Really. If there is one thing to know about me, is that I’m an overachiever. Case in point:

What could be more distracting than a puppy? Meet Dottie, aka Dottie Parton the Pacific Döthund.
I got her last week through Figz Dog Rescue, and she’s been a dream. A puppy dream, but still a dream.
Also, I continue to work through the course Edible Abstraction by Nicola Bennett via Take Two.
I took Jeannine Miller’s Abstract Starts class at the Artists’ Studio Association last weekend. I had taken a version of this before, so while I paid attention, I also did a lot of “on my own” painting.
Paintings are due for the Pacific Artists’ Gallery rehang. This means I am running around the house evaluating all my pieces over the last few months. Have I shown you these?
I guess I’ll be as surprised as you about what turns up in the gallery. Mark the evening of July 3 down to attend the reception!
