hello and thank you for visiting.

today i am featuring a few highlights 

of the last two weeks ...  in no particular order

a few sketchy teabags

three of us rented a house in 

newport beach a block from the 

ocean.  we spread out and did 

art whenever we wanted, talked about 

where to eat, ate, did more art,

and talk some more.

but first we visited the long beach museum of art

where there was  a wonderful exhibit featuring

contemporary artists. 

a journal given to us by john arbuckle.  

i filled the whole thing with memories 

jo bennett, an artist i met on instagram read some of

my posts about my japanese relatives being 

interned.  she and her mother were moved by the

stories and gifted me this doll which was left to her

mother by japanese americans before they were interned.

a little collage fun.

a cardboard journal john showed us how to make

over the weekend.

acts for my international group.

and a figurative drawing for an online figurative  group.

with being in and out of town, i am a week behind 

on responding to your generous comments but know i am 

always delighted and grateful for  your visit.  

happy friday to all!   i am posting with

paint party friday today.  for some eye candy

stop by and visit!

have a lovely weekend
