Hey folks,  I've been more than lax on contributing to my own blog.  There has been a lot of activity going on in the immediate family.  Some good, some bad.  I am continuing to be prolific in my artworks and find that it is the only thing I can do that makes me zone out on serious other trouble going on elsewhere, that I can do nothing about.

One of my brothers in undergoing cancer treatments and is is very hard to not be able to help the situation in any way except to pray and hope that he will be back in better form that before.  My thoughts are with him continually.

On a better note, I have been noticed more on Facebook and also have had recent sales that have boosted my morale.

Six paintings were sold in the last two weeks and that felt just great!!!  I have also been working on the Christmas cards that I sell annually to all manner of businesses and private buyers.  Just now trying to find a better way to keep printing costs down.

It is about to rain.  Two old friends I haven't seen in a couple of years stopped by this morning - at exactly the same time..or five minutes apart.  That was weird!  Things always happen like this - unexpectedly, and totally welcomed.  Tonight there is a big meeting in the gallery downstairs in our building, mostly I believe to discuss the huge September Reno Open Studios venue that we are having in this building.  Very exciting.  I will post dates etc or you can always go to the Reno Open Studios site to get more info and artwork views.

That's it for now.  Love to all.
