As I write this it is the dead of winter.  Winter means many things to many people.  For me, it’s a time when I drift in thought to the warm weather I so thrive on.  Guess What!  I’m heading back to Florida for the third time in this young year for another 7 art shows!  Look for me in Venice, Jupiter, Jacksonville, and Tampa.  I’ll be attending Mainsail in Tampa the second week of April…. My last show in Florida for this winter show season. 

I have met many new people since the beginning of the year when I spent New Year’s in Fort Meyers and doing Shows in Naples and Fort Meyers.  My last two shows in Cincinnati and Columbus back in December were very special, and I thank all those people who saw me for the first time in my own backyard for their praise of my work.   I was back in Florida in February for two more events and now will be spending March and April in the Sunshine state.  Images of the final nighttime launch of the Space Shuttle are part of my work, as well as some other neat images that have occurred in the past six months since being in Vermont over the summer.

For Angel lovers or just statuary lovers, look under architecture to see two new angel/gravestones taken in Macon, Georgia this month.  I stopped in the cemetery where Duane Allman and Berry Oakley are buried and found two special images to share with my patrons.  Fitting additions to my special angel image, “My Work is Done”.

As my father used to say, the wander bug is alive and well in my system.   My show schedule will reflect current shows through April in Florida, and tentative and confirmed shows throughout the summer in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Maryland and Ohio, as well as hopeful returns to shows in Virginia Beach and Pittsburgh.  I’m excited about spending some time in Chicago this summer at some new shows, and will update the schedule as needed.  For my patrons who have seen at the Three Rivers Art Festival in Pittsburgh this past summer, I plan on attending again in the first five day session.
