First Art Lesson: Success!

My friend Tracy came over for an art lesson. It was her first time to paint, and my first lesson! She decided to paint her sweet dog Darcy. I think it came out rather fantastic! Hooray Tracy!Here is Tracy's account of her first lesson- so sweet!

Private Art Lessons

Since I have now officially quit my day job, I am going to start teaching some private art lessons! I am aiming for serious students only who show a true interest in art. Ages 9 and up- but negotiable!

Email me at jennifermoreman@gmail.com if you are interested.

Lessons are 1 hour and cost $60 for private and $35 each student for group (you make your own group.) Some supplies will be required.

Portraits

This past weekend, I finished Larry Goddard's portrait. Larry and I were in Leadership Tyler together when I first moved to Tyler, and he has been a great friend ever since! He celebrates each decade with a portrait, and I am excited to be year 50!!! He wanted something fun and crazy, so I gave him fun and crazy! The size is 18x24 and cost (for this size) is $450.00. Email me if you are interested.

Hotel Nylo Las Colinas Artist Awards Luncheon

Last Tuesday Hotel NYLO hosted a luncheon for the artists and the hotel designers. I delivered "Longhorn Love" and it was neat to meet the other contributors and see their work. Hotel NYLO did a great job! I am excited for the hotel to open in July! Here are some photos...

Here is the article that ran with the luncheon...

Art for a Cause

These are some of the paintings I have recently donated to silent auctions for local nonprofit organizations to help benefit their cause. I think it is a great way for artists to give back to their community and get a little bit of publicity in return.Game, Set, Match: Hope Open Tennis Tournament benefiting Living Alternatives in Tyler, Texas

Nice Bass: Bass Fishing Tournament benefiting Genesis Hospice Care in Athens, Texas

For the Love: Art Silent Auction benefiting Tyler Aids Services in Tyler, Texas

Exciting News!

Last fall I entered an art competition for Hotel Nylo. Their new hotel is going to be in Las Colinas, Texas. I just heard last night that I won first place! I am so excited! My painting will either hang in the lobby as an original, or they might make glycie prints of my painting for the guest rooms. Either way I am super excited! I get a fancy grand prize, lots of publicity through their PR dept, and there is supposed to be a luncheon in July to meet the designers. I am so excited!
