i have been on an adventure.
where do i start? first, start with a
reunion of five art friends who met
together one afternoon on my deck for a magical
afternoon of art journaling and our sharing lives.
john from a seattle suburb, terry from minnesota,
brian from long beach and jacki from orange county.
we were quite happy to be together as you can see.
john, terry and brian team taught an art
journaling extravaganza.
with thirteen artists for three full days and even
some of us crazy enough to come back for more
after a group dinner out. there were many moments,
memories, spectacular sunrise and sunsets. the best
was the deepening of friendships old and new.
now back to paint paint paint. i have added a tab
at the top of my page which lists all of the paintings
to be shown at the third annual gallery in the garden
hosted by my friend, diane dunn. i hope you have time
for a virtual visit.
a journal spread. t's orange influenced by jacki long
a wonderful weekend to all!
it's friday and i am posting with paint party friday
Yea orange and Yea Irene!
