I try to take my paints and just go whenever I can. I have been visiting the little in Omaha and I thought it was time for a trek to Standing Bear Lake. This was a beautiful spot to paint.

Thanks to all those who came out to Kearney Art in the Park yesterday. It was great to see so many friends and enjoy art together.

This is the third post in a series, Art After Fifty. You can read the first and second posts here.

Dealing With Frustrations

Shortly after I began painting, my niece gave me a book -- The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. This book encourages journaling in what are called “daily pages.” Being the rule follower that I am, I promptly bought some moleskin notebooks and set pen to page.

Gary and I invite you to our art and photography show opening next week (May 16th, 2017) at the Carnegie Arts Center in Alliance, Nebraska. 

The reception will be June 24th from 1:30 - 3:30 and you're invited!

I am a music nerd. To the core. Piano lessons were the highlight of my seven year old life, and yes, I am often reminded by my piano-lesson-taking-sisters that I did hog the piano. 

The piano has been my friend, my disciplinarian, my therapist and my voice for many years. No matter how much time passes, I can still sit down with her and we have a beautiful exchange as all best friends do.

Finding Classes

It’s fun to learn and it’s fun to gather with other people to make art. It’s even more fun when you find a group of people that are so like minded they feel like a tribe. I think that’s a little of what we find in both online and in person art workshops.
