New Project, and a busy schedule.

         I am taking on an ambitious art project. It includes the creation of 3 books at once,  a calender and  a line of stuffed, mohair critters. So far, I am in the planning stages using my notebook and several sheets of  15x15 watercolor paper. These are items I can stuff in my travel bag which is important at this time of year, as I have 4 big art shows in a row. That means very little time at home for the next month.  . I can work my art while on the road. I'm so grateful for a reliable friend who takes charge of the farm while we are away.  Here, I list my shows for the month of September and invite you to attend, if you are near any of these locations.  If I weren't doing these events, I would never have seen some of the prettiest towns and locations in the USA. So, this September, as I participate in these shows, I will visually share with you  each location via photos and video. Starting with:

1st show: Sept.6-7th 
Wild Wind Folk Art and Craft Festival
Pittsfield, Pennsylvania
Warren Ct. Fairgrounds

       This wonderful show is pure happiness, with true folk-art and craft, spinners and weavers, potters and carvers and quilters and painters; as well as music and a fresh farmers market. This will be the 35th year for the Wild Wind Festival  held at these quaint fairgrounds 6 miles from the gorgeous Victorian town of Warren PA. I am the Guest Artist this year. Come and see me and all the the other wonderful artists and craftsmen, for a day in the Pennsylvania countryside.
Check out the website for all the details.

2nd Show:

Country Living Fair in Columbus Ohio

Sept. 12-14

Fabulous folk art, antiques, food and demos, book signings, you name it. Hey, if you don't want to purchase a book from me, check out Will Moses!
This is my favorite of the Country Living Fairs held in Historic Ohio Village, a charming place. You must try the Blueberry, Apple or Cherry Cobbler, it is my one weakness ( as Dorcas would say)

3rd show:
Sept. 27-28
Madison, Indiana

This is one of the  most beautiful  Historic towns in America, circa 1840's. High Quality Artists and craftsmen
line the streets with a back-drop of  Federal style homes and mansions.
Many of the booths face the Ohio River, where ferry boats still tug along the water.

 In 2013 I won an award at this show, 3rd place in fine art. From 2012  and backwards,I won the award for Best Booth presentation, 4 times in a row. I am probably jinxing myself telling you all this, and will never win again! Booth design REALLY is my forte. They always give  nice awards AND a check.

4th Show is in

 Louisville, Kentucky, Oct.3-5

       This will be my first year at this show which is held in the neighborhood of the largest grouping of Victorian Homes in Old Louisville.  For years, I've heard rave reviews from other artists  concerning this event. I hope it is as good as everyone says it is!  A very large show covering many streets and avenues. I will be in Booth 895 on Third Street,

 I guess I won't be doing much gardening this month!
But I will try to do a lot of drawing while I travel to and fro from these shows. Stay tuned for the photos of each town as I attend.
