Great Day at McLean Artfest – “Pueblo,” two “Gardens” pieces find new homes!
It was a great day yesterday at the McLean Project for the Arts Artfest – sunny and warm and the rains held off until today, thankfully! I had fun meeting new people and reconnecting with those I hadn’t seen in a while. Thanks to everyone for coming out and chatting. Several pieces found new homes…

“Rock Houses” in Process
I’ve spent most of this week working on Rock Houses, at left, to make a photography deadline.

“Garden Path” – rescued and renamed!
Yesterday was a perfect day for working in the studio. Soft rain, a little fall chill in the air . . . I spent part of the day working on “Forest Path,” which I have to admit was one of my least favorite pieces from the project. I think I rescued it! Sometimes an otherwise…
