Smokey

Ash covered my car as I left early this morning to drive out to Winter Haven Farm to pick up the approved mural comp. I took this photo of the smoke-laden haze hanging over the landscape. Wild fires have been raging throughout north central Florida and southwestern Georgia. The winds shifted last night and now the air is dangerously thick.

We had another productive meeting last night of our artist's salon, "Out of Hand Artists" (OOHA). Who knew we'd turn into such a powerful group? It's organized around networking for business and marketing. Always a ton of information to share with each other and the camaraderie of just getting together to talk art stuff is amazingly supportive and creative. The members are all pros involved with the serious business of furthering their careers and their achievements are inspiring.
