Dear
Art Lover,
I drove to the Houston area this
weekend, about 2-3 hours east of Austin, Texas, where I am hanging my hat for
the next 30 days. I timed my visit to
the Italian Consulate so that I could see as many friends along the way as
possible. The first meeting happened on
Saturday in The Woodlands, north of Houston.
Pinterest was having an arts and crafts event in the Marriott Hotel…
what a space it was! My friend Nancy
Hines was doing an painting demo there.
In ONE hour! She did an amazing
job of it, too! Check out her work on
her site:
Then on Sunday morning, I drove to Missouri
City to meet with a model who wanted to work with me. We decided to drive to the beach in
Galveston. Hahah… I got my TacoCabana
fix for lunch. We worked under the pier
since I am not a fan of direct sun and we had too few available hours to wait
for the sun to lower her head. While we
were working there, a woman asked me if I had a business card. She and her daughter had decided they wanted
to picnic in the shade under the pier near us and had overheard us talking as
we worked.
Well, the only things I had brought with
me were my tools, an umbrella, and car keys.
So, I wrote my Web site address in the sand in front of her and she
photographed it with her phone. Hahaha…
surreal, this world we live in. I do
hope that she looks me up because that is a lovely story about meeting a
person!
Hours later, I dropped my new model friend
at his home and drove on into central Houston.
This last image is of me with Lucrecia and one of my photographs on
metal. Her sister Lili will receive this
as her reward for the level of support she gave my “Casting Call: I’m Melting!
Melting! Into Bronze” art project
on Kickstarter this past March.
And this last image is just a fun
one. Back in Texas and the land that
loves hot sauces, made with a variety of hot peppers. Enjoy…
Peace,Kelly
