not your typical Saturday night

What a fun evening mingling with animal lovers!

The show is up through mid-July if you just happen to visit

Issaquah, Washington.

You will be glad you did!

Creature Comforts

Check out this really cool flyer

for the upcoming show at UP Front Art Gallery.

If you live nearby Issaquah,

please join me for the opening this Saturday evening.

I would love to mingle with you...

If you look closely above,

you will see my girl with crow.

I also have another piece in the show too.

Yippee - what a fun show!

let's fly

I just may be flying someplace really special

right now

and you will find out where it is

when I return...

tea time

time to make some tea cups...

they had fun,

and even the boys were good sports.

they got a little kooky,

but such is art!

happy mother's day!

hope your brood treats you to a wonderful day of surprises

and some rousing games of 'hide 'n seek'.

150 feet of art

and 1 foot is mine...

artEast is having their annual fundraiser.  
You can view the pieces here.

There are some beauties that would love to come live with you.

The final bidding frenzy takes place this Saturday evening.
Yesterday I went to check on mine 
to see if anyone had bid on it yet,
and lo and behold,
mine has already sold.
Oh me of little faith again.
I am doing the happy dance,
yes I am...

are you my mother #2

I just can't help myself...

the iPad sits there and calls me,

and then I get goofy.  

I think I am getting better at the skin tones.

Having fun not 'over thinking'

and just playing.

Shouldn't we all do that?

I am winding down the school year

and hope to paint tons this summer 

as I am entering a juried show in October

and hope to have my own booth.

Yikes more on that later.

So for now you just have to settle for my doodling.

a Sunday blessing : the bluebird of happiness

let the fields be jubilant

and eveything in them.

Then all the trees of the forest 

will sing for joy...

Psalm 96:12

Have a wonderful joy-filled week!

boo

you were expecting a nice May Day post maybe?

nah...
stealth cat says 'hi'.
