A busy week!

Rainer's painting of us in Koeln at the Dom for it takes two (2)
Hello! Oops! This week has slipped by without a post - not my normal mode, but so many exceptional things happened this week. First, there was a deadline. It was met and not with a crazed feeling, but more of a completed good feeling.

Then there were snowstorms.

And beautiful daughters winning gold keys for their artwork.

And painting or six to finish.

And classes to teach.

And photos to take. And artwork to encourage along ... and hanging of our new show - more peeks on that around noon

So you asked for more of Rainer's work. Here are his two birds. We are leaving for Germany tomorrow for vacation so there is a lot to do today in preperation! I will be posting photos at my flickr and the occasional post here with what we see in Germany. What does this week hold for you?

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag Rainer! (hbty)

A reminder too - the last three days to pick up a print of "wired" at prettydarnswell - where did the month go?

Photographs

Just a little photo today. i didn't take it. my husband did. of himself. i happen to love this photo. It was taken while we were in northern italy. Even at 11 p.m. at night it was still around 95F. I think it better warm up here soon, I am losing it. For some truly beautiful photographs, hop over to Susanna's Sketchbook. She will amaze you!
