Another Successful Art Festival

Thank you, to all who stopped by my booth and chatted or purchased last weekend at the 7th Annual Art in the Garden juried art show at Aldridge Gardens, Hoover.

I hope that you took a minute to stop and smell the roses. And weren't the hydrangeas beautiful?! Hydrangeas were blooming everywhere! Sales were brisk and the weather was beautiful. I received a First Place Award in the Printmaking category.

Look for my lino prints at the Bluff Park Art Preview Show at Hoover Library (August), however Aldridge closes out the spring/summer exhibitions for me, until the Bluff Park Art Show . . . always the first Saturday of October. The summer months will be dedicated to the completion of the linoleum blocks for my CAGB grant narrative: WALK, IN THE DIRECTION YOU GOIN' IN. September 30th will be here before I know it.
