The theme for this summer’s road trip vacation was finding as many Art-o-mats as possible. I managed to locate 8 of them-still haven’t found my work in any of them yet.

Just got back after being on the road for 10days-TX and NM.  Good trip and great people.  Here’s what I managed to crank out (mostly in Silver City, NM). 

I’ve been a slacker on the creativity lately. I’m trying to be more domestic and de-clutter the house and regain control of the yard after a very soggy spring. I’m making good progress. I’m also trying to organize and prep for fall/holiday shows. Right now I know I’ll be at Art Westport (Kansas City) in Sept.

The focus for the week was on getting ready for the Mulvane Art Fair in Topeka KS.  I had not been to this show before-nice venue and people.  The weather was crazy!- threat of storms, wind and blazing sun with soupy humidity.  I was mighty grateful that my tent held up! but I must admit, indoor shows are my preference!
