In not quite 2 weeks, I am going to be in this one-night show benefiting Urban Patchwork, the organization that creates a patchwork of organic vegetable gardens in spare sections of people's yards in a few neighborhoods in Austin. This is how we get our awesome, delicious veggies every week or two (most of our veggies, anyway...some things just don't grow well here). I'm very proud of my husband for helping to bring Urban Patchwork to the Cherrywood/French Place neighborbood, and very pleased to be invited to participate in this show with 5 other awesome artists!
If you are in Austin, and feel so inclined, please join us! Art, food, vodka, what's not to like?

Join the discussion+Maude McDonald Please do! One night only...it will be both indoors and out. I'll know more later.
Oh this is wonderful, Marilyn! I want to come!
+Micha Fire Thanks so much, Micha! :)
"Succession" is a grand painting idea / work =))
have fun at your show
+Roberta Murray Thanks, Roberta! :D
This looks like an interesting show. Congrats!
+C.J. Shane Thanks so much! Will do. Aw, it feels so good to be back here again. I love you all so much! Thanks for the interest!!!
+Marilyn Fenn I haven't see Succession. Very nice and a greats idea to put together the smaller canvases. Well...when you decide, let us know what will go in the show. I always enjoy seeing your work posted here on G+.
+C.J. Shane+C.J. Shane Well, I'm working on some new paintings, and I'm hoping to have about 4 new 12x12's, 4 new 8x8 studies, and a couple new larger works, though I think I'm crazy if I think I'm going to actually accomplish all that in < 2 weeks. So, my fallback position is to include most of my recent works that seem to have a plant or life component to them, and I've been asked to include that very large 20-panel painting called "Succession:" http://marilynfenn.com/shop/succession-42/
I'll find out Wednesday how much space I'll have to fill. I'm also considering matting some of my smaller "Organics" series, and having them available like that: http://marilynfenn.com/art/organics/
First of all..love the new profile pic! Secondly, thanks. Just let me know. You can catch me here or email me at 501candids <at> gmail.com. I cover nonprofit events for West Austin News.
+Marilyn Fenn what are you going to be showing in this exhibit? I recognize one of your paintings on this - there on right. What other works?
+Stacey Harrell I bet it would be great, but I should ask, just to be sure. I'll let you know...soon.
Oooo! This sounds great. I'll put this down on my calendar. Are you inviting media? If my publisher signs off on it I'd love to cover it for our paper.
