The past few weeks have just flown by.
With Real People 2008. A National Juried show .....
I am co-chair of....... getting my studio finished, moving in and going
through all my acquired stuff.......did I say stuff.... lots of stuff.......
along with family obligations and work obligations.......
A staff of people is required to keep my life going.
My mother always said; Mary you ran everywhere........ I believe I caught myself mom. :)

I do have to say I had a great Sunday visiting with all of you, my family.
Thank you to David for bring this back to life.
And Carl.
Mary for rescuing all the recycle and taking it to its proper destination.


Hope we will do it again, maybe next time in a resort.......... LOL
I was beat, and still recovering this morning.

I feel like I didn't have enough time to re-equate my self with everyone.
A nice slow pace two day weekend with games, swimming and an evening of sharing.
Anyone up for it. Or am I showing my age.......... pining for our Lake Geneva cottage.

It was fun.....good food, good weather and good company.
Good soft ball...........new baby.........welcome Megan.
The Greatest family.
I hope everyone will join us next year.

Watercolor was the media of choice this past Wednesday.
Cleaning out my studio I found two pads of watercolor paper. Being a hot July I thoroughly enjoyed the thought of working with cool water and blue paint.
It has been a few years, looking at the work in the book.

Hope you are enjoying the blog.
Have a great week, take time to savor life.

Thank You to Christine K for taking pictures of my work this week.
Peace

The First week in July
A short week for me, but I did get a chance to read.
I have to laugh, I am such a miss fit at times.
I can't seem to find that balance.
I think it is time to stop looking for that balance, not worry about the balance.
It will come in time.
The next few weeks will be lean as far as work to post. We have a deadline for Real People 2008 and I'm co-chair lol, the deadline is this week I'm organizing all the material for the judges. Plus lots of other details.
I have to tape, mud my studio walls put a base coat of paint on....almost finished...I guess we are never really finished I should say this is as far as I go for a while, so I can start to work.
I'm interested in how this will change my work.


Have a good week

Peace
