We had a busy weekend.  Started with Friday morning breakfast with friends at Stone House Cafe. A small family run business and worth supporting. Friday night we had tickets to Mickeys Black Box in Lititz to see Yacht Lobsters.    They were fantastic!  If you get a chance to see them...go!  Then Sunday we went for lunch with friends to Marmalade.  Very good!  Monday, back to painting.  Linda finished organizing our taxes, they are ready for the accountant.

Meanwhile, Linda says things happen in 3's.  Our van needs some work and it is scheduled for the garage this week.  Meanwhile a "light" came on in our car...I need to have it towed.  So to make life easier, we rented a car for a few days.  But, this morning our upstairs renter called with a water issue.  So our plumber was called and he came right out.  That's my 3 issues for the week!  Life can settle down now!

The weekend is my larger painting time.  I do have a large commission I have been putting off.  I want to see if I may use it as a demo painting since it is not a gift.  I will keep you updated.

I took poetic license with this one and made it a night scene. I love full moons and the light it casts.

Linda has been at her desk most of the day filling out show applications. I think the old days were easier. The show sent you a paper application to fill out and you sent in slides. Today you need computer skills.  Meanwhile, I am painting! I'll spend the weekend on a larger piece.
 I WAS going to open the studio Feb. 7th however with the amount of snow and lack of parking we will wait till March 21, so save the date!  The snow will be melted by then...right?
