New Week, New Art June 11

A new week, and finally I was able to stay home most of the week, so I was able to get a few new pieces of art done. We have a 5 x 7" watercolor of Pride, A Maine Coon Cat, and a few new ACEO's just because people love them for their affordability. I continue to do one Aceo a week just for the Art4Critters project also, donating 100% of the sale price to whichever rescue or shelter for which it is listed.

Summer has arrived here in Fl... Beach days are here. We are Beaching it a few days a week now, as that is always a joy, sitting by the Ocean, listening to the soothing sounds of the never ending waves rolling in, gentle breezes, people watching and reading a good book. What more could one want.

Our Spot in the Sun

Meeting a Twitter Friend - Art Festival - Gainesville

Saturday, on both an invitation from a Twitter friend and a whim, Bob and I decided to drive across Florida to a town called Gainesville where they were holding their annual Art Festival. We had been invited by twitter friend ArtbyEve in February, to meet in April at this event. When the time drew near, it didn't seem as though it would work out, but on a whim, Bob and I decided to take advantage of the gorgeous warm weather and drive across the state to the Festival anyway. I quickly "Tweeted" Eve, not really expecting to hear from her, and low and behold, as we were driving toward our destination, my cell rang, and here is this cute little voice asking if I were Jo Lynch. Yes, it was Eve. We were able to meet right on the main street of the Art Festival. Eve is a tiny little fun loving very active artist. What a delight. We strolled down the lovely old tree shaded streets in the center of Gainesville viewing all sorts of awesome artwork. There was a great variety, such as glass, pottery, photography, textiles, paintings of course, drawings, jewelry and more. Many wonderful artists attend this event and it has been considered one of the top festivals in the nation since 1996. Eve and I had a short but terrific visit. We hope to visit one another's art setups sometime later this year. Thank You Eve for making us aware of the Festival. Remember we have a great Art Festival here in Daytona Beach in the Fall.
