Another Show
Lotus, my most complex, to date
November Show
For those local to me, please come and see the new pieces. For those who are distant, might I suggest a visit?
The Hub
I have been given a lovely and interesting opportunity. I now have a gallery at THE HUB in Temple Texas through Back2Basics. They will all be sold at special prices. It is a recent opportunity and I have a LOT of work to do, picking and hanging the art and (obviously) …
Struggles
Things have been difficult recently. There are two projects for which I have designs, but I have not been able to move forward. The images I have in my head are very clear to me. Painted wood is not an acceptable base, so I am choosing black plastic. Unfortunately the …
A Hectic Morning
A Very Late Breakfast
I had stayed up late and the night before and had slept late. I had just finished my first meal of the day and was checking messages. I was feeling a bit down because I had submitted some pieces to one of my favorite organizations and had not gotten into their show.

OB&E
The 2017 Show at the Old Bakery and Emporium is about to close. I pick up what has not been sold on Thursday. It was a good show, well hung. The people are very good there, particularly Kay Hughes who was a consistent help throughout. I include just some of the …
New Pieces and Another Show
I will be working hard for the next couple on months. I have been invited to do a large show at the Old Bakery and Emporium and need to do a fair bit of WORK! I have 4 more projects I want to include, one, a very deep one (3 inches), …
