will take better photos tomorrow for posting this on Zazzle and Fine Art America but I thought today's arts walk might be slow at times and I was correct so I brought my WC pencils and created these two drawings. I'm going to frame the tree to submit to the Annual Helen Norris Open Exhibit at Sidney Art Gallery in Port Orchard. I'm also taking up artwork for my art buddies [Peggy, Joanne and Andrea].

I'm also framing the acrylic "Heron's Morning" that I posted a few weeks back for the Norris event.
I wasn't able to attend the NW Furniture Bank reception because of Arts Walk and here's an email I received - talk about time flying!
Thank you for being one of the Chair Affair's "5 Year Artists"! At our wonderful event last night, I presented a special award to those 5 year artists who were in attendance.......there are 9 total.......as a huge thanks for coming on board the first year with a brand new event, and staying with us every year.
We appreciate you! And, I have your gifts, and would like to deliver them to you - hopefully not mail as they are not tiny.....
Plus I never have had any luck selling at Arts Walk - well, I had something special going on this year.... one of my friends bought two "cubicle art" collages and I sold two other mini collages from last year's Avanti Art & Design 30x30 challenge yesterday and one today at 5:30 when I was just thinking of packing up.
Here's my display - simple and tidy...
I'm interviewing for Splash Gallery on Monday but my art buddies [Joanne and Judi] and I are going to check out the other co-op gallery which now is located near the mall. We heard very good things about both galleries - I see much pondering in my future 
keep arting
