My artist friend Jackie from a wheat farm near Waitsburg WA has a new puppy. It is time for her to be neutered. Jackie tells me all the news about Maggie, and how smart and sweet she is. They lost their old Rotweiler a few months ago and chose Maggie to be a new member of their family. I know she's going to be a special girl.
Jackie has been building her own art studio on their farm. She has had some help from family and friends and workers, but she has done a lot of the work herself. She's been keeping me up to date on the progress as it's happened. The studio is nearly done and here is a picture of it. Her sister Sheri from Ritzville came last week and they did the sheetrock, mud and tape themselves, never having done it before - and it turned out just great. I'm so proud of you, Jackie, because when you first started your dream of a studio of your own, you didn't think it would happen. And there it stands, nearly ready for great artwork to be created in your own space. It's an exciting thing to get your own special space.
JACKIE'S NEW ART STUDIO
Thurs - Sun. I'm going to our Mixed Media Round Hill Ranch painting retreat. We have a wonderful time together and I'm really looking forward to it. Joe's resigned. I'm getting organized for that, what art supplies to take. We all contribute to the meals so I'll have to get something planned and prepared to take along.
Yesterday I got quite a bit more of The Nevada Years section of The Book re-re-re-edited. I think I've got that section about as finalized as possible. Gloria's sending me some old family photos I don't have, so I'll share a few with you.
