Leaving on a Jet Plane

This is all I have for you today. A nice salad, fresh from the garden: chopped basil on lemon cukes, red onions, tomatoes, salt and pepper and rice vinegar. Will make you very agreeable.

In one hour I leave for the airport to teach at Art Unraveled in Phoenix. I'm still deciding whether to take the laptop or be free of it. Since Katie is my room mate I don't anticipate much time for blogging.

I'll share a gorgeous blog I've had on my Bloglines for some time now. Go here and look at the dreamy photographs.

I'll be back next week so if you order a print from my website it will be shipped around the 14th but not before. John will be here to answer the phone when he's not in the garden.

So much preparation before teaching; boxes to ship and lists to check. But now all the work is behind me and I can just focus on the thing I love; meeting other artists and sharing their joy as they learn new techniques. Laughing until our sides hurt. Sharing our successes and agreeing that our failures guide us on to better work. Just connecting with beautiful people. This is the place where we all shine for each other.
