The reason for going over subjects like this is because I want to give you a complete picture of what an artist’s life consists of. (No, I don’t get to just sit around and draw all day. Phooey.) This could be called “Celebrating Agriculture With The Arts”, but that title already belongs to the Madera […]
Redbud Festival (not rosebud)
Redbud is a gorgeous tree or shrub that blooms in March in Three Rivers (and probably many other places.) For many years, Three Rivers has had an arts and crafts fair called the Redbud Festival. It happens in May, this year on Saturday, May 13 and Sunday, May 14. Where? So glad you asked – Three Rivers […]
Opening Night at Gray Matter
The show “Gray Matter”, consisting of pencil drawings by 3 of my advanced drawing students and me, opened on Friday evening. This is the Brandon-Mitchell Gallery from the front, 117 S. Locust Street, Visalia, California. That is the county seat of Tulare County, in Central California where I live and work as an artist. (In […]

A List and an Attitude
Here is a list about the vicissitudes* of my life; you may detect a certain attitude coming through. Tomorrow I will try to resume a more professional and detached approach to blogging. Samson caught his first rat! Yep, rat, not mouse. He played with it until Michael took it away. His cat food must be […]
Nice Day on the Farm
Thus we conclude the boutiques, bazaars and shows for 2016. Isn’t “thus” a stuffy word? I don’t think it gets used much in conversation. Save
A Different Type of Event
Tomorrow I will be participating in a different sort of event. It is part of 1st Saturday, Three Rivers. I will be with 3 other Kaweah Artisans in a barn at a farm outside of Three Rivers. You can learn about 1st Saturday Three Rivers by clicking (or tapping if you have a “device”) on […]
Shows, Festivals, Bazaars and Boutiques
These are all words that mean schlepping my work and supporting structures to some place (usually with the assistance of Trail Guy), setting it up to look appealing, and standing around greeting people and selling them things. Not “selling” selling, just helping people acquire things they want to own or give away. I don’t want […]
Perfect Gift Boutique
Someone said this is our 16th 17th annual Perfect Gift Boutique (the same someone who made the little ad above). That is difficult to fathom. Must be having fun, because time is flying! To get to the Three Rivers Arts Center, head east on Highway 198. After you pass the first commercial part of town […]
