I'm preparing to go to Artfest. It should be wonderful. I'm taking classes with Michael deMeng, Patricia Seggebruch, and Jesse Reno. What an amazing opportunity to learn from, and be inspired by, such talented folks. I'm also looking forward to going back to Port Townsend. It's going to be tough to tear myself away from what I've been working on, but I'm sure I'll have a great time. 
The theme for Artfest this year in fairy tales. I'm not much of a fairytale kind of girl, but I did a little frog-prince inspired painting to share. 

  

Part of the fun of Artfest is the trading. Almost everybody brings a little something to trade. I just received an email saying to my trades are in transit, and I can't wait for them to arrive. I have so much to do before I leave, so I better get to it. I hope my trades make it in time!
