autumn

How fun are these gourds!? I just created them for my booth at Building Character in downtown Lancaster, PA. I absolutely loved creating them, and each one is a one-of-a-kind. A piece of art. I would actually love to keep them all for myself, but I can always make more! The best thing about creating art is that it's an ever evolving journey, never, ever boring.

I also created some new cards, too, for building character. You can follow our booth on Facebook at Eclectic Collective. And please follow my artwork on Facebook at Kim myers smith art! Thank you! Your support is so very appreciated!

lancaster blocks

Today I dropped off some of my new "Lancaster Blocks" at Building Character in downtown Lancaster at the Eclectic Collective Booth. I was inspired to create some small paintings of signs from around Lancaster, up close and personal. My first two were Stans Records and Here To Timbuktu. First I created the paintings and then created some fun wooden blocks (thanks for the wood blocks, Landon!), in the theme of children's blocks with letters that you could spell out words. Maybe HOME, LANCASTER, LOVE, the possibilities are endless. Go check them out at First Friday tomorrow night, if you get a chance. Let me know what you think!

building character

I have several of my paintings on display at Building Character in downtown Lancaster. It's an eclectic group of shops in cool old historic warehouses on the 300 Block of North Queen Street. I hope to make more fun things to sell there, maybe cards and magnets, and some prints of my artwork. If you live in Lancaster, stop by and let me know what you think.
