Greetings from the Farm on a beautiful sunny, warm day in November,

"Breast In Show"

It has been a month since I last communicated with you all. I had a piece of art in the "Breast in Show" exhibit, at the Hang It gallery in NE Minneapolis, part of "Keep a Breast" a cancer awareness group. I was honored to paint the body cast of my friend, Liz. A group of friends and I went to the opening it was an inspiring show. I have included a couple of photos. When I first visited some friends in South Dakota, I always thought the rolling hills were the curvaceous parts of women, so when Liz asked me to create a piece for the show I knew immediately what I would do for this exhibit. The show was in the month of October.

Oil Painting and Art Show in December at The Three Crows, Opening on December 3rd from 4-6:30

Since the last Art Spa I also have started painting in oils, small 9 x 12 pieces, mostly local landscapes, and South Dakota and Alaska, and more. I truely am loving this medium. I just completed my first oil commission . I am nervous about the delivery of the painting tomorrow. I will be having an ART SHOW in December at The Three Crows Cafe' and Coffeehouse. www.TheThreeCrows.com

The Opening will be on December 3rd, Thursday from 4:00-6:30. They also have dinner available at 6:00 and music at 7:00, The Benny Weinback Trio with Gordon Johnson, with a $10 cover on that night. Check The Three Crows website for a description of the music, I believe it is Jazzie. On Saturday, December 5th, there will be a Christmas Art Walk in Delano so that is also a time I will be at The Three Crows. A schedule of the days events will be available at the Delano City Hall Saturday, Dec. 5th from 10-4.
