I have been invited to show at The Lower Adirondack Regional Art Center in upstate NY. This is a juried show with 5 artists called Once Again.

The theme of my particular part of the show is "Art Inspired by a Renaissance Faire Banquet." I am pleased that I was chosen as most art center galleries go for more trendy contemporary art than mine.

In addition to working like mad for the show, we are mixing in the recording studio. I also create 24 new greeting card designs every other month (which means a new painting or graphic every other day... insane) and I fit in a gig (& practicing for it) in there somewhere too! It's all been overwhelming, meaning that I work from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep.

As for winter, I never remember it being so difficult. There have been days where shoveling snow took an entire day. What a way to spend your life just to be able to get out. And we pay taxes here for road plowing where they come through & push the snow that you've cleared, meaning re-shovelling everything all over again (& sometimes many times over again!). Every night I dream about bright sunshine, flowers, robins, green plants & awake to a moonscape of pockmarked crusty condensed snow that is still 3 feet deep with not a sign of earth or Spring. The house cracks and bangs every night from the severity of the cold. My spirit so longs for sun and warmth right now. Perhaps I should move? I ask myself this every March and April it seems.
