Well it's been a long time. My life has been filled with activities. I have had the joy of babysitting with our three grandchildren, sharing in the weddings of three young people( two more to go), and of course doing art shows. There is one show left. It is in Cincinnati and I am excited. Our girls (Milkmoon Kids) are the booth directly next to us. This will be their first outdoor show. We are in our thirty-first year of doing shows. I am more excited for them than for us. I am also very proud of all of my kids. They have all grown up surrounded by and being involved in the arts. Maybe we will see some of you there. It is a one day show, Sunday, October 3, 2010. It is on the square in Hyde Park. There are always large numbers of painters in this show. The area is charming.

Above you see one of the pieces that I will be exhibiting in Hyde Park. I am still having fun exploring my own potential as a painter. I will often think that I should venture out to different subject matter, but I love landscapes. The moon, the sun, the circle shape is found in many of my pieces. I find the circle to be a very pleasing shape. I continue to think pattern as I paint.
I post at this time just to let everyone know that I am still out here enjoying retirement, painting and family. Here's hoping that all is well with each of you and your families.
