Here is Earl's new career...

One is gleaning....This a really neat thing he has gotten involved in with Terry Delaney. They are gleaning and getting left over pastry from The Solvang Bakery and fruits and veggies from the farmer's market and local grocers and taking to the Rescue Mission, Salvation Army and some other organizations that help people that help themselves or are involved in helping others. No pay but he is feeling very rewarded. His other new job is painting slot cars for as slot car track in Santa Maria....He of course loves that....I am not sure yet if it will pay the house payment...

I am busy working on my proposal for ArtFest next year....I am a little frantic right now but excited too.



Here is a peek at the progess...Besides repeating the painting class I offered last year..oops that was this year...with a little twist, I am hoping to teach a painting class focusing on the merits of value and contrast in a painting....called "more for your value...." We will see if the ArtFest committee sees my vision...
