Life Drawing
I got the opportunity to go to a life drawing session in the Crossroads Arts District. Anyone in the Kansas City area that is interested, the place is called Arts Incubator at 115 W. 18th Street (on the corner of Baltimore and W. 18th) on the Missouri side. Website is http://artsincubatorkc.org/
Any way, I dragged my daughter with me for her first ( Read more... ) -
College
I meant to post this back in late January. My kid is a junior in HS, and looking at colleges. I took her to an open house at Truman State University, the best kept secret in Missouri. Nice campus, good atmosphere and as public universities go, not too expensive for living on campus. She's in love with it. They have the fine art degrees she is ( Read more... ) -
Gah!
I was DSLless for 2 days. And voice phoneless. AT&T came by yesterday and the guy couldn't get to the source of the problem because of a neighbor's tree. And a patch of ice that the ladder didn't like. So he said they'd send a truck to cut the tree branches away. That was yesterday at 3 pm. They'd said I'd have service by 6 pm. No truck. No service ( Read more... ) -

I attended Parents/Teachers conferences Thursday and Friday. Usually I dread them because I'd hear from every teacher how the kidlet didn't turn in all her work, isn't working to her potential, etc ( Read more... ) -

A Special Treat
The Northland Art League got the opportunity to have a special guest: Robert Lebron.
For those not in the know, he's a well-known oil/pallette knife painter. You've probably seen his work reproduced on Christmas cards. He has collectors of his work such as Carol Burnett, Jane Russell, etc.
Anyway, he did a demonstration of how he paints a picture at ( Read more... ) -
WHOO-HOO!
Sold another painting at the gallery! One of my unframed pieces. That will pay for the pastel class supplies I just got.

Renaissance Festival
I guess it's a sign of age when you find yourself leaving earlier each year. That, or I need to skip a year so it seems newer. I'm beginning to know the dialogue for the skits....
It was hot today, and dusty there. After 4 hours I'd seen 4 shows, bought 2 CDs and a hair thingy, walked all over the place, shot 4 arrows, and shared a turkey leg. It ( Read more... )
