News: Shelburne Museum Packs An Emotional Punch

Here is blurb from the article in the Burlington Free Press.

• “Circus Day in America” — The museum’s Circus Building, known for its miniature circus and circus-parade collections, will augment those displays with posters, photographs and other artifacts culled from the golden age of circuses in America, from 1870 to 1950. The entrance to the building has been adorned with a 17-by-40-foot panel of 13 sideshow banners created by Burlington artist Toni-Lee Sangastiano.

Empty nest | Off to the museum…

My studio is now empty. We loaded all of the banners into the van and they are on their way to the museum. I cannot believe that I painted so much in so short of a time frame. Everything I have was poured into this project and I cannot wait to see them congregate in the intended formation. I do not think that I can even imagine the impact that will have on viewer, which includes me, when standing two by two in half dozen groupings. I am just going to sit and look at the empty walls for a short while before I start my next project. Today, I will celebrate my efforts with friends. I will post more info and images once I receive photos and opening details.

I LOVE this cow! It is so cute! Now, I must make lefty cow almost as cute so that it doesn’t get jealous

Even the goats are excited about “Circus Day In America!”

I’ll save the 2 large animals for tomorrow but I got a lot done today.

Sketchy

Whoops! I was so excited about this banner, I started painting instead of posting my transferred drawing. Let’s see how much of this I can fill in today
