I wake up thinking about art. My passions are light, sunshine, colors. Now that I am retired and no longer spend my daylight hours in the library - I play in my garden and make art in my studio.
My grown family is happy that I am so absorbed and find my retired life so rich and full.
Family, friends, pets, art, plants, music, healthy eating and fresh air. Those are the key ingredients to make my life so satisfying. I use this as a personal journal, so blog is a mixed bag. To see images of my other mixed media works go to http://www.picturetrail.com/artsngardens
My computer came down with a virus over a week ago and so I stopped posting or emailing from it. I went and hid in the country, tired of fighting a losing battle trying to get it cleared up. Weather was perfect. Here are a few pics.
The pic I posted in the last post turned out to win first place in the 3 dimensional division at the art show in Lodi. A blue ribbon and some cash too. The show is up until Aug 1st so if you are in Lodi and want to see it - that's where it is. I ended up having Tap plastic construct a sort of cover for it so little hands won't be messing with the innards. And since Alice came from a book, it now looks like a 3 dimensional book.
