industry
I can't believe how fast time has been flying....i have been busy with a big solo show on Industry which was a success...I sold 7 paintings. Then I had the out door fair which was ok, but definitely not the right weekend for an art fair. It was in the 90's on Saturday, in the evening there were big winds, and on Sunday big rains came. The area I was set up in flooded and I thought I would not find my husband in the water. lol. I did get the paintings to the car in a nick of time. I was just drenched, The new tent survived. Rain is not good for watercolors.. It was the 45th show and I was in all of the 45 shows. May have to rethink next year.
I did win second in 2-D art so that always is nice.
So I am behind on posting my paintings .. I will catch up...(Ketchup :)

Been teaching a new class..
A journal class. Something new to me. It was a lot of fun showing different techniques and ideas for a journal. The gals that took the 4 week class enjoyed themselves and they plan to continue working this summer on their journals and then when they come back in the fall they want to continue working on them in class. My book is almost completed. Will have to start another one.
That is my new Italian fountain pen that I purchased in Chicago.

still life
In memory of one of my favorite antique shops that recently closed. It needed a lot of renovation to get it back to code. Hopefully when they are done working on the building they will reopen as an antique shop. It was 3 floors filled with antique finds. Great STUFF for still lifes.. It would be nice if they add an elevator to this store/building. They just better not tare it down and put up a parking lot....

I have been really busy planting my gardens for this summer. Lots of hard work and the older I get it does get harder and takes longer...so maybe I will enjoy them more.
I still have more to plant....then comes taking care of them.
Also...then comes painting them. I can't wait. Watch for them.

It's been crazy here. I had the virus that most people in my area also had. It was 5 weeks. Then at the same time I was getting ready for my new Industrial Exhibit. That is all hung, we had the opening and it will be up till July 11. The show is at the Pine's Village Gallery in Valparaiso, Indiana.
At the opening I gave a watercolor demo of some tulips. One lucky person won the demonstration painting. We had bad weather scheduled for the day, but there was a good number in attendance with only 4 seats open.
Taught a workshop tonight of pansies in watercolor on watercolor canvas. Good students, working hard.
