When the student is ready, a teacher will appear -- Buddhist proverb.
Sapelo Marsh Sunset
On view at Thornebrook Gallery, Gainesville, FL, Sept 9 - 14.
Opening gala Sept. 9 from 6:00 - 9:00 pm.
I'm honored to be included in
The Mob show with about 30 other local and very talented artists in this lovely gallery and gift shop. Owner David Arrighi is known for his excellent curating skills.
I must be ready because suddenly I'm surrounded by wonderful teachers. One of them is Gretchen Rubin who wrote The Happiness Project and helped inspire me to "go off the path" as she says "to encounter the unexpected thoughts, unfamiliar scenes, new people, and unconventional juxtapositions that are key sources of creative energy - and happiness. I am going to spend more time on exploration, degression, and failed attempts that don't always look productive."
More specifically I'm meditating, working out with a trainer, learning Tai Chi, and wearing silly hats.
I will paint for the next while
1. to please myself
2. to please you...I am happy to continue to do your custom work, and
3. to support the Barrier Islands: Creations of Tide and Time exhibit for the benefit of all
Future art events--You will find my exhibit and paint out schedules light or absent. I'm transitioning on a high note and am deeply grateful for all your support in paint out visits, purchases, and commissions. Thank you also for your warmth and support in response to the e-newsletters.
Consider a studio visit to see all my Barrier Island paintings. They are back from the Florida Museum of Natural History. I'd love to have you visit. We can sip cucumber infused water (or wine) and feast on anything from gazpacho to homemade maple trail mix.....and look at paintings!
