Next, I went to the mail box and there.....completely unexpectedly....and in a beautifully decorated envelope, was the sweetest little handmade owl from my (also sweet and gorgeous!) friend from Canada, Tammy McGee.
These 2 amazing people are representative of the wonderful, life-changing event known as ARTFEST! I first went to Artfest 5 years ago. I went alone but made fast friends immediately (with my Artfest Other-Half, Cheryl McLeod). It was such an inspiring event that I came home, changed my whole artistic life and by the next year, I was teaching there! Every year I meet people that stay in my life. It is so refreshing to have an extended family of like-minded artists who are so accepting and encouraging. Please look into the event. It will change your life!
One final thing (really 2 final things!): Here are 2 paintings from this week. The first is one of the black and white drawings from last week.
