I have painted about everything that stands still. Fredo asked me where I have been and the answer is outside painting deck furniture, iron fences and gates etc. We have a huge iron gate at the entrance to the farm that says Shadybrook and is made out of old iron wagon wheels.It has to be painted every year or so.

Ted and I have not done any art for ages. We just accumulated a lot that we are not proud of enough to hang. I painted a lot of portraits, (my favorite thing) but my children didn't seem to appreciate them. You can see Adrienne's portrait if you go to blogster and click on my picture gallery. Ted is a much better artist than I. He does wood sculpture as well as painting. I do like to design jewelry...just the costume stuff. We both like pottery and when we first retired took a couple of classes.

The festival of the Arts is going in Oklahoma City. It is too big now and it usually rains. we went last year and saw some incredible paintings and pots. Dottie might be interested in coming and she could stay with us. It is supposed to be a hot market.

Bye for now...Jeri
