Where did June go??

June 1
Once summer hit , ie school ended, the schedule flew out the window. I barely made it to my Tuesday paint group in Apache Shores.  I am working on entering the Georgetown Library's show that must have a "book theme"...so I had our Austin grandsons pose for me as though there is a little reading going on after lights out ( shock, shock!) hence the title, "Breaking Curfew". Keep in mind these are works in progress....

We were in McKinney for a few days and I met with Windy Gallagher, the clever and creative owner of a new shop inside the Convention and Visitors' Bureau called "Made in McKinney". All is going well for her as the word gets out. Many new items are on the shelves including adorable canvas bags in a variety of shapes and sizes that have McKinney scenes on them, some featuring my artwork....Come in for CDs,  T shirts, note cards, framed prints and so much more. The shop is now open on Saturdays until noon. Please visit. You won't be disappointed. Here is one of the scenes coming soon in the store in honor of our great Texas State Fair...."The Star"

Terry's garden inspired me to create "Spiced Up" which is also still a work in progress. I am such a foodie and the harvest is so colorful, it really whet my appetite. Hopefully, this will be a fruit and veggie series as I would also like to capture the colorful Farmers' Markets in Austin and McKinney. Here we go. I'll post the final products.

I held my first cartooning class for 5 aspiring young artists who show some real potential. They each selected an animal and then sketched guidelines, inked in the permanent lines and voila, they really liked the results. Notebooks were started and we will meet again in July.
