Artist Friends...

 
Artists thrive on talking to other artists...it's very productive conversation. Tonight, I attended the opening reception for Joan Coderre, a terrific watercolor artist, at the Pia Sjolin Gallery in Canton. My sister Martha, her good friend (and great artist) Marge, came along too. Pia is a very interesting woman to talk to. Lots to think about!
Good seeing everyone.

Shocking Pink!

 
In 1947 fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli introduced the color "hot pink" to western fashion. She dubbed the shade "shocking pink". In class today I saw a student wearing these bright new sneakers...some colors are just always in vogue!

The Art Teacher....

 
"It is the supreme ART of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge."-Albert Einstein....My daughter, Lauren is becoming a great art teacher!

Solitude...

 
"Oh Solitude! If I must with thee dwell, Let it not be among the jumbled heap of murky buildings."-John Keats.. (An abandoned axe factory in Collinsville)

Remembrance....

 
"Although no sculptured marble should rise to their memory, nor engraved stone bear record of their deeds, yet will their remembrance be as lasting as the land they honored."-Daniel Webster (Flags honoring the soldiers in Farmington)

Purple Haze..

 
"Excuse me while I kiss the sky"-Jimi Hendrix....this has been a fabulous day..so excuse me while I just take note of it!!

Wasted away again in Margaritaville...

 
It's the official start of the summer and to christen our new patio we made a pitcher of Presidente Margaritas tonight...they were "mucho excellente"...(maybe a little tooo good ;)
