I have so many images from "The Flying Pig" that I filled my camera too soon, but there was so much there to see, the outside gardens were quite magical, this path and that path and where to next?

Artist Statement
Using my practice of quick poses in life drawing, I opportune to experiment with colors and differing line textures to recreate quickly the effects of light on the spiritual essence of the human form. My intention is to pull the viewer into following line, breathing with it's form, knowing it's actual beauty.

I'm sorry we didn't get to go by there this year - we take a different route. But will hit it next time. One year, I bought the best glasses there made from recycled bottles. A favorite of ours now.
Looks like a great place to visit... hope Laura's exhibition has gone well.
