Paintings along the desert trail, Toscana Gallery Reception
The Rogue Speaks:
Well, the show was FABULOUS! We had a huge crowd, and the tables in the studio were laden with food. The wine was seriously flowing! The desert trail was alive with lights and art, and the gallery simply glowed with beautiful paintings! The breast castings are below:
I was seriously humbled at having received a ribbon for one of my paintings. It really blew me away, because there were such beautiful works of art to choose from. Here are a few photos of some of the entries:
The breast castings will be put on-line, and may be bid on until November 29. Once they are on-line, I will give you all a heads-up so you will have a chance to bid for this most important cause. All proceeds will go directly to breast cancer research, so please consider making a bid.
We had a harpist for our entertainment, and she also had a beautiful singing voice. We were all enthralled!
The bartender was kept pretty busy!
Our next show at Toscana will be in the spring. I hope it is as successful as this one!

First of all the Venue is breathtaking..what a way to display beautiful works of art...against a desert backdrop. The essense of Nature surrounding this stunning wotk would have been an amazing Frame for each piece of art.
I loved your painting...a well deserved ribbon...the curves and movement in the piece resemble the curves and movement in the female body..Loved it.
That my dear would be a keeper in your memory books....you are doing an amazing job of helping to promote Breast Cancer Awareness...thank you Judie...Always...
Congratulations on the ribbon it is well deserved! All of your art is beautiful! I love your breast casting and it would be stunning in my living room. Where will the bidding start? I'm going to put a link to this post in one of my FB groups. The women in the group have been doing a lot of writing on breast cancer awareness and I did a photo post on a horse show given to raise money. Hopefully the link to your post will help. Both RavenMyth and I added links to:

The combination of paintings and desert is stunning, and your ribbon is much deserved. You have such a wonderful wealth of creativity that it is fun to see what you will do next. I was blown away by the breast castings--I had seen bras for the cause before but not the castings. Sounds like an evening to treasure!
WoW ! Enjoyed your taking everyone on the tour of a wonderful event.
Also, love the painting you got...gorgeous.
A wonderful cause, stunning creativity. Enjoyed every moment going thru everything you posted and detailed with text.

Judie, what a beautiful and extraordinary setting. I'm so happy for you for winning the ribbon. Well deserved! Did you also paint the violin? I love that one! What a unique idea.Please let me know about the spring event a couple of months ahead of time. I would LOVE to attend. Maybe I'll come into some money by then...The Lottery, maybe? HA!
I forgot to mention I'll check back, too,when the bidding begins on the breast castings.
The cello is painted in encaustic (hot wax) and was done by Joe Bourne. You can see more of his paintings on my right side-bar. He is also a world-renowned vocalist.
As soon as the photos of the castings are posted, I will let everyone know, and the bidding can begin!!!!
Oh my gosh, Judie, Congratulations on your ribbon!!! This is soooo exciting!! And I also love your Bad Moon Rising painting--you are amazing.
