My 1st Art Exhibit- Stay Gallery

 Happy September! This Summer,  I saw a "call for artists" announcement on Instagram from the Stay Gallery, my local art gallery. I had never entered an application for consideration before and thought I would give it a try. A few days after I submitted my application, I got an email invitation to be a part of this group art exhibit! I was so surprised and overwhelmed with joy. 

Opening night is tomorrow Friday, September 10th and will run until Friday, October 15th. Isn't this so cool?  After weeks of preparing and waiting, the moment is finally here.



I submitted my art entitled "Field of Rest." Here is a video about this art. Video Link Here

Last Saturday, I took my art to the gallery for drop off day and boy was I excited. I got to meet the gallery's organizer and director as well as some of the other artists. This is a small city funded gallery but they host excellent exhibits and events.

I am so grateful I was selected to share my art story for over a month. This just warms my heart to know that lots of visitors will see my work and hopefully be inspired. 

This opportunity is a dream come true! In 2014, I attended one of their art shows. That night I recalled thinking, "I want to be a featured artist here one day." That day is here! Wow!  Stay Gallery Visit 2014 Blog Post

My husband and I are thrilled to attend the opening tomorrow night. I will do another post and YouTube video sharing all the joy soon. Stay tuned!

Relaunch of Our Business

Kelly & Ron Roberts Today, Ron and I are announcing the relaunch of our K. Simone Designs business. For those of you that are new to our work and site, click   ABOUT US   for more information.   In short, we started our business selling my handmade greeting cards in 2011. We sold and donated lots of cards and enjoyed bringing smiles to our customer's faces. In 2019, we took a long break. Since then, art has become my main interest and I have been drawing, painting and improving my skills. Art has been a wonderful outlet and joy for me and I have loved encouraging others with these creations.  So now K. Simone Designs will focus on our Inspired Art business. Our greeting cards are on hold for now but they are still apart of our brand. Also, I will continue to create YouTube papercrafting videos and add more resources to my arts and crafts directory. Our goal with all these creative products is to inspire others with love, hope, joy and peace. Here are so...

Our Romantic Anniversary Dinner

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great.  Today I wanted  to share some of our wedding anniversary pictures with you.  Last Sunday, my hubby arranged for us to have a romantic dinner at the very place where we had our wedding reception.  I was so excited when I found out that they set up a table for us to have the whole banquet room to ourselves.  How great was that??? The restaurant is right on the bay and has the most spectacular  views.  So when we arrived they had a table set up for us right by the windows so we could get an even better view.  They had the rest of the room set up for an event but I still could remember how it looked the night of our wedding with the lights and the dance floor.  Plus the left side of the room is nothing but windows so you can see more of this secluded bay. So as we dined we watched the sunset and it was so fabulous.  Even at night all the lights from the surroundin...

Happy Hearts

Today I will be sharing one a several painting I recently finished. This one is one of my favorites. I wanted to try two faces and just love how they turned out. It was fun going crazy with the multi-colored background. The hearts were made using my new favorite thing to make from toilet paper rolls- STAMPS.  I saw them on Julie Balzer's blog. Toilet Paper Tube Stamps  Then I used my fingers to paint the inside of the hearts. So neat! Take a look and I hope you feel the love and joy in this piece. Aren't the afro's fabulous!!! LOL! They were my first try and look pretty darn good. The little girls afro puff is so cute and reminds me of the ones I had as a child.   I love the hearts on their clothes. I used my stencil to make the design then painted around just to show the insides. Hope you enjoyed and come back this week to see some other paintings. Have a good one!
