How did we get to Friday so quickly?

Sometimes it seems like the days drag by,
but then the weeks sometimes seem to fly by...go figure???
It might just have something to do with my age.
I entered two pieces in the Art Center Sarasota show, Outward Bound and they were both accepted.  That was a nice surprise.  One, Beach Music, you have seen before here but I finally framed it.


The other was done to replace  a piece that we have hanging in our dining room.  It had really faded so the new one has several coats of UV protection on it.

This one is called "Fiesta"

And here I am with my entries at Art Center Manatee
This has been a different direction for my art journey.  I think I was looking for validation in what I was doing.  Now, I think I will get back to creating.  It is more fun.
Our "season" is drawing to an end which means there will be less traffic on the roads, more chances to get into restaurants and fewer buyers for artwork.
We love to see them come...and we love to see them go.
Wishing everyone a great New Year at Paint Party Friday!
P.S.
The bloom this week is a teeny, tiny dendrobium that blooms on the old dead stems.
