Hello all you Music and Art fans, just wanted to let you know that I’ve been accepted as one of the visual artists at this year’s String Fling in Sterling, NY. (StringFling on MySpace) I’ll be creating two or three large canvases while the music happens, at the end of the event the pieces will be given away to people in the audience.
What’s a String Fling? 3 Days of Music, Art, Camping and Drum Camp! The gates open this Thursday at noon, day passes are available for Friday and Saturday too, so if you are in the area stop on by, support local musicians and make some new friends.
An Artist is not an Artist if s/he is not creating. The time away from the canvas was needed and now I feel like there is something ready to emerge. I’ll try to get some photos of the pieces in various stages for those who might be interested in seeing them. For now it is back to packing and sorting through Art supplies.
On the homefront:
I stopped by the local farmer’s house today, the one that will be haying my fields. Him and his son had just finished up 50 acres and looked like they could go do another 50 before lunch. Hard workers, nice people, good neighbors.
The yard has been mowed and trimmed, a new small access path is in place so I don’t have to disturb the horses in order to access the back acreage, strawberries are done for the season, apples are getting bigger, Jasper got loose yesterday but came home exhausted and smelling like the swamp and a few dead animals he must have encountered a few hours later. A quick bath took care of that…thankfully.
Happy Birthday America.
