Dancing Queens

Dancing Queens 16x20 acrylic collage

These lovely ladies succumbed to the lure of polka music at the Kimberley Accordian Festival. I must go this summer and take lots of pictures.

I am dreaming of warm green days. It always seems like the ice and cold weather will never give way. I am always surprised by the hot summer days we get in August (100F/40C occasionally). I spent my first winter here wondering why the previous owner had installed ceiling fans but I learned about that. I am drooling over seed catalogs. No sense getting too excited when it will be the beginning of June before I can plant stuff!

When in doubt.....polka!

I went to the Accordian festival in Kimberley in search of new material.

Oompah music make people dance.

Especially ladies!

Accordian Man

This is one of my entries for the "Faces of Kimberley" show. Kimberley has an accordian festival every year and this year I am going to go get photos. This gentleman was sitting outside the mining museum entrance last year playing away for himself and anyone else's enjoyment. I have always wanted to learn to play an accordian. Then I could be a busker!

I liked his sporty white shoes. It was a challenge making them dark enough to not compete with his crisp white shirt.
