More fun than a Barbie doll

I spent one afternoon dressing Robin, my grand-daughter, in my heritage costumes and taking photos of her. We had great fun.

The Big Push

Here's what I have been working towards all year.

Hope Diptych side one

This is a painting I started as a demo at Pynelogs gallery on thursday.

Pulling a Tom Sawyer

I have been busy cleaning and decorating my outbuilding for the Columbia Basin tour. I had the good fortune to have family show up and volunteer to help. Randi painted.

And Alan painted

And wonderful Robin painted (she instigated the painting melee).

The walls and various body parts all got painted!

Angel?

This is a little sketch I did a couple of years ago a la Robert Burridge. I would like to explore this kind of thing in the fall....when things calm down.

I have family visting and I am enjoying their company.

Columbia Valley Arts Tour

Columbia VAlley arts tour was Sunday. We set up in the rain. The weather looked very threatening for most of the day, but the rain held off. The organizers of the event did their usual fantastic job.

Little Miss Sunshine

This little girl had a lemonade stand last summer. I was impressed with the outfit she chose.

I sent her and the "forest nymph" off to Arts on the Edge. It is a juried show in Kimberley that has a decent amount of prize money. I might get lucky.
