Heron watercolor and quote

Birds...one of my favorite things.

Green Heron
practicing my watercolor

 
“When despair for the world grows in me, and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be -- I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought or grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”
---Wendell Berry

New art league location

Our local art league has a new place to have meetings,
to paint, to show, and sell our art.
It's a nice big room,
and we started setting it up today.

 About half of our members were able to help today.
These hangers are wonderful!
No holes in THESE walls.

Artist of the Month

OK, I'm set up and ready....almost.
Better move those loose papers.

Total pieces of art brought in today...
over 50!
Whew!

We still have a few things to do
before Saturday,
but it's looking great.
We love the space.

Savor the Day!
