Moving Forward....

The sun is peeking out this afternoon and  I am so glad  we finally got a little rain this week-end.  Well needed relief from the heat and dry weather we have experienced for several weeks.

I have been remiss in posting on my blog, but everyone knows that" life happens" and your priorities change daily.

I do want to thank everyone who came to the Francisco's Farm Art Festival  It was hot both days, but no rain and everyone had a great time.  Thank you to Lexington Art League.....the show was beautifully managed and executed for exhibitors and  guests.  The volunteers (again) were the best!  Equs Run Vineyard  is a beautiful location for the show and are gracious hosts.

 It was  one of  the best shows I have participated in  for several years.  The customers were fantastic. I more than met my goals for the show.  I would like to say  Thank You to everyone who visited my booth and to the customers who liked my paintings enough to take  them home! 

 Floral Fusion at Scott County Arts Consortium went great.  Joan McCarthy made a beautiful floral  arrangement interpreting  my paintings titled, "Somewhere Our There". 

I will update everyone on shows and exhibitions in next blog, I am teaching two workshops in August....which I enjoy so much.  I am thankful to be so busy.

OK...now for the hard part.  Many who read my last blog, know that "Murphy" my big, fat  yellow cat had been sick and we had taken him to the vet and felt confident that he  was on the road to recovery.  That was not to be.  Murphy was in the intial stages of live cancer after all and we were not able to save him despite  a valiant effort from Murphy, myself, and our wonderful vet Dr. Parr.  

Murphy left this world  quietly and gently as I held him on June 12th.   I will not even try to say how much Murphy  is missed......because I am sure many have been where I have been these last few weeks.   I am grateful for the time I had with this wonderful cat......who thought he really was a dog!

I hope everyone has a wonderful week.
