The ABC’s and Holiday Book Flood month
I’ve been working towards “holidays” since about July, making my ABC’s: Artwork Books and Cards for holiday exhibits at the galleries. Such is the life of an artist. And it’s not just me it’s many artists who do this work-in-summer-for-the-holiday-season type of schedule. Creativity is very like running a marathon. So come December sometimes I…

Hope, human spirits, booties and books
This week I primarily worked on fine art commissions that are holiday gifts so no talking about that. Now about booties and books: My wife and I had been discussing our need for new house slippers … but what kind? Where to get them? So with our questions in the air it so happened that…

About my art exhibit opening but mostly about books
My exhibit Figures Of Speech went very well! Lots of people came! So many came that I hid in the kitchen watching the winery chef do her magic! Of course I talked to lots of people and gave art tours so when I say “I hid in the kitchen” that was where I chose to…

Bugs books and Figures Of Speech
Art events are collaborative acts of community. I hold on to that thought whenever I’m tired as I am now prior to an art opening. I focus on the fact that while I might be a visible part of my upcoming art exhibit I am just one part: there’s the Burnt Bridge Cellars winery and…
