A few Gnu things.
Well, I am back! I have been working 24/7 on KNS' website, because our server died and I had to move it. It is now at Godaddy and hopefully they keep their servers up and running well. I'm not going to sweat it, though. At least computer hardware is not my concern any more! That is - other than this thing sitting on my lap right now.
I have also been updating my gallery site: www.sunnypea.com. I have more to add on it, but its looking more like I want it to look now so I can start promoting it. Check it out!
Big news! I am finally going to get to starting painting my GNU! After several months of waiting, the gnus for the town of Gnu (New) London are finished and are to be delivered tomorrow, Feb 3. I can hardly wait to see them drive that fiberglass cow up our luge of a driveway (yes, we have had tons of snow again this year!!) and deposit it in my front entryway. These were to be delivered last fall, and I had looked forward to working on it over the winter, but now will have to do a quick job of it to be done before May. I will also have to paint it in my front entry, hopefully it fits through the front door! It will be interesting if we put our house on the market in March/ April... a cow in the front entry should go over well.... :-D
Below are a couple pictures of the design I am doing. It is called "Alphonse Moooocha", the design in the style of Alphonse Mucha the Art Nouveau artist of the early 1900s. He is one of my daughter's favorite artists and I thought his style would work well for decorating the wildebeest. Yes, I had thought of "Art Gnuveau" as my gnu's name, but someone else beat me to the punch and there was already a design with that name ...
Late this afternoon is an artist's/ sponsors get-together. I will get to meet the representative from Sugar River Savings Bank, who is my sponsor (**correction The New London Inn was my sponsor **). Their location is on a very main drag, right at a "round-about" in New London so many people will see my work. I hope it turns out well! This is my first time doing something like this. These gnus will be scattered all over New London, the next town over from Sunapee, for the summer of 2009. Here is a website about it: gnusofgnulondon.org. It is to raise funds for a new community center. It will be fun to see everyone's work.
Just a thought - wonder if they have ever heard of "cow tipping" in this part of the country?
