I love our red archway.
The turnout was fabulous and we were packed with well-wishers all night.
As enjoyable as it was, I'm relieved the various pomp and circumstance is over with, enabling Jackie and I to get back to the serious business of painting. We both have shows and exhibits fast approaching and need to buckle down and get productive.
Next Saturday Voilart! will serve as headquarters for local plein air painters participating in the International Worldwide Paint Out. We'll provide the initial sign-up for artists and also provide approximate locales where they can be found painting for interested observers. For more info check out the Ocala Plein Air Painters website.

Wow.. another event coming right up... you don't let any grass grow under your feet do you??
Thank you so much everyone. The support we've received from friends, family, artists, other business owners, politicians etc. has been nothing short of amazing. When this level of synchronicity manifests, it MUST be right.
Thanks for visiting!
