Hot Springs, Arkansas!

Tonight we conduct the sixth session of our artists "salon". Many topics to discuss including deciding on an official name and mission statement. We are a powerful group of successful artists. Our focus is on business and marketing and the shifts and changes occurring with each one of us is nothing short of amazing. More info on us later...

Very early tomorrow morning we are Arkansas bound, Hot Springs to be exact. All week long Michael and I have been busy readying the originals and giclees for Gallery Central. I'm so excited and looking forward to this exhibit. We get to meet lots of new people. I don't think we've ever been to Arkansas or even driven through it. A new place to explore! I've been told to take in a "bath" while there.

The races at the Dubai World Cup on Saturday were fascinating to watch, bringing together the best of the best horses and trainers on the planet. The American horses didn't dominate as in past years but still upheld a strong competitive presence. I admire the "no drugs" policy of hay, oats and water. Seems to me that rule separates the fastest, strongest, fittest and truly talented horses from the rest. That's the Argentinian-bred Horse of the Year Invasor romping to victory.

Steve Bailey of Thoroughbred Times attended a lavish party to launch the vision of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum for his new racing complex in Dubai in 2010. These words appeared across three screens: “When we dream alone, it is only a dream. When we dream together, it is the beginning of reality.”
