done for a recent show at a local art league.

Moody Blues

Love these little artist panels mounted on wood! They're so much fun to play with. This is my latest creation called Moody Blues.
