Excitement builds for our art club’s spring exhibition – now just two days away. This past week has also been a busy one with a birthday celebration, out-of-town guests, tonight a concert, and tomorrow lunch out!

As of this date, I no longer have access to their painting video riches in the Journey, the Library, the Archives etc. It is with sadness that I say farewell to this chapter of my art journey (though I still have access to the… Continue reading On my own

It included an art exhibition for which I had the responsibility. A little networking and word of mouth resulted in lining up a… Continue reading Catching up to June
