Mom in the gallery

Well, the art opening went well! It was well attended and i sold 5 more pieces! I also had lots of other inquiries about several other possible sales. The show is up till July 10th, so hopefully I’ll keep selling.It’s been a very busy last few days…family in town, lots of eating, drinking and visiting. I’m behind on emails, projects, etc., but that’s okay, soon i’ll be back in the swing and posting normally. Here’s a photo of my Dad, Mom, one of my brothers, Clayton, and me

**UPDATE** i made the arts & entertainment section of our local paper here in Long Beach!!

So it is with minds.
Unless you keep them busy with some definite subject that will bridle and control them,
they throw themselves in disorder hither and yon in the vague field of imagination.

Touch the earth, love the earth, honour the earth, her plains, her valleys, her hills, and her seas;
rest your spirit in her solitary places. Ernest Dimnet

You can swim against the tide and get exhausted, or you can tread water and let the tide
sweep you away, or you can swim with the tide, and let it take you where it wants you to go.
