Testing, testing, 1 2 3 testing… Let’s see if my blog is working properly now. I don’t know if WordPress did something or if I did something or what, but it’s been annoying the heck out of me. My web designer installed the latest version, so let’s see if that fixed the problems. First test: see if it will make paragraphs again.

So far so good, but I won’t know for sure until I see the actual post. I’m back from a long weekend painting trip to Moab, Utah. The temperature was delightfully in the 70s, but the wind was outrageous! All of my paintings were sand blasted. Here’s an example:

I have to run. I’m crazy busy, trying to get ready for my Studio Sale here next Saturday. I figure it will probably help if I get invitations out before then. Next year I hope to have an organization person on board to help me with my office work (we’re going to trade for artwork). That’s the funny thing about us artists – we just want to make art and bury our heads in the sand when it comes to paperwork. Maybe that’s why my painting got covered with sand…
