Invitations
I’m currently exhibiting my work at the East Boulder Rec Center. My watercolors will be on display along the ramp behind the reception desk through the end of May.
I will also be taking part in a group show this weekend, May 22 and 23. The event is both a luxury home open house and a fine art exhibit and sale. The location is 6721 Niwot Hills Drive, Niwot, Colorado. The home will be open 10-6 on Saturday and 10-4 on Sunday. Artists taking part include Quang Ho, Scott Fraser, Daniel Sprick, and many others. I hope you can stop by!
Brushes: Last year about this time, my daughter and I visited Mesa Verde. My previous visits to the park had been in the summer; it was wonderful to be able to enjoy the park with smaller crowds. We had a few of the sites all to ourselves! The park felt much more mysterious and ancient without huge crowds everywhere. Unfortunately, some areas of the park aren’t open until after Memorial Day, so there are tradeoffs.
Lost City
Lost City was painted about a month ago. The colors and the rock textures were fun!
Books: In contrast to the ancient world of Mesa Verde, I have some new technology in my life. I recently got a Kindle–and I love it! I find the screen to be very readable and that it reduces strain on my middle-aged eyes. As a result, I’ve been spending more time reading.
I recently finished The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, and I highly recommend it. This is the true story of a woman whose cells were taken without her knowledge; the cells became the first ‘immortal’ cell line (HeLa). As interesting as the scientific information is, even more interesting is the story of how the author got to know the family and her quest to learn the facts about Henrietta’s life.
