Open house

Friends from my "other life" came to the open house. Sheena, Cheryl, Boby, Andrea and Ishrat were my buddies. I will miss the fun we had at the office but I sure love my free time to paint now!

In the studio before everyone came.


I could only display a few of my paintings in the gallery. There was another show installed. So we chose some of our favorites and made a small display of some of my previous work.


After being in the studio for a couple of weeks, we decided to have an open house to show friends and family where I will be working and painting. I am so happy with the space. I have a feeling that it will be even more wonderful in the winter when the weather is not as beautiful as it has been this summer.
Dan and I ordered sandwiches and veggies and I baked bars. We had coolers of pop and beer and a couple of boxes of wine. As always we over estimated what people would eat and we have lots of beer, wine and pop left over. Enough for the rest of the summer at least.
Lots of good friends and relatives stopped by and stayed longer than we ever imagined. Here are a few pictures of me, the people and the studio cleaned up for the open house.

Home for a long while


I just got the news that my new studio space has been vacated and that I can now move my art supplies and furniture into the guild studio space. The manager sent me a photo of the building and a bit of the space that I will be using. The building was vacated by a church organization and was taken over for the arts guild. Lots happening at the Emy Frentz Art Guild but the most important thing to me is my studio. Just a couple more days at work,then a short weekend away and then I will be in my space painting away. Wish me luck.
