Summer Library Crawl
I have been discovering which of our local community libraries have a great children's section. The results of my independent poll have been surprising. Some of the best educational books that I have stumbled on have been in the childen's libraries. They have great books on artists and on arts and crafts ideas. And of course the pictures and colors are always great.
Just when I had given up on my search for what I was looking for on the Rain Forest, I found a beaucoup stash of books with incredible pictures at a local neighborhood library. I am also amazed at how the librarians are so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I'm thinking that maybe they are just perplexed by my patronage. You know, I'm kinda an outliar on the bell curve for age.

Over time I've learned not to fight a lot of things, including what my art looks like. Today, it comes from my soul and I allow it only to be source of joy. It has become one of my essential ingredients for happiness.

While my paintings are escapism, the real world reminds me daily of the work we have yet to do and the purpose that we serve. “To whom much is given, much is expected.” - Luke 12: 48
