Busy Times

Colorful You (Ewe) 8 x 8  acrylic on gallery canvas  $75.00

Whew, what busy times lately!  Lake Chelan was a fabulous show for me.  Beautiful setting, great sales, plus a camping site almost to ourselves at the Lake Chelan Rustlers Saddle Club...just us and the horses. 

Then my daughters threw me a 62 1/2 birthday party.  SO FUN!  They did a great job.  Lots of good friends, great food, fun times.  They were planning a 60th, but it was cancelled when granddaughter Madelyn was diagnosed with leukemia.  But now that she's healthy again, they decided not to wait until I'm 65.  I'm glad they didn't!

I've been painting like crazy.  I still have several shows and events coming up, plus Ann Hardee Gallery in LaConner asked for more paintings.  Getting ready for the last outdoor festival, Mulkilteo Arts Festival, Sept. 6,7,8.  Then the Small Works show at River Gallery.  October brings a month-long show at the Apothecary Spa in the Majestic Hotel in Anacortes and at the hospital in Sedro Woolley.  November will bring Arts Alive! to LaConner.  I will have work at the LaConner Retirement and Assisted Living with Art League North, and at the Garden Club with Skagit Artists Together.  Oh, and I hope to be at the Anacortes Farmers Market September 14.

Gotta go.  Gotta paint!

Lake Chelan

Coupeville Art Festival was last weekend.  It threatened rain, but turned out beautiful.  Good crowds and we had fun camping and meeting new vendors.  Now we are packing for Lake Chelan.  This will be a combination of a little fun, a little work.  The Lake Chelan Fine Arts Festival is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday - August 16, 17 & 18.  I've never done this one before, but we love Lake Chelan and are looking forward to a fun time, sunshine, warm weather and good sales.  If you're in the neighborhood, stop by.
