Sunday, August 9, 2015. I go in streaks, painting for a while, then going back to cutting and pasting. On Friday I drove to Madison to deliver a painting to a WRAP show at the Pyle Center. And took the rest of the morning to visit Artist and Craftsman Supply. And the galleries at the Overture Center and the Chazen. My favorite show was at the James Watrous Gallery.

8220;Once, it was about seeing Madeline Island. Now, after twelve years of living here year-round, I am a part of Madeline Island and it is a part of me. Although I can still be found painting on The Sleeping Dogs or in The Tamarack Watergarden, I am not as visible as I once was. Am most often at home - playing with my Grandchildren, gardening, and creating. Madeline Island has engulfed me and brought me the inner peace of finding home. 8220;To draw, you must close your eyes and sing.
