Well, it’s been a busy and fruitful week for Martha and I and our art projects this week. Since our last posting we attended the Second Saturday event at the Cashmere Arts and Activities Center which was well attended and had two musical treats. Kirk Lewellen played original music written by him on guitar and alternately the crowd was treated by Sharon Brodder singing show tunes most notably “Can’t Stop Lov’n Dat Man” from the musical Show Boat. A video of Sharon singing can be seen at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7FUJebI-8k&feature=channel_video_title 
And, as for videos, the same day I posted the video of Sharon I also posted a video I put together of Terry Johnson decorating one of his pots with sculpting on the side. The Terry Johnson video which is informative and a bit humorous as well as, Terry can be, can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnAL8hUb7MY&feature=relmfu The video was taken on Saturday before the Cashmere event while we were continuing the 38th anniversary art sale at Terry Signs and Studio. Sales were good and it was good to see more people coming in. Terry continues to give free pottery lessons to anyone who is interested… what a guy!
Meanwhile Martha has been diligently working on the sculptures for the library in Quincy and in fact some folks associated with the Library there came out one day this week to see how that project is coming. They enjoyed looking at all of Martha’s art and a few of my photos I am told. Martha also, taught an art class at Catholic Family and Child Services for the Child Care Providers Class there. And, of course her weekly art class with the residents at the local Emergency Housing Facility where they are making Christmas Tree ornaments out of clay, which I will be firing in the kiln as soon as they are dry.
In preparation for the upcoming Dancing While Painting event at the NUART Gallery which Martha will be doing this Saturday Nov. 26th in the East Wenatchee Mall, we picked up some new canvases from the Craft Warehouse as well as some acrylic paint. This so; Martha will have everything she’ll need at the ready for Super Saturday, which is what I have been told the day after Black Friday is now called. After buying the canvases we went to NUART and visited Gary Doan the owner and making final plans for the big day.
My own art work had to take a back seat this week after posting the videos as I had plenty to keep me busy upgrading one of our rentals and seeing clients. But, that was all worthwhile and very fulfilling. And, although this is the first chance I have had to write all week, I have been checking our blog stats and am pleased to see that new people are reading this blog from more countries all over the world… who would have thought. Also, the two videos described above and my other recent video titled “Tearing Down the House” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95WzkG615x8 have had quite a few views.
Also, this week it was nice to get out and see B.B. King at the Town Toyota Center with a friend while Martha was at “Joseph and Technicolor Dream Coat” with some folks who had a child in the performance at Wenatchee High School. I was able to take a few pics at the B.B. King show with my phones camera, but alas… not as good as would have been the case with my good camera.
Well, enough for now and back to work even though its Saturday… ahh, the life of a landlord… hahaha.
