YOU MIGHT BE AN ARTIST, IF . . .
- you sometimes look at your palette, and think it looks better than your painting . . .
- you've ever drunk the rinse water, instead of the coffee.
- you've ever dipped your brush into the coffee, instead of the rinse water.
- you think some of your paintings look better upside down.
- you get upside down, in order to "see" better.
- your new manicure lasts less than a day.
- you use nail clippers and hand lotion for your next manicure, and call it good.
- you don't have just one favorite color anymore.
SORRY . . . there's no cure.

ART CAMP DURANGO
This year, my granddaughters came to Durango, for our 3rd Annual Art Camp . . .
We were all excited to have them here -- but, especially our dog, Royal!
We were drawing and painting for 3 days straight . . .
Day 1 -- Mingling & Mosaics
Day 2 -- Lines, Layers, & Landscapes
Day 3 -- Forests & Flowers
They worked hard, but there was still plenty of time for hiking, eating, movies, and just goofing around . . .
The dads (my sons) drove from Denver to pick them up and were blown away by their finished
projects! Me, too!
