Absolutely nothing brings more joy to an artist than when a collector falls in love with their work. This happened to Janice, and she could not get this painting out of her mind.
When hubby Mitch approved the purchase, it was great fun watching the two of them entranced by the work and asking questions about its creation.
It’s always great fun going to Mosaic Artist Dave Hanson’s shows…besides, I needed another chicken!
Dave introduced me to two recent graduates of Woodbury University who had curated a student exhibition in the Nan Rae Gallery there.

Awesome Steve Benson, President of the Music Center Foundation. Yikes, did I shrink?

I love being able to support the Music Center’s Spotlight Program as it’s committed to nurturing young people and transforming their lives.
Friends for almost 30 years, it was great fun comparing notes on our favorites with author Lisa See.
Bravo Lovely Valerie for supporting the California Art Club. Angel and I were delighted.
Elaine Adams, powerhouse of the Club.
It’s hard to believe I’ve known Peter Adams for over forty years… back when he was apprentice to Theodore Lutkis and I was a bewildered student (briefly). Peter is the same fine gentleman he was then.

June’s Salon on the Spiritually Creative Life, founded by Carol Soucek King, is now in its 29th year and on ZOOM. Carol is always so kind to support my books.
Master Storyteller David Bender gave the main Presentation on the topic of “Humor.”
As always, dinner later that evening at El Portal, enjoyed by the “Stars” of the Salon on the Spiritually Creative Life!
Lovely Maggie was in town being a new resident in Kentucky so dear Ralph and Kathy treated us to a feast at Panda Inn in Pasadena. If you haven’t been there, it’s the original restaurant which was completely renovated and serves the most delicious Chinese food ever!
There was more to come.
There’s quite a bit more to come in June so stay tuned.
