It’s difficult to think “Fall” when we are baking in the middle of July but with workshops and shows coming up that’s what I’m doing. The Art Place Gallery in Denison, Texas has invited 5 watercolorists to exhibit during September and October. The theme is Color Trends. I am so thrilled to be one of the exhibitors! This is actually my first “special” show since coming back to painting a few years ago. The Color Trends theme opens doors to lots of interpretation. My mind is full of ideas! Hope you can make the show. To access the Art Place website just go to www.artplacegallery.com  and have a look around or check the gallery out on Main street of Denison.

Do you procrastinate? I’m afraid I still do that even at my “mature” age. This blog is one of those times! My studio calls … I am presenting a watercolor workshop this Saturday and need to finish my notes and prepare my demos but somehow I keep finding other things that need to be done. Like adding another entry to this blog. Know what I mean?

Anyway, hope your summer is a relaxing one for you and you are taking time to enjoy the earth and all it’s abundance. I entered the NRCS (National Resources & Conservation Services) American Indian Poster contest this year. The theme was Conservation – Our Passion --- Our Heritage. While during research for that piece one overriding theme was evident. The “Great Spirit” created the earth and man. The earth was created for man. Man is to care for the earth in return. If the earth dies then man dies. Something to think about.

Until next time …keep talking about watercolor, painting, and life.
