We are having a backyard wedding this weekend.

One of my daughter's friends is getting married in our back courtyard.

Needless to say, I have done no painting this week.

Instead I've been pulling weeds, cleaning flower beds, cleaning my studio,

and about a million other things to make the house and yard look presentable.

I will post photos tomorrow.

I'm also making a sign at the entry to the courtyard that says,

 "Happily Ever After Starts Here."

It should be fun - I am not actually "attending" the wedding, I will be babysitting my little granddaughterwhile my kiddos attend the wedding. 

It's small, only about 25 people. And there will be a barbeque afterwards. 

Maybe I'll be invited to attend that, lol.

I am stoked to have nothing to do but paint next week.

I also want to go to Weems and see the show of Mary Ann Weems work that opens tonight.

She's the person who gave me my start in my career and I want to support her too.  

Painting is coming along nicely. I am excited about creating my linework and have so many ideas lined up. And I am itching to take a day trip and do some painting on location!

I'll also be starting on my first large painting for my September show next week.

Postcards are ready to be mailed, so if you are not on my mailing list and want one, drop me an email at dshadowtail@aol.com.

Happy Spring!
