Where is everybody...?

Guess most people are still going to the malls.  However a select group of friends and supporters scooped up the best of the handmade gift items and some unique art pieces (along with cookies & beverages) and it was nice to have time to chat with those who stopped by.

Jane and Judy getting things ready.

Thanks to all of you who stopped in.

A NEW STUDIO

I have rented a new studio space right in the Point, half a block from my house. It's also right next to the Refined by Fire Gallery at 103 W. Richmond Ave. Every 3rd Thursday of the month Point Richmond has an Art Walk. All the Galleries and some of the business and restaurants are open and it's a lot of fun. I took part this month and below are some shots of the gallery section of my studio. The best part is that there's an equally large work space behind the curtain.

My Good Mornings with Thekla

My camera was on my bedside table and I just couldn't resist taking this photo of Thekla this morning.  What a cute face to wake up to.  Think I should have named her Tudie though, as in attitude.  She definitely has one of her own.  She's been with me a year and as you can see from our profile photo she has grown into her ears.  

Today's Painting

I'm in Santa Fe this week visiting my painter friend Ann but promised to have this painting done for a friend in time for her son's birthday.  Carson was Jimmy's beloved dog and my Border Collie Dooley's nemesis.  Unfortunately both are no longer on this earth but they will always be with us.
