Nesting and Reflecting

    I realize it has been a while since I have posted anything new. I have been nesting here at home. Taking time to reflect, design items for my JM Couture line, organize my working areas, and other misc. actions. Reflecting has been uppermost in my days. Receiving word of the sudden death of my friend Heidy's husband, who was only slightly older than my husband, really has made me more conscious of my actions in the passing days. All of my current art is a reflection of "life" in its exuberant fullness. Knowing death is a very real part of the life we all face I think will be expressed in a few works to come. Not in a morbid way, but in fallen leaves and logs, leafless trees, etc. But for now, my prayers are for Heidy, and I must complete the commisions on my table.
  My hope is that we all appreciate every day we are given. That we love and honor all we come in contact with.

Local Art Shows

   Sapulpa, Ok's. annual Route 66 Blowout Art Show was held this past weekend. It was so inspiring to see the many local artists and their varied styles all in one place. The youngest 6-10 age group exhibited fantastic and creative pieces along with the older groups. As a committee member I enjoyed accepting the work and getting to to talk to each artist. I heard the judges had quite a time of it judging all of the wonderful pieces. It really got me fired up to get back to my easel and create!
   This coming Saturday, June 11th, will find me in Drumright,Ok. at the Tidal School Winery from 2-5pm for my Meet the Artist time. I have an exhibit this month of my colorful acrylic paintings. June 25th will find me there once again. There is always wonderful live music and wine tasting too.  I hope to see all of you local okies there for a fun time!
