Happy Spring! Today, Saturday, March 27th is the Spring Reopening of Dolci Gelati in Takoma Park!

I’m happy to announce that as of today, you can once again find Michelle Bailey Art and Gifts for sale in both the Roscoe’s main room and the adjoining Dolci Gelati Cafe on weekends.

On the Dolci Gelati cafe side through to the back hall I have a wall exhibit of original paintings, including NW Branch Trail, and framed prints. In Roscoe’s main room near the front door you will find my T-shirts (Channeling Motor Cat and Take a Hike NW Branch Trail) on display and for sale—adult and youth sizes. There is a bin of about 25 different matted prints in various sizes—signed and packaged in a cello bag ready for gift giving.

So, when you stop by Roscoe’s or the Gelateria for delicious food or desert treats, please check out my art & gifts.

I will be regularly replenishing the stock of prints, T-shirts and mugs, so please check back often. You are always welcome to contact me if there is a specific item that you have a question about or wish to order directly. I can deliver it to Roscoe’s for you to pick up.

New Painting of Dusty Springfield

I just completed an acrylic paint/ballpoint ink portrait of the famous London music icon Dusty Springfield. This is painted on a cradled wood panel. The acrylic paint has been sanded down to reveal textured layers in her famous beehive and I used a blue ballpoint pen for the outlines. I think this fun portrait really captures Dusty, one of my favorite singers of all time. I did some research to try to find the actual color of her eyes before I started the painting. There are many color photos of Dusty but her eye color ranges from green to blue to brown. It’s hard to know for sure so I took creative liberty and decided on green with a hint of blue — maybe a subconscious nod to the “blue-eyed soul” genre to which she belonged.

Prints and note cards are available from my Etsy shop.
