Obsession
This is Felix and me. I received a riding arena for my birthday (in JULY). Oh sure, most people would go to Europe or the Bahamas or something but I wanted to ride around in circles. I honestly couldn't be happier. Money does buy happiness. I have proof: I had to run circles around and around my husband for the delay flash to work on the camera.  For anybody that knows anything about riding, this photo is going to drive most of you nuts. I don't have him collected up on the bit and my equitation seat is half dressage, half Western, half half-ass, but the sand is really deep in this area and he breaks into trot so I had to give him his head (excuses, excuses). For those of you who have NO idea what I'm talking about that's okay. Click on the larger image and see how cool it is that my left arm is sticking out of my abdomen. Rad, huh? It's not all about art. Horses (and sparkly pretties) are my life blood and inspiration. |

New Stuff - October 2007
| I simply cannot believe how fast time has been flying by lately. It seems as though I have a few million fingers in a zillion different pots. Unfortunately for me, I was only born with ten digits. I suppose I could use my toes, but nobody really wants to envision that, do they? I'm really not THAT flexible anyway contrary to those spiteful bathroom writings in the stalls at Denny's. So what is new with art? Well, my art is in a few more shops, another local gallery, and have a couple more shows coming up. Next week will be the AAUW show at: The Floyd Norgaard Cultural Center 27108 102nd Ave NW Stanwood, WA I will be in attendance at the Patron’s Party if you want to shell out $15, drink wine, and schmooze with me and other artist folk: Friday, October 19, 6:00-9:00pm or the bargain venues in which I won't be in attendance for: Free Art Show: Saturday, October 20, 10:00am-5:00pm Free Art Show: Sunday, October 21, 11am – 5pm And just a teaser, a sneak peek if you will, at one of the newest pieces which will be in attendance:  "Warmbloods (Grey)" And the best part? A huge chunk of the proceeds goes to charity! Hurray! What the charity is for I can't really remember (or perhaps never knew. Shhh. I like to think of myself as a brilliant philanthropist), but I'm sure it is for a VERY good cause. Charity is always very, very good. What I do know for sure is that it is always packed full of people and the food there is extraordinarily yummy. *Edited to add: The American Association of University (AAUW) advances equity for women and girls through advocacy, education and research. (I think they should have started with me.) PS. I no longer have VONAGE. After a few years of complaining of how they sucked donkey wangs, I FINALLY did something about it. Yeah. Thought you'd be glad to hear it. |
