Lapse

In the time lapse between my January and March posts, I was very busy. I should say busier than normal. I enjoyed visits by family and friends, prepared for an exhibit at Marina Square Gallery in Morro Bay, was sick with a bug that made me cough for five or six weeks, enjoyd time with my gramdchildren, and kicked off the new year with the Art Center.

My sisters and South Carolina frineds were here to attend my opening at Marina Square. Great fun. And about that time I sold my self portrait, "FAB." The down side of that is that I didn't photograph FAB before I left for England, and Papa delivered it to SLOMA for me the day after I left. I remembered that little detail somewhere over Greenland. When will I learn.

Wax 'n Wood will be over soon, and now I am busy working on an Inyernational Encaustic Artist show, Consequentiql Fusion, that we will host at Art Center Morro Bay in July. And I am working on a promotional presentation about the art center as well as planning more image polishing for the center.

I am telling myself I will get it all done if I take one step at a time.

Meanwhie, my garden is a disaapointing, sad mess. On my January 8th birthday in 2010, I began harvesting lettuce every day and continued through June. My summer garden was sad, but I enthusuasticly planted greens in late November. Nothing. I tried again in January. Failure. What's up with that. Clearly I have much to learn about growing veggies here. My flowers are wonderful and seem to be enjoying our monsoon season.

AND, Papa and I just marked 37 years! Impressive.

Wax 'n Wood exhibit at Art Center Morro Bay

This is why I haven't been posting lately. Show is up and open. The reception is Sunday.

Encaustic Show is up at Art Center Morro Bay

Well......

It has been a while. Let's just say I was overbooked. You don't need a laundry list. Nor do I need to revisit my overwhelmed feeling.

But the weeks have not been all bad. I have had nice visits from family and friends.

And I have painted and painted. I am one of three featured artists at Art Center Morro Bay. Our show opened today and will hang through April 10. Reception on Sunday, m

Included in the show are another encaustic artist and a wood sculptor.

I am relieved to have finished painting and hanging. I am proud of some of it.
