A lot has happened since I last wrote. I relocated for the time being to Cave Junction to spend more time with Mike, in mid-September. Since that time I have been able to paint the fall colors in trees (what a concept!) and have also found out that there is LIFE DRAWING in Oregon. I feel like a glutton, have gone twice a week to different studios to work with live models. It is wonderful and I am beginning to feel as if I am growing again. We have been to Montana for a few days to see my kids and just got back from the Bay Area where we delivered some instruments to a music shop in San Anselmo and Mike repaired a badly damaged guitar. And we visited our friends Stan and Joan in Ukiah. A great road trip. Two weeks ago we were in Reno for the Wild Women Show. I sold nothing at the show but had some sales at Stremmel Gallery to Renown Hospital the day before we hung the show at Rancho San Rafael. So although not a giant plus for me at the show, not a total wash either.

And Tuesday we are to go to Seattle to have Thanksgiving with Mike's son and family. Mike will drop me off at SeaTac on the following Monday so I can begin my Adventure To Oaxaca. I plan on adding more to the blog from Mexico, maybe I will be able to do it en Español. Mike will pick me up in Oaxaca in january; we plan on spending the rest of the month down there playing in the surf and painting. Happy holidays to all, and I hope I have tons of cool stuff to post soon.
