Happiness

I am reading a book called "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin. The author talks about finding your happiness triggers. Not everyone even knows what makes them happy! All of you fellow artists have found something that makes you happy and that is art! Creating, looking for ideas, learning about art, and meeting great fellow artists are all happiness triggers. Aren't we lucky to have something in our lives that makes us happy? OK sometimes frustrated but happy none the less!

Show at Fieldstone Winery

The Sisters of the Brush had our opening party at Fieldstone Winery in Rochester, Michigan on Friday, July 20th. We had a nice turnout with lots of wine sampling and appetizers. We are now looking forward to our next show which will be at Lawrence Street Gallery. Now if I only had time to paint!

Some of the Sisters

Here is a photo from when the Sisters of the Brush got together before Tari left for Californina. We will miss her dearly!

We are losing our Pearl

One of the members of the "Sisters of the Brush" Tari Kahrs, also known as the Pearl in Pearl and Pebble, (her etsy shop)is leaving us! She and her family are moving to the Los Angelos area. Tonight we are having a get together at my house. I don't know when we will be seeing her again.:( Hopefully her husbands job will send them back to Michigan soon.

New Show at Fieldstone Winery

After seeing the Sisters work at the Bean & Leaf we were invited, by the owner of Firebrick Gallery to have a show at Fieldstone Winery! We will have a show at Fieldstone for the month of July. We are quickly getting work together and the opening will be Friday, July 20th. The downtown streets of Rochester should be completed by then so getting around will be much easier.

Opening night at the Bean & Leaf

The Sisters of the Brush enjoyed an opening night at the Bean & Leaf in downtown Rochester on June 1st. The show has at least two pieces by each of the sisters that we mixed though out the coffee shop. The Sisters numbers have dropped to 7 as Tari Kahrs is moving to California and has been busy with her one year old twins boys.

Art at the Bean & Leaf

My art group, Sisters of the Brush, will be having an art show at the Bean & Leaf. It is a tea and coffee house in Rochester Michigan. It is at the corner of Rochester Rd/Main and University. There used to be a Starbucks in this location. We will each have several paintings for sale there along with a painting by the deceased Mary McCarthy Anderson. Any proceeds from this painting will go to the Paint Creek Center for the Arts scholarship fund. The show will run for the month of June and our opening will be June 1st. The time is yet to be determined. I hope to see you there!
