Art is a wonderful way to experience the world.

A Fluffy Red Ribbon

The last weekend in July I was at a great show produced by the Glenview Art League. This was the show's 70th year, producers know what they're doing and took very good care of us all weekend.

85 artists set up their tents on the shady lawn of Lyons Elementary School. There was food and children's art activities too. Crowds of educated art-loving folks were present all weekend. I sold a number of original 2-D torn paper pieces, prints from my Door County series, and BONUS, my work was awarded this beautiful fluffy ribbon.

One of my favorite parts of doing art shows is talking and listening to all the folks who come into my booth - and want to engage. There were many of you this weekend. Thank you for sharing your stories and thoughts with me. thank you also for believing in me and my work, and buying original art from me. It means more that you'll ever know.

    Love:
    looking at art,
    talking about art,
    making art,
    writing about art,
    hearing about art.


    I am so very fortunate to have a dear friend who is a rabid lover of art like me.

    During the cold winter months, we travel every other week in search of art.

    There are art shows everywhere if you look - and we do.

    Every local library has an art show, most towns have small art centers or at least one art gallery.

    A small college?
    You are most likely in luck, there will be a small gallery showcasing an artist's or a group of artist's labors of love and passion.

    Many local restaurants and coffee shops regularly hang the work of local artists.

    All you need to do is be on the lookout.

    You will be richly rewarded by spending some time inside an artist's vision or view of the world.


    We dig around online to find shows somewhere within 100 miles of where we both live - we live 38 miles from each other.

    After some back and forth, make our decision and point our cars at our destination.


    We have yet to be disappointed.

    Mostly we come away from our bi-weekly adventures filled with awe and profound gratitude that we are able to have these experiences.
