Summer's over and the fun begins . . .

The Tuesday after Labor Day, everyone is back to school and work, and I'm back to the business of being an artist.  With a vengeance.  So what's new since the last post?  Lots!
Pat McGraw has suggested "Florabundance" as the name for our shared exhibit at the Birmingham Unitarian Church in October, and I think it's great, so there.   We could belabor the point and try for a better one, but I think that's creative energy wasted, so, Florabundance it is!

Note that the date for the closing reception of that event has been confirmed for Friday, October 28th, from 6 - 8 pm.  Hope to see you!

You should know that the work that Pat is going to be framing for this upcoming show is breathtaking - I got to see maybe a dozen or so paintings today, in a stack just waiting to be called "done", then photographed and framed. So, no matter what I come up with, this show is going to be worth your time and energy to come see it!

Not through with the updates, yet.  Today I learned that both the (new) paintings that I submitted to the annual exhibit of the Birmingham Society of Women Painters were accepted into that show!  I consider this a great honor, as the membersip of the group is already juried, so everything that's submitted to the juror is of top quality.  

Continuing:  also at Birmingham Unitarian, and, also, happily for Pat and me, in October,
