Is it spring?

Can't believe the 75 degree temperature today.I should have been working out in the garden but after a workout at the "Y" I was in sorting art supplies. A patron visited yesterday and selected two watercolors. Both having lots of flowers in the composition. "A Beaufort Porch" and "Chinque-penn Greenhouse," depict two different corners of our North Carolina state.

Charleston in the New Year

Have been enjoying wonderful mild temperatures in North Carolina. Even took a three day get-away to Charleston South Carolina. Found the lovely 1838 B&B to stay. The location right off the middle of town and the College of Charleston couldn't have been better..
My new watercolor classes have started up. I am teaching an in depth study of figures in watercolors. This is a fun experience for me since I have been painting the human form since I was 16. Then my first life model class was at the Brooklyn Museum given by my high school which was a short walk away.

Fun Times

It has been a while since we have taken a family picture. Here we are December 25th, 2011. Some Italian specialties for dinner and wonderful desserts. Fun times for all.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

It was a busy week. Three days of celebrating my birthday, one with friend Larry Vellani. Went to the "Rembrandt" exhibit at the NC Museum of art, on my birthday. Finishing up the week with our friends' Barbara and Tony's husband and wife birthday party. Along with a case of poison ivy I also did manage to bring my art to the Alamance Co Arts Council for their Christmas Holiday Show.

On Sunday took some fabric designed by daughter Margaret, organized, and sewed a quilt with daughter Liz , and Pedro. Quite a family affair. Hope to take it to one of the local Christmas Bazaars.
