Art and Other Things

Community show at the Greencastle Gallery 7 ... the show will continue through weekends in December and hopefully attract some buyers who think Art for holiday gifts will be worth more than some unnecessary "stuff" from Walmart, KMart, JunkMart.

Pleased to have an etching selected in a juried show (Chambersburg Pa miniatures) My two color etching of a faded sunflower "End of Summer". Many excellent entries (over 400 from all over the USA) and I'm one of the selected. This is the second time I've had a piece in this show and it certainly is a morale booster.

Hoping our upcoming visit to Maine will be a chance to draw and find new ideas for prints. I'm still looking for satisfactory and efficient ways to create multicolored prints in multiples on my equipment at home. It may be a break from the depressing politics of the US Congress.

I'm shocked by the Democrats who are so worried about losing their seats that they won't vote for programs that will give voters a reason to reelect them. The Republicans are ridiculous with their constant "no's" and worse. Voters should see there are no ideas from that source.From this vantage point I would say people are not enamoured of the Repulicans, they just vote the way they always have. Meanwhile Ms. Palin and her family and political adventures are the latest soap opera to divert Americans from what's really happening to them.
