Star Orchids, photography entry in Newport Flower Show, June 2014
There are alot of things going on right now around here. I am back from Costa Rica. Came back a little early to care for Cal, he was really sick with a pulmonary virus in March. He is much better now, 95% better. I am still taking Spanish lessons from Bernarda, now on Skype, love it. Homework and conversational is keeping my mind in the Spanish mode. The house is almost ready to move into, Lots of painting of walls, decisions, trim, colors, curtains, blinds, furniture, blah, blah, blah. All so overwhelming. Also getting ready to teach a class in watercolor in North Kingstown at the arts council. www.nkartscouncil.org. in May. Cal & going to visit my parents in Florida April 3rd and then going to visit Cal's sister in Sanford, thank goodness they all live rather close to one another. Mom healing from broken ribs. Evelyn from Ireland visiting Sheelagh and Alvan, so it is a busy time for Cal and I. Of course we also have a grandkids we love to talk to and coo over, Lyla (5 months) and Hudson who is 9, and Liam and Niamf (3 yrs old) in England. Trying to keep track of all our 5 kids is just like everyones else lives. Just busy, but lovely. Raining today...going over to house to work on refinishing stained glass window in our bedroom. wow!
I am missing painting though. but when we get into house this summer will be awesome in the garden the house and in the studio. This is will be my first summer. I will be getting ready for a show in June in Wickford at the Coastal Living Gallery and then the West Bay Open Studio Tour again the end of October.
Ideas are flowing around art, journaling, home decorating, framing...and looking forward to working on a couple new projects.
1. Creating a book that incorporates my photography, painting, calligraphy on gardens that Cal and I visit this year.
2. Create a cookbook with my illustrations on muffins to eat, serve, & enjoy at lunchtime.
