Indian Summer......A Beautiful Memory!

 

                          Good afternoon from "Maggie The Magnificent Beagle"and myself!

 I have enjoyed the "magnificent" weather for the last week and must say how sorry I was to see it end.  

My husband and I had the pleasure of roaming the paths along the  Elkhorn Creek (with Maggie), enjoying open windows with warm breezes and  a trip to one of the most beautiful horse track in the world, Kenneland in Lexington, KY.

 Kenneland was at the height of  autumn beauty with crisp blue skies, warm temperatures and foilage at  peak colors.    No......we didn't win anything....but it is the "experience and ambiance"....well...ok, it would be fun to win some money. 

I am gearing up for the Holiday Fair in Lexington, KY, November 17th and 18th.   I painted this week plein aire (outside and on location).  I enjoyed the experinece....however,  it does take some "getting used to".   When the warm weather returns in the spring I will give it another try. 

Update on Kentucky Guild Of Artists And Craftsmen Fall Fair, October13th and 14th:

Beautiful warm weather to set up on Friday. Saturday was even nicer than Friday .....outstanding for the guests and exhibitors.  Sunday we lost  to the  wind gusts! 

 The KGAC Executive Director/Board and President made the decision to close early. Difficult decision but  correct considering the storms previous history and the concern for the safety of guests and exhibitors. A huge" Thank You" to all the guests who visited the fair  and supported the artisians with your purchases.  

This is defintely a "Spaghetti Sunday"my husband is making "from scratch" his famous sauce for our evening meal.... I can smell it now...ummm.

I want to express my concern for all my friends and family on the east coast, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, please.... stay safe during the next few days. You are in my thoughts.

Have a week filled with blessings and gratitude.

   

Theres a chill in the air!

Good afternoon.

The fall weather has arrived with  crisp blue skies and  leaves in full color! 

I spent the previous week-end at the Indian Fort Theatre for the annual Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftmens Fall Fair.  The weather was outstanding on Saturday.,"not too hot....not to cold....but...just right"!  Sunday we fought  wind and gusts all day .... Mother Nature won.  We closed the show two hours early.  Good call by the President and Executive Director of the Guild.  The chance of a guest or exhibitor being injured due to the wind was not worth the added time to stay open.

I am working on the Holiday Art Fair which will be held November 15th and 16th in  Lexington at the Convention Center downtown.  I hope many of you can come and  and I  look forward to seeing everyone.

I am  excited and proud to announce that I have been juried into the Kentucky Arts Council, Kentucky Crafted Program.
 Program statement:

"In recognition  of artistic excellence, Pamela Clegg, has been selected to participate in the Kentucky Crafted , a program of the Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, which is supported by state tax dollars and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts."

I am enjoying this fall weather...hope you are also.
