What a week! A few days of recovering from the Open Studio Tour then a full day of demonstrating my pastels at the Puyallup Fair yesterday. Boy, am I pooped! I did 5 demos at the Fair and by far the most popular one was this one called “Jersey Girl”. Must be something about the eyes. I hope you like it! I had a great but exhausting time and talked to lots of people who love art. I’m all talked out!

Well, I have to say that the Open Studio Tour was successful in that quite a number of people came to see my artwork! Thank you to one and all!! It was a lot of work but very much worth it to meet so many wonderful people. After it was over, my family (9 of us) went out to dinner where I had a much needed marguerita! Yumm!

Next on the agenda: I will be at the Puyallup Fair this Thursday September 23rd demonstrating at the Art Show in the Pavilion. Hope to see you there!

Gig Harbor Open Studio Tour is tomorrow and Sunday!! I won't subject anyone to my laundry room in order to get up to my studio so I've turned my living room and dining room into a high end gallery! Come see what I have and learn all about pastels. Lots of art to choose from and a chance to see me at work. Plus free u-pick raspberries for anyone willing to brave the vines!
