March Happenings

Hadn't been to the La Quinta Arts Festival in 3 years. It was time for another visit.


We were greeted by Michael Gard's sculpture dancing in the breeze.

Fondness for trees.
The setting for what is known as the #1 Fine Arts and Craft Festival
in the nation.



Hadn't visited Bob William's Nursery in about 4 years.




We bought the plant below about 6 years ago and it's multiplied numerous times. The name on
the pot was Spider Web. But alas at the nursery I found out that it's AKA Lemon Drop Fortnight Lily.
Mmmm, which name is more suitable?




Worked on setting up a studio in what was mom's casita. There is a breezeway
between the house and the Studio. Yes, a separate entrance!
Some furniture I painted for the Studio. 



And once again the magical cactus blooms are starting to greet me daily.
 I think of them as the gift of April!

Your studio will be lovely with a bit of a breeze blowing through. I used to go to a lot of cactus growers years ago but havn't bought any in a long time. Those spines look rather sharp ;-) Enjoy your blooms!

I'm so glad you got out to enjoy the art show and revisit past spaces. Beautiful photos.
Your new studio space is simply lovely and I can see all kinds of wonderful possibilities. Enjoy!
You deserve it!!!
