I would like to thank everyone who came out to July's 2nd Friday event! It was great fun! I am always glad to see you, especially those of you who suprised me! How lovely! I am just overwhelmed. I was visited by some friends that I have worked with for nearly 12 years+ and consider so dear to me! Then, I was suprised by my best friend from...high school! Can you believe it! We have kept in touch all these years (I won't count them out for you!) but we have never actually gotten together. I am still reeling from the night. I also got to spend the evening with my favourite sister and my Nephew. This is always so special - even more so since He and I share the same birthday! Aries unite! Between all the great people in my life that are supporting me, and all the new people I meet each time, I just LOVE the positive energy that Studio 8 has brought into my life, and it has also created the reason for people to get together and enjoy art and reminiscence about life, friendship and the importance of sharing and not just getting together, but staying in touch. I hope that Studio 8 remains an open portal to this on-going communication and encourages more reunions!

Well, now back to work! Here is another photo of my young Juarez girls (see blog entry 5/29). You can see that I am now moving out of the blocking phase and into more detail and depth building. As I mentioned before, I have been having to take breaks because I was getting too tight. But now I am getting energized as I start to see the whole painting fill in. I have added some freelance detail to her head scarf, and will keep working away at the layer building of the white blouse and the babies white bib. As usual! I would love any feedback, and if you want to see her in person, stop by Studio 8 for a chat!

I too have returned to painting. This week I finished a pleine aire painting of the Charlottesville grainery. Also I began working on a winter setting of the "Red Mill" on London Road. African Mother and Child is progressing too. Thanks for your interest in making this studio scene work for the good of everyone. I love your style within the above painting. Keep it loose and colorful. SH

Saturday I attended an oil pastel workshop sponsored by our art educators of Indiana...district three in Alexandria, IN. I was amazed at the painting quality one can get using various brands of oil pastel. Feel free to stop in my studio 12A to view my experiments. Wondering too how the pleine aire event went Saturday at Fortville?? It sure was a hot day.
