Reminder! Mother Daughter Show Opening is Tonight!

Well, Mom's paintings are up on the wall, and mine will go up this morning. Putting together a show like this is a lot of work for everyone involved, but for me it is a labor of love. To have this show with my Mother, is a dream come true. To stand back and see her paintings on those walls makes me feel so happy and proud. And to have our paintings hang on walls my own daughter has worked so hard for, well....i cannot tell you how proud i am and the gratitude i feel. So, i will bring my camera with me this morning when we hang the rest of the show, and will have it with me tonight for the opening, and will be sure to share some photos with you! Wish us luck !

Mother/Daughter Art Show at The Paper Sparrow, Troy, NY

My Mother and i are the featured artists at The Paper Sparrow for the month of February! The opening for our show will be during Troy Night Out, Friday, January 30th, 2009 from 5:00-9:00pm. Mom and i will be displaying our paintings in the gallery! We'd love to have you stop by and say hi, look at our work (It will be all dressed up with mats and frames) and see all of the wonderful things available at The Paper Sparrow. I am so thrilled and honored to share this gallery space with my Mother (Helen "Honey" Stopera) She is by far my most favorite artist of all! Here are a few of the paintings that may be displayed and available at the show..."Little Sparrow" by me

All of Mom's paintings are done in watercolor, and mine are mixed, mostly watercolor, pen, pencil, acrylic. I even throw in some salt, straw-blown paint, you name it! This is our second show, but our first just the two of us together. We have been busy making decisions as to what paintings will go up, and then there is the matting and framing! It's a lot of work! I'll take pictures once the show is up on the gallery walls! If you are in the neighborhood, come on by!

Thank you Kate, for inviting us to show our work. It means so much to us...
