All in a day's work

I filled in my calendar and now it is the next month already.  Shoot, I like other artists have a tough time of organizing my time.  I vow to get better.  New Year's resolution yeah right.  I do feel an urgency however to get more organized.
     Thank heaven, my dear friend Darla Zook, fellow artist reminded me of today's hanging in the Lenexa Kansas City Hall.  Talk about a curve ball, I thought I would spend the day working on my blog and starting a Cafe' genre painting, then teaching.  But no.  So off I go to my studio to put finishing touches on Music from the Vine then delivering the work....What a life!  I love it!!!

During the First Parkville in Art Paint Out, I painted this from Pancho's Mexican Restaurant. 

This Commissioned Graphite is actually 18 X 24.  

Here I am painting in Door County.  I very quickly found out that my umbrella shaded me beautifully, but not built to protect me from the rain.  This is a gallery that had sculptures around the gardens and quite unique. 

              

Gary in his studio.

Gary Staab is one of the Artists that I wrote about in North magazine.  Gary is a sculptor who has an interest in animals and insects.  Gary recreated Lucy.  The lifesize dinosaur.  Recently, my editor and friend, Kandie Erichson and I made the trip to Liberty to visit with Gary to deliver this framed work of the article I wrote about him.  He was in the middle of recreating a twenty foot Saw Fish.
