Life is so busy...

Life is so busy these days, I have not had chance to do much art or to
catch up on my blog. Our youngest son has been busy getting ready to
do his Eagle Scout Project. We had a car wash fundraiser for him
at the beginning of April so he could get the money to buy supplies
for his project. His actual project was this past weekend and sadly
I was not there for it due to the fact that last October I had booked
my trip to Artfest in Washington state. At the time of course we had
no idea that he would be doing his Eagle Project at the same time.
Still I was there to help at his car wash and maybe one day he will
forgive me:(

I did not take many pictures at Artfest, the one above is at the beach
at Fort Warden where Artfest is held. It was very cold and windy
there so could not stay too long. I was there trying to find a small
flat stone to use in one of my projects.

This is a photo of Jesse Reno, it was my favourite class of the whole

event. He was so much fun and really I would have loved to have

taken more classes with him. The whole point of this class was to

have the Freedom to Create, no thinking, just doing. The piece he

is showing is what he started working on in class, sorry forgot to

get a photo of it at the end of the day. He starts out all of his 

paintings just painting with his hands, yes I mean it. He mixes his

colours by squirting paint in his hands and then uses his hands to 

apply the paint to his piece. It was actually really fun to do, very

messy but fun. I need to do a lot more work on my piece so I am

not sharing any photos of it right now.

It was fun to be away from home and I had fun with my art friend

Michelle, she did a great job of looking after me and making sure

that I did not pick up my very heavy suitcase due to my back.

Not sure if we will go back again next year, the weather was mostly

better than when we went last year but the last 2 days were freezing.

Now it is back home and back to the chaos of real life, school stuff,

boy scout stuff, car problems, laundry to catch up on, husband out

of town again, etc....
