festival and event schedule

I did a bit of facepainting and some facial henna at the Belmont Arts Bizzare. The weather was cool and a bit windy and the crowd turnout was sparse. I had fun though and got to meet my online friend Heather in person at last. I also got to see some other friends as well and listen to some of the fantastic local musical talent here in Pensacola. Thank you Heather for the awesome photos.

 

 

 I don't really get to do as much facepainting as I would like to. Out of the types of body art that I do I have the least amount of experience in facepainting. It's always fun to do some painting for fun and make you push your boundries a bit as an artist. Painting small children is such a challenge when doing detailed work. They have so much energy and enthusiasm it's hard to keep them still long enough to work on them. Here is some work I did for a friends daughtrs birthday party. It was so much fun. I really love facepainting.

 

 

 I was honored and humbled to have Ms Sandra Sanford  Owner/ Director of Breathe Yoga Studio ask me to participate in the 2nd anniversay of the opening of her studio. It also hapened to be the last gallery night of the season for Pensacola.  The energy in the studio was palpable with all of the wonderful massage therapy, Thai yoga massage, live music, Chai tea and appetizers, and oh yeah! me doing henna! The weather was bone chilling cold and not conducive to henna body art,  but there were a few brave souls who despite the cold bared some skin for me to adorn.My Thanks to Gary McCracken from the Pensacola News Journal for the photographs of me at work.  Gallery night 1  Gallery night 2
