Florida Art Show Planning & Studio Visitors

Conner pays us a visit
Summer time found all three of us travelling extensively:- Hawaii, Baltimore, Tennessee, Miami, Naples, Virginia and Ireland  are some of the places we visited and painted. All three of us are home in Florida and back painting.  January is fast approaching. Our art show  "Coastal Cottages Series X11" will open
Plans are being drawn up.  Paintings are being glazed and receiving magical strokes.

Long time friend and supporter visits
Friends are stopping by the studio to say hello and share a cup of tea.  We work and paint for a few more hours until the shore beckons us.    Tomorrow is another day.
