I’m preparing for another Los Angeles Art Festival in ten days – this one is in Thousand Oaks (June 7 & 8, booth #43). I’m re-stocking my layout for the festival with a few petite paintings. This one is quite tiny, and it’s a sliver of a larger painting I’ve been working on during art festivals as a demo that measures about 24×36. I’ll post it as soon as I finish. I’m excited to dive back into the studio after this show, with more room in my schedule, sketches on scraps of paper littering my desk, and a head full of ideas.
In the meantime, I wish each of you a creative close of May, and a fruitfully artistic plan for June. What are your art-making plans? What do you have in the creative hopper?

Art Quote
I think at last I am beginning to be glad that I am a painter. I begin to see that the love, the simple love of the beautiful things of nature, the way things look, is enough to give anyone the right to be a painter… I have never been so content to be a painter & nothing else. I feel so strongly that one’s own approbation is the only reward ever to be had for one’s work – that the opinion of the world becomes more & more indifferent to me. Dennis Miller Bunker ~1886
Woo Hoo! Beautiful painting, and a happy day for Barbara M. Love this entire post, and the quote. You amaze and delight me each time I visit with you here.
Thank you one million.
XOXOXOXOXO Barbara
