Summertime

 Summer has flown by and the Ojai Studio Artists tour is fast approaching!

My studio will be among the many studios open to welcome visitors and art enthusiasts on the weekend of October 8, 9, 10. If you are interested in attending this fun event, please register on https://ojaistudioartists.org. The tour is free, but you'll need a map to find the studios.

The Ojai Valley Museum has an exhibit with an artwork representing each artist on the tour, so you can go by and see what art speaks to you. Then you can plan which studios to visit.

I had a good summer, starting with a trip to France and Holland with my husband.

In France we were with Workshops In France, who took us and their other guests out each day to different picturesque painting spots around the south of France. We enjoyed hanging out with a nice group of artists before we moved on to Holland to visit friends there.

Of course, not before I got Covid! Therefore, we were not able to fly to Holland and instead had a road trip and days of quarantining before we joined our friends.

Holland is such a beautiful place to visit; nice people (especially our dear friends), beautiful houses and buildings, great museums and it's clean and hip at the same time.

Now we are back at home and I'm working on a new painting about blue passionflowers, pink roses and light pink dahlias.  I just love dahlias and have some in my own garden at home.
