Summer time fun :O)


Hello my dear friends!
I hope you are all well and enjoying the beautiful weather we are having!
At least here in New England the hot spell and rainy weather has cleared and it
is just lovely outside!

I am still in physical therapy for my "new hip" but things are coming along quite well!
While on the mend I have been keeping very busy with my art work. I have completed several
projects this summer.



As I mentioned before- I had a commission for 35 painted goblets.
The commission was for a (garden party themed) 60th Wedding Anniversary.
I painted red and maroon lilies, pink roses, white and pink glads, yellow daisies and sunflowers, purple and blue tulips.  The tables looked so lovely with the colorful tablecloths and painted glasses!


Just before the party weekend I also was asked to paint a silk altar cloth.
Again ...with the garden party in mind I painted roses and 2 roses were intertwined.


I also have taken some classes at "Diablo Glass School" in Boston.
*** Who knew working with glass and making fused glass
pieces would be so rewarding! I LOVE IT!***

Well, with a few more trips to Gloucester and Ogunquit... my summer will be complete.
How I do love the summertime!! Don't worry I will try not to get all teary eyed at the thought of
returning to work again! Teeheee

Of course I have plenty of art work in my plans as well as a trip to Louisville this fall.
All for now- Happy Friday and come back for a visit soon!
Love ya all!
Mary
