I had a break from any blog-type recreation preceding my big art show (at Magic City Art Connection). The show was a success, and I have still been getting a number of calls and emails for work. Yay! I sold a lot of pieces that were barely recorded – a fleeting existence in my life. But I’m very proud that they have grown up so fast and moved into their adult art lives.

Once I recovered form the 3 day weekend of art selling, I started volunteering at a local art studio for special children and adults. I have been there twice, and it is very fun. I also started rescuing dogs from the street- well, only one was willing to be rescued so far, and he was returned home safe and sound.

The big project that I had to put on hold and have just been back at is my veggie garden. We doubled the size of it from about 10x 15 to about 10X 30 or 40 feet. I am not sure of the dimensions, but it’s huge and curvy. It’s already got lots of salad items, onions, garlic, volunteer tomatoes, and flowers; next will be the addition of tomatoes and peppers and herbs I have been growing from seed. I planted variety of interesting sunflowers earlier this week- I hope they sprout soon!

So, I’d better get to my studio. Paints are calling me! And I hope we have time to brew up our Anchor Steam beer soon…
