Music and more....

The Continental Club

9 x 12 oil on museum board

Enjoyed some music recently with friends at the

Continental Club in downtown Austin

where we got to hear Redd Volkaert.

Redd used to play with Merle Haggart back in the day.

FINALLY!

I've got your chair waiting for you so we can relax

and catch up again:) 

Yes, it's been more work than expected, yes we made a huge mess,

and yes I am happy that the make over is finally over.

We went from this to this to this in what seemed like forever but

actually wasn't.

 Big, Big sigh of relief:)))))

We'll be able to see more of each other again!

Thanks for viewing my paintings and following along:)

AIS Show

AIS Show

  Thank you to AIS Pres- Debra Joy Groesser,

the AIS V.P.- Cheryl St. John.

and especially the show chair  Becky Joy

for hosting a fantastic show.

They had arranged a demo by Clayton Beck,

workshops, paint outs, museum tours, 

presentations on materials and marketing

and a great opening.

There were so many wonderful paintings there

that I couldn't even pick a favorite to vote for in the

peoples choice award.

 I met so many

artists and hopefully made some new friends along the way.

My experience couldn't have been any better.

Plus red dots are always exciting!

Old Friends

Old Friends  6x6 oil on museum board

click here to see auction

I just loved the gesture of this old woman walking and 

her dedication to come and feed the birds

everyday.

They seemed like old friends and

really kept each other going.

That's what friends do:)

I do love the juicy paint in this one and would like

to try it larger and see if I can keep

the same paint quality.

I'll keep you posted.

Thanks so much for following along and 

letting me share my art/life with you.
