Monthly Newsletter

Posting my monthly newsletter promptly seems to be a good item to have on the New Year’s Resolution list.

Cloud Appreciation Society

Always my pleasure to pass along the Cloud Appreciation Society newsletter.  Thought I would include one of my own skyscapes – starting material – to go along with this one.

 

But my walls are full….

I often get this phrase as an excuse or reason for people who love my work but don’t want to buy one.  So, for those fans with full walls, you can get my images on mugs, rugs and tshirts.  At for the next couple weeks I have a 35% off coupon for Society6.com.

THIS is my page on Society6 and THIS is the promo link.

And if you wanted something a little more unique, I realize I did not post my monthly newsletter with my latest experiment.

Tales from the field #32

Tomorrow is Black Friday and I’m a retailer so I’ll be at a show in Palm Springs.  Today is Thanksgiving so I wanted to find something to be thankful for:

The flood got deeper as I continued the setup

This Thanksgiving I am thankful that:

• the rain I set up my tent in was merely heavy rain and not freezing
• that it wasn’t windy so I could put the walls up without having to put the weights on first
• that my booth is on a well drained grassy slope
• that my truck was ignored by Palm Springs finest, alongside the red curb and half in a flood, with the park anywhere lights on
• that my truck has a heater because I was soaked from my head to my hips and my feet to my thighs
• that my truck was able to navigate the floods along Ramon Road
• that there weren’t any crazy fast drivers who caused a crash on the freeway
• that I decided to go for this wet setup so I don’t have to get up at 4 am to set up tomorrow
• that I am writing this listening to the rain on my roof while a turkey cooks

Riverside Dogs

In September I attended the Riverside Art Museum fundraiser ‘Art Bark in the Park’.  Selected artists had been given a metal dog to paint on and they were auctioned or sponsored as a fundraiser for the museum.

The reception was held in White Park in Downtown Riverside one warm evening.  There were a lot of dogs there.  I was really surprised how many.

All dogs were well behaved!

Oh look. Jeni and a Beagle. It inevitably has the poem about dogs painted into it.

Some dogs were painted on the back too (mine is the colorful one in the middle)

The crowd matched the amount of dogs

No on had to pick up after their dog!  The perfect pooch.

One up for adoption

None of them used the tree…..

There was a huge variety of decoration

…and they all found a new home…

CCMA membership show

Yesterday I attended the reception of the Chaffey Community Museum of Art Membership show.  Saw a few friends, one of who won an award.

The little on at the bottom left (orange and purple) was an award winner by my friend Joe A. Oaks. The blue and white one near the middle with the fruit on also won an award.

Second from the top right in the corner (going towards the left) is my collaborative piece with Helen Pietre

The show was sponsored by Ontario Elks

Quite a crowd

This won best of show. It’s made of pieces of silk.
