Today I sent off 2 quilts for the Charlevoix Circle of Arts show, which opens July 17th. Stop by and see the show.

Today was the Last Saturday ArtSmart for June. We had pretty good weather, and a fun day. The Plein Aire Painters were around town too, so watch for great pictures.

Big fish windsock 3, number 176.

Number 175, the second big fish windsock.

Mosaics, numbers 168-174. You saw some of these before grouting.

I spent a couple hours making fish windsocks today. They are for a parade and festival in July. Number 166, 167.

You should go see this museum, it is wonderful, and each room is better than the last.
At the Nelson Atkins museum, in Kansas City, MO. we saw wonderful things. There is a great painting by Sargent, the young man, with lively brushwork. There was a terrific collection of African art too.
And this is a bultos, a 3D carving of a saint. It’s from New Mexico.

We had lunch at California Tacos, about a mile from the museum. It was on the Food Network. Good food, old time ambiance.

At the Joslyn Art Center, in Omaha, I could only take pictures in the atrium and entry, but the exhibit of American Impressionists and Post Impressionists was Impressive. We loved it, amazing. It’s there until Sept. 19 I believe. It was worth the drive.

There are several buildings at the Joslyn Art Center, we only went into one.
