Finale

Tonight I logged in to this old email address from the days when I had my store to find that it had been hacked. Yikes.

Having this happen now is fortunate, as I have been pondering for a bit the fact that "Breton Bleu Studio" doesn't really mean anything to a lot of people who are unaware that I had a fantastic little shop nearly ten years ago which closed in July of 2005.

I'll be redoing a blog under a name to be determined, so if you'd like to know the latest from my studio, please Google me to find out.

Thanks!
Kim

Ah, Paris

EF - Live The Language - Paris from Albin Holmqvist on Vimeo.

This little movie captured a wonderful bit of Paris for me this morning.

I wanted to share it on my blog.

Interestingly, I found this from a link on Twitter from Katy Elliot. Have you seen her blog? It's a fun one!

Follow me!

While time is scarce lately, I have been able to update my Facebook page a bit more frequently than this poor blog.

If you're on Facebook, feel free to follow Kim Morin Weineck's art. I'd be delighted to have you along!


And, on a lark, I joined Twitter, too. If you're on Twitter (a very new and confusing thing for me), feel free to follow @kimweineck!

Take care!!

Women in the Arts!

Recently I received an invitation to participate in a show at a local gallery in my hometown, The Preservation Framer. Supporting independent business is important to me, having owned a small business myself for four great years, so I was especially excited to be a part of this show.

This show will feature artwork by 15 local women artists. I was delighted to receive the invitation including me in this talented group and am busy working on my contribution.

The gallery owners have invited all participating artists to speak during the opening reception on March 5th from 7-10pm. As of yet, I'm not sure what I'll be saying, but it's something I'm keeping in the back of my mind while I am painting.

The show will hang for the month of March - coincidentally, March is my birthday month and, more importantly, Women's History Month! It'll be a great show, I'm sure.

Here's a paragraph about the shop from their website:

The Preservation Framer is both a Custom Picture Framing Store and a Gallery Space. We are very pleased to have showcased some exceptional talent since our opening in November of 2008. These openings have created such a buzz that people are now coming from much further afield, and in growing numbers, to partake in evenings of live music, great food and wine, and of course, magnificent original art!

More information will follow about this here on my blog, but if you'd like, you can click here and sign up for their e-mailing list directly.

Thanks for reading!

Pastel Society of America

Today in the mail came news that I've been juried into the Pastel Society of America! This has been a goal of mine and it feel great to start 2011 with a big check off that to-do list!!

When I was a student at Massachusetts College of Art and Design I remember getting assignments and thinking defeatist things like: I can't begin to accomplish this assignment. But then my brain would logically move to thinking like this: Well, they let me in to this school and they seem to think I can, so let's see. Amazingly, things would happen because I was pushed.

I would bet this new membership will do the same thing for me. Why not try that extra-large sized piece? Why not venture to a new subject? We'll see where this little boost of confidence will bring me!

Happy New Year!

I know it's been forever since I posted. The holidays were ridiculously fun and busy and I painted and painted until I was painted out!

Friday I completed three 4x4" pastels and I'm pretty happy with them. Funny thing is that I'm antsy to get going in some oils again.

More to follow. Stick with me. I'll get on an updating spell again soon enough!
