We spent a beautiful week in Door County, Wisconsin, hanging a show at Chez
Cheryl, the gallery/studio of Cheryl Stidwell Parker, in Baileys Harbor.   It was a wonderful week to show art, enjoy time with friends, and relax in a very peaceful environment.  A great party was held at the gallery on Thursday night to showcase the art, eat delicious food, and meet new people.  Art has provided some great times for me, going places and meeting people I might never had the chance to meet if I was not an artist.

The new week will be another big adventure with the opening of the show at St. Mark's Lutheran gallery Friday night, August 24, in Des Moines.  The reception begins at 6:30 until 8.  I hope the predicted rain holds off, and not greet guests with a downpour as it did in Door County.  With that said, of course, we still need more rain to end the drought.
