yet another overdue entry

Once again, it's been too long since my last post...so here's a brief update!

First Friday Art Walk this month was so much fun! Friends and family stopped by and a lot of laughing took place. The biggest laugh of the night may have been when I laughed right in the face of the stranger who told me that I "obviously peaked in 1997". Yes, you read that correctly. Well, you know what they say about opinions...At any rate, it was a great night, and I'm thankful for everyone who popped in to say hello, hang out, and check out my work. See you next month!

The Cyon Solutions event at Pineland Farms (scheduled for Saturday, June 2nd) was cancelled/changed, so for those of you who might have been wondering how it went, there's nothing to report yet. I was excited about the idea of a big outdoor bash in a beautiful setting, but it's okay...it was pouring rain on June 2nd anyway, so that wouldn't have worked out, and now the single event has morphed into two different events instead! The art show will now take place at Cyon Solutions' Annual Golf Tournament fundraising event at the Brunswick Golf Club on July 16th, as well as at their Annual Home Picnic on August 4th. The winners of the two $500 commissions will be announced at the August 4th event. I'm excited about the idea of having my work at two different events with two different crowds. I'll just need a different excuse to get over to Pineland Farms, that's all!

This afternoon, I dropped off two paintings for the "Summertime Whimsy" group show at the Chocolate Church Art Gallery in Bath. The opening reception is Friday, June 15th, from 5 pm to 7 pm, and the show runs through Saturday, August 4th. Here is a link to the Chocolate Church's blog: http://www.chocolatechurchgallery.blogspot.com/.

On a completely unrelated note, my husband Terry and I went to see Phish in Worcester, MA last week. The shows were fantastic (as usual) and we had a blast. The band sounded great, and their lighting designer, Chris Kuroda, seems to get better all the time. I love his use of color. He really is an artist.

Okay, that's it for now...hopefully I'll be posting again soon!
