Creative Fire

Too many ideas, visions of what must be designed, painted, created...my hours pass too swiftly. I ache to wield the brush....ok  ok  the migraine sitting on my head like a smothering elephant isn't helping me accomplish anything.

Glen Helen Show, etc

Please come visit me at the Glen Helen Nature Arts and Craft show, Nov. 20 and 21.  I'll be sharing a space with Theresa Mayer and her lovely beads.  I'll have wee birdies and purses crafted out of my treasure trove of fabrics as well as watercolor paintings and prints. 
  I won 'Best in Show' at the Dare 2B Square show here in Y.S. and will bring the painting to display at the Glen.  I've got some shows I'm helping put together coming up too - and I'm going to be illustrating another book - life is good.

Dare 2 B Square Show

I've got a couple square paintings in a show at the Village Artisans here in Y.S.  Stop by for the Opening on Friday, October 15, 6-9 pm.   I can't be there unfortunately but my artwork is up so...a piece of me is there.  This photo's a bit fuzzy but here is 'Thistle Patch'

more sunflowers!

I'm going to go carpe diem and paint the sunflowers again - they are so beautiful.  Here is our border collie, Spark on a recent visit.

Sunflowers to paint!

Sat with friends Mary, Marion and Ruth to paint the sunflowers on the Tecumseh Land Trust/Whitehall Farm property - directly across from Peifers Orchard on Rt 68 - What Fun!!!  It feel like we are Renoir or Monet, painting the lovely fields of France - right here in Ohio.  I'll be there again - plein aire - on friday morning with a Springfield group to paint.  My daughter Melanie complains that I only go when she's in school so you may find me there again this w.e.   All the local galleries will be filled with sunflowers!
