following my smile....

I've been signing cards, emails and anything else with the phrase "Follow your Smile" latley. It seems like a good thing to ask someone to do and I've been doing it myself. I've realized something and that is that I really like people and talking to them, getting them together and seeing them smile -- even better hearing them laugh!
This weekend was the first solo show I did. The art was amazing, the turn out spectacular. Food was provided by Baja Bettys, fab vino from Wine Steals and deserts to die for from Vejas Casino. Two acoustic guitars welcomed guests to the 3 room venue. Michael Saltsman is an amzaing artist and he has quite the following. The day began setting up the make-shift bar and outdoor patio area. The ocean being only a matter of blocks away helped create a relaxing breeze and free scent the entire day. Everyone has a different idea of success and I think we hit em all! Paintings sold.....7 paintings and 1 sculpture to be exact! :) The mood was high and filled with conversation, laughter and much praise for all the art.
Whoooo HOooooo!~
Next show here I come! It's looking like November and December will be another multiple artist show. In between, I am hoping to be able to pull off the fashion show's art for December!

folowing my smile :)

rain at the window

this may be odd.
this may be a surprise.
it may be due to the lights strung on houses.
it could have something to do with the rain at my window.
i'm left with the idea of.
i'm relishing the idea of.
whow told you it's gotta be?
i was told by a somebody.
a somebody that is now the me to share.
this may be odd.
more than an imaginary lesson.
one request i offered.
one i received.
ask for what you want...
and walk with it's reflection.
this may be a surprise.
this may be odd.
who gave paths to.
it has never been it.
on a reflection walk it is.
it is odd.
it is the fickle.
it is the reflect.
it could be the moment.
it could be the image received.
it is the walk.
this may be odd.
this may be odd.
