Steve's Mole Gets Around

Steve's Round 2 mole arrived 3 days ago, just in time to visit the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston for the Chihuly exhibit. Wow, what a show! Chihuly's themes & colors provide inspiration for what I will draw in it over the next couple weeks.

Steve's book will now fly to Florida in less than a week. It will attend the Space Shuttle Launch in Cape Canaveral (if scheduled takeoff date holds) & be cavorting with pirates & beach bocce teams at the Amelia Island Shrimp Festival, too. Some books have all the fun!

Art Delay Ends After Vacation Jetlag

Being self-employed, my vacations go like this: ugly, weeklong work crunch before I depart... week of vacay, NO work! ...ugly, weeklong work crunch when I return. Sigh. Anyhoo, I did have a grand time in Oregon. I thought of Aya, as I painted on the plane. And I thought of Willie, because I bought sign-art from a homeless man. And my turquoise gemstones (above) accidentally came out like Anders drew them, HA! So you see, even when I'm artistically backed up, you guys are always on my mind :-)
