Happy New Year!!  Well, it's still a valid greeting, afterall, the year is only half over.  Let's hope the second half is as great as the first half.

I'm still painting like a crazy woman!  Trying to stay ahead of what might be needed to have on hand.  That probably sounds overly positive.   It takes oil paintings a long time to dry so I have to think ahead to have them rolling out ready to hang.   It is definitely a great thing to need to have plenty on hand!

My exhibt at the Old Town Frame Company was a beautiful sight, as shown by the attached photos.   We had a great turnout with lots of interest in the artwork.   The display will continue into June with a final date open at this time.

I'm preparing for the Sedona Art Center's Featured Artists event for July/August/September.  My pieces are being framed as we speak.   I hope you will look forward to scenes from that event in July's newsletter.

As you know, I always like to comment on the wildlife in the area.  While at out walking, I stopped to take a photo and turned around to see a snake laying in the center of the road.  I thought it was dead, but it wasn't.  I stood still, and it continued it's journey to the other side of the road.  I'm pretty sure it was a King Snake, and having heard they are good to have around I wasn't afraid.  I did get a couple of photos of it as it passed me.  Yesterday I saw the backend of a Coyote as it briefly stopped behind a bush and scratched itself.
