This is the final piece that will be displayed with my collection. I’ve got a ton of paperwork, scanning etc. to do (and I’m waiting for this guy to dry) so I’ll check back with you with photos of everything on display and a YouTube Vid once they’re all hung. Keep in mind, this is a “window exhibit”, meaning I have a 16″ wide by 5″ high glass enclosed window area where they’ll be exhibited for 2 months to about 30,000 people who walk through this particular area. If I had more pieces in my collection, I’d have a regular gallery show, but since my paintings are never in my posession for very long (yay!), I couldn’t hog up a whole gallery with one wall worth of work. Still, it’s a great thing to have the exposure on a local level.

Leanne, you never cease to amaze me. I knew when I saw this WIP in person it was destined to be a masterpiece. I am so excited about your exhibit that I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep tonight! Congrats to you on your beautiful pieces and for following your dreams, gallery queen!

why did i stay out so long today?? i could have seen this bad boy sooner!!! it’s gorgeous!! truly a show stopper! and i think the highlight of your show!! if i had enough money this guy would be headed to new mexico after his exhibit!! 🙂 what’s his price tag gonna be?
It is gorgeous!!! :bunny:
It’s stunning!!! I love it. :good:
you are such a good influence ya know? seeing you be so motivated all the time and get sooo much done! it had me itching to paint, even though i have so much unpacking to do! so i did a little quickie tonight. aaaaaaaah. relief. i feel better.
This would look so good in my bathroom. But, it probably is too big and the paint would fall off the canvas due to my hot showers. But, I LOVE THIS.
THIRTY THOUSAND? WOW! I believe you will sell out fast!!!
This is so exciting!
I’m stunned. I’m still stunned. This is just beautiful!!!!!!

it’s beautimous! I always found drawing easier than painting, so I’m envious of your talent. 🙂
Leanne! I thought you’d never be able to top your work on the lab, but when I opened your blog and saw this I actually gasped!!!! This is just beyond words!! I also am so envious of you!!!! You are so totally talented and thank GOD you’re using your gifts so well!!! I just am so speachless that I can’t stop talking!!!

Great job Leanne!!
I am over from Laura’s and have been looking at your work…you are amazing. Just amazing. I like everything I’ve seen no wonder you can’t hold on to any of your work!
Wonderful work Leanne,
I have just finished carving a life size blue heron. He is a mobile that will be driven by the action of waves on a lake. Waves will cause his wings to move as he hangs over the shore line.
I am ready to paint him but need color references. Can you share the colors used to so beautifully capture this bird?
