It's Show Time!

A Lemony Season!

My how time does fly! Especially when life hands you lemons by the bushel. All one can do is make lemonade... like mad, and that's what I've been trying to do. So many Shows in the coming weeks. Between commissions and show preparations it's no small wonder that I've been slack on postings, apologies are in order.

Somewhere in a sea of bubble-wrap and boxes I found a moment to put some words together. Albeit disjointed, rambling but words nonetheless. The first shipment went out Thursday and another one sits ready and scheduled to go out next week. Some of the works produced during this craziness you can see below.

I have done as much as I can do before flying off to the first event, the 2nd Annual SpookyTime Jingles Soiree.

Im always grateful for all the encouragement and support from the online community, some of which of you I am now happy to call friends. I look forward to seeing many of you again this year at all the upcoming events. I've been amazed by the scope of work that you've all executed and I've been trying desperately to keep up, I hope I've met the task.

In just a couple of weeks time I'll be happy to be at this years Halloween & Vine,

The final icing on the being Spirits in Sanford.

It will be a whirlwind season, but a fun one. Hope you'll join us at one of these fabulous events.

There's bound to be one happening near you so come on down and introduce yourself!

The Patry's Over...

And what a party it was. The 15th annual Halloween and Vine has come and gone, but not before old acquaintances were renewed and new ones sewn. A great big thanks to all those of true blue as well as new collectors who continue to support this talented group of artist. It is through your efforts that we can continue our creative endeavors.

I got there a little early so I jumped in and helped getting some of the decorations together with Ginny Diezel one of the original founders of Halloween And Vine.

It wasn't long before others started to arrive like Dani Nelson and Wendy Leaumont from Spookytime Jingles.

It didn't take long to realize I had to get my act together so after a little caffiene fix ti was to work I went, and at the speed of light as you can see!

after a bit I was all set up and ready for the next day.

I apologize for the lack of pics of other Artists booth but when in a rush and at a certain age taking pictures without a tripod produces, shall we say a nebulous result.

I had the pleasure of being situated next to Allen Cunningham his work is so amazingly detailed in person, the scale he works in just blows me away! My hazy pictures did no justice to his work.

David's table from ChickenLips was all set and done as was everyone else's by the end of the day.

An encouraging line of collectors almost 200 strong ready and waiting for the doors to open at nine, many had been there since before dawn, amazing ,right. Thank you all!

The doors opened and the crowds thronged to the artists tables.

Not long into the event did William Bezek's table looked sparse as his collectors picked it to the bone in no time.

One thing led to another and before you knew it in much too short a time it was over.

But the fun didn't end there most of us ended up at the after party held at the Adobe Pumpkin Farm. Great food, lovely live music fantastic crowd all made for a delightful evening. After many goodbyes we were off early the next day. For some reason my TomTom plotted a route back to San Francisco that I had never taken, I went with the flow and was I glad.. the scenery was spectacular as you can see.

It was the perfect ending for a great weekend. Till next Year!

Now to get ready for Spirits in Sanford and SpookyTimeJinges Soiree, see ya all there!
