My Favorite Time of Year & the Weaverville Art Safari

Posted on by

It’s that time of year. Time to enjoy all the fall colors and Art From the Heart of the
Blue Ridge. The Weaverville Arts Safari is now less than two weeks away, on Sat., the 24th and Sun., the 25th from 10am-5pm both days. Be sure to arrive early for the Safari Half Price Specials.

For this tour, two pieces from my new Tattoo series will be unveiled! Also, brand new Mason Jars and County Kitchens plus four new ‘Summer Bundle’ medicine bundles.

This year my white-on-white “sketches” are presented in beautiful white floating frames. They are $100. There are only six so be sure to get to the studio early!

There’s a whole lot more, and you’ll just have to visit to find out what I’ve been up to. C’mon y’all and all y’all.

I’m #4 on the map, which can be downloaded here: http://weavervilleartsafari.com/public/docs/web_brochure_2015_fall.pdf

Preserving Memories

Posted on by

Photos on phones, in scrapbooks and photo albums, movies, television, art on walls and in galleries and museums are all ways we preserve our memories.

Growing up in the depression and World War II, some of the best memories we have were of canning and preserving — the Mason Jars full of every beautiful example of the harvest and the hunt. The steaming kitchens, wood stoves, perspiring women, and the formica tables laden with row after row of glass jars filled with vegetables and fruit held the promise of plenty on the table during the long, cold, Black Hills winters.

I revisit those times by showing you other precious memories, such as, “Preserve October” and “Preserve Ladybugs” and other things that we need to remember.

Several other preserved memories, such as “Preserve Spring Flowers” will show up in the ever-growing Mason Jar series which you can see during the Weaverville Art Safari on Sat. & Sun., Oct. 24th and 25th. Check out our Facebook page and the official Weaverville Art Safari website. I am #4 on the map. Stop by, and enjoy something from a Mason Jar (no, not THAT!). I think you’ll like what you see and hear.

Thanks for visiting me …
