I am doing a lot of framing today in preparation for hanging a lot of framed prints in Denville, NJ at Cafe Metro in October. This is one of the ones I am framing: finished dimensions (4" 8-ply archival mat, gallery style frame) are 29 x 23." I am choosing really vibrant pieces because the three rooms are painted a gorgeous deep yellow.

I am really busy today: doing computer support for the hubbie, ordering frames online, and giving my dog Lucy a bath. She always
looks so good, and is so soft after her bath.

I am so excited to have sold my first piece through my new venture with SOMI Fine Art Gallery in Flemington, NJ. I just hung my first pieces there in September and I am happy to be associated with this group of talented and creative visual artists.
The photograph that I sold, titled Echeveria, has a lot of meaning to me. The subject is an Echeveria plant that my good friend gave to me after my father passed away. I love the way the little 1/4 inch flowers curl around the stem.

I am finally going back to look at some of the images from our summer trip to the Michigan Upper Peninsula. What a diversity of colors on the beach at Pictured Rock National Seashore. We hiked in 3.5 miles to this beach on Lake Superior.
