Getting ready to start up a new group.  I think there is some interest in Polymer Clay in this area.  The group will be "Ouachita Mountain Polymer Clay Guild" meeting the 3rd Tuesday of the month from 9 AM-12 noon sharing with hands on polymer clay techniques each month.  This way everyone will begin to learn more about the medium.  The location will be in the Hot Springs Village, AR area.  For more information contact Marlene Gremillion.

Check out a class I taught in Polymer Clay at the National Park Community College not too long ago.Polymer Clay Class at NPCC

Here are a few pieces I have created

Although it is fall I continue to think of flowers.  I so enjoy painting and teaching the large flowers and love to see others learn.  Here is an iris painted just a little differently.  Large yellow iris, off centered on the page in watercolor on 300lb arches paper 30x22inches.  Background green with a blurred affect. Yellow is always a challenge to get good contrast.  I am pleased with the piece.  It is available so you may contact me for information www.marlenegremillion.com

The crisp air and fall colors today got me in the mood.  Pulled out the Polymer Clay and made autumn leaves.  Now what to do with them?????  Would be nice in a mixed media painting but would also be nice to just have to sit in a cluster.  Decisions????  Stay posted for a follow up.

Thinking how pretty the state of Arkansas is today after the rain we are receiving.  I make Arkansas Charms of Fine Silver Metal Clay and you may find them at "All Things Arkansas" in Hot Springs, Arkansas.  Here is a sample of earrings.

Another BEAUTIFUL day in the Neighborhood with intermittent rain.  So wonderful to see. Sort of makes me feel like one of my watercolor paintings.  This one SOLD but you may contact me for custom work.

Listening to a symphony this morning... We are finally getting rain.

Matting and framing up some newer pieces in preparation for my upcoming exhibit in Mountain Home, Arkansas at the Vada Shead Art Gallery on the ASU Mountain Home campus.  They are requesting 40-50 pieces.  Not sure I can fit all of this in my little auto but will certainly try or rent a U-Haul!

The show opens on August 3 after hanging with a reception on August 6, 2015 from 4-6PM public welcome. 

The exhibit will be up until August 30. 
Gallery hours are 8am-5pm Monday - Friday
