I have finished my fourth painting in my “Just Sayin’…” series. The series is inspired by our cell phone culture. In this particular version, a person is talking on the cell phone while her kitty waits patiently close by. Naturally, the kitty wishes the person would hang up the phone and pet her. I am amused and inspired by cats watching people talking on phones. Its as if the cat wants to join in on the conversation, and often they do. I’ve been basking in the glow of a recent success and mentioned wanting to talk about it in my last post (Sometimes I Do Not…Get Into Juried Art Shows). I am honored to say that one of my paintings was accepted in to a major juried art show, the Northwest Watercolor Society’s 74th Annual International Open Exhibition. Getting in to the Open Exhibition has been a goal of mine for the past 11 years. Success is sweet. I’m thinking about times when things don’t go my way. For example, sometimes I don’t get into juried art shows. I rarely talk about it because it feels like a rejection and calls for a private moment. I find it easier to talk about the times I do get in. Success makes me feel good; not succeeding makes me think about all sorts of things.Art Across America

My husband Robert (webmaster, database manager, and co-marketing director) and I are getting ready for our big camping trip. We are going to travel from our home in Oregon east across the country. We will be doing an on-line journal at our website “The Gallivanters” (now “On The Road Again With Robert & Peggy”). The Gallivanters lists our itinerary and routing.
We are looking forward to traveling back east, seeing family and friends.
